The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The city of Nice is the regional capital of the Cote d'Azur on the Mediterranean coast of southern France, and is a very popular holiday destination for travellers wanting to visit the region. Boasting an exceptional year round climate, with temperatures that range from around 10C in the winter up to 40C in the high summer, Nice is as popular with sun worshippers wanting to lie on the (pebbly) beaches as it is for people wanting to tour around the area of Provence, and soak up the laid back lifestyle and exquisite food that the region is famous for.
With good shopping, and plenty of culture in the form of museums and galleries to wander around, Nice has plenty to do during the day, and at night, there is a great nightlife in the city that draws people from the surrounding areas in every day. The city lends itself equally well to a family beach holiday as it does to a short romantic break.
There are cheap deals on package holidays and flights to Nice available throughout the year, and with good prices on car hire too, you can use the city as a base to explore the surrounding area, and see the glamorous resorts of Cannes and Monaco easily on a day trip from Nice.
Nice / Carre d'Or area
Quartiers Musiciens Situated between the bustling Avenue Jean Medecin and the ever-fashionable Carre D'Or, the Quartier Musiciens is well located and perfect for those who want a stylish residential quarter without the associated high prices.
Named after famous musicians, such as Mozart and Verdi, this area is suburban heaven. The buildings display very similar characteristics to the nearby belle epoque, bourgeois and art-deco style Carre D'Or. Large windows and wooden floors are to be found in many of the apartments here. A more subtle type of wealthy resident, such as the eloquent French retiree, dwells in this quarter.
There is an abundance of beautiful parks in this area, such as the fabulous Parc d'Alsace-Lorraine on the western fringes of the quarter. Apart from some excellent restaurants, nightlife is scarce. This area is strictly for those who want a quieter neighbourhood.
Although similar in ways to the Carre D'Or, the Quartier Musiciens gives greater size for your money. Apartments tend to be large, a testament to the general affluence of the area when it was constructed in the 1920s and 1930s.
This area is perfect for those who want central locations, beautiful and quiet surroundings and less extravagant prices. Unique, belle-epoque apartments, while plentiful in this area, are relatively few in the city as a whole. This area is good for long-term capital appreciation investments.

Guestbook
Sally Wallace. My husband and I spent a fantastic time in this apartment during an unusually wet spell in Nice. We found it relaxing and good for people-watching. This area is so central and yet it feels really French. Geoff Thorpe. I will definitely return for a longer stay. Thank you so much for your care and attention to detail during our stay. P.Atkins: Very nice apartment and wonderful location - no complaints whatsoever and much better than I expected for the first of many intended return trips to Nice.
