The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
Provence is perfect for a Winter break as temperatures remain pretty much balmy all year round. The golden light has drawn artists to the region for centuries and much of their work is exhibited around the city and Nice is only second to Paris as an art lovers destination. Chagall and Matisse have museums dedicated to their works, while the Fine Arts Museum has a delightful collection of works by Raoul Dufy, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet and Van Gogh. A short drive away, in the beautiful town of Antibes is the stunning Picasso museum.
Historically, as early as 7BC the Romans named a province Alpes Maritimae - the capital was then Cemenelum, today Cimiez, a suburb in the North of the city. In Cimiez, Roman bath ruins testify to its importance at the height of the Roman empire. When in 1860, Nice became French, it was still a small town and the department had fewer than 200,000 inhabitants.
However, the population grew quickly from 300,000 at the beginning of the 20th century to over a million.With a distinctly Italian flavour, Nice has been a favourite with English speaking visitors for over 200 years and is now the fifth largest and second most visited city in France. There are panoramic views from the Parc de Chateau and long pebbly beaches for sun-worshippers.
Nice has a great street life, especially during Carnival, a two-week celebration involving parades and dances, culminating in fireworks on Shrove Tuesday.
