Nice is the main city on the French Riviera, and who

does not immediately associate the name with palm

trees, a hot sun and nice beaches? With its beautiful

location on the Baie des Anges, Nice is a good

starting point for trips along the coast or into the

interior

Nice has attracted tourists for centuries, and it is

possible that the Romans started tourism as early as

2,000 years ago by building the Roman baths, which

can still be seen in the Ciniez quarter Today, there is

both city and beach tourism in Nice and it is the

centre of a broad variety of possibilities, in the old

town, along the sea front, or in the beautiful

countryside surrounding Nice

Fashionable Nice, with the Promenade des Anglais

along the Mediterranean occupied by magnificent

buildings and imposing hotels and its many flowers

and palm trees, gives you a fantastic welcome to the

warmest region in France

Have a nice trip!

Historical outline

Historical Nice was founded on Colline du Château

Only a few archaeological finds from this period

have been preserved

In the 6th century, Greek influence spread from

Marseille along the coast to Nice The Greek region

of Nikaia (which means victory) was located in Nice

in the area that is now the old town, and it is

believed that there was a Greek Acropolis on Colline

du Château

In 154 B.C., the Romans helped the Greek in

Marseille to defend Nikaia and the nearby Antibes

and this became the beginning of the increasing

Roman dominance in the area

In the year 14 B.C., the Romans founded

Cemenelum in what is today the Cimiez quarter in

Nice From the outset, Cemenelum was the regional

centre of Alpes Maritimae, something which Nice

still is for the French department of Alpes-Maritimes

Cemenelum never became an important city in the

Roman Empire No city walls, fortifications or major

temples were built, but still, it is possible today to see

a Roman theatre and Roman baths Cemenelum was

also the place where the Moureille Aqueduct began

It was the absolute centre of the Romans in the area

The Roman influence in Nice decreased in line with

the fall of the Roman Empire The Barbarian attacks

on the Roman Empire grew in frequency and in the

4th century, the area was attacked and partly

destroyed In the following many centuries,

Cemenelum was attacked by German and Arab

armies and in the course of time, the inhabitants

moved away from the exposed Cemenelum to the

sea – to Nikaia, which thus gained more influence

and became the most important city in the area

In 974, the last Arab armies were driven out of the area by Count William of Provence and the region was united

In 1032, Provence and thus Nice joined the Holy Roman Empire During this period, the finances and trade of the city boomed because of its fine location on the shore of the Mediterranean, and Nice grew

In the 12th century, there was tension in the area again and finally, the province was divided in two Toulouse got the northern areas, while Nice and the southern parts came under Catalan rule The Catalans expanded their influence to the Southern Alps, and Nice prospered again because of its status

as the central city in the area

In 1388, the War of the Spanish Succession broke out and to Nice, this meant that it became annexed into the new Dutchy of Savoy, under Italian rule, where Nice became one of the major cities

Medieval Nice expanded around the Colline du Château and the fortifications of Nice defended the city during the following centuries against French and Turkish troops, until France under Louis XIV invaded Nice in two stages around 1700 and destroyed the military installations of the city Nice was soon back in the Savoy, however

Nice was invaded again in 1793 by troops from the new French Republic and for the next 21 years, Nice was the main city of a French province After the fall of Napoleon, Nice and Savoy belonged to the King of Sardinia

At the beginning of the 19th century, tourism began

to play a more and more important role in the area and there were many English visitors, which can be seen in the name of the beautiful sea front

In 1860, Nice became an official part of France after

the house of Savoy and France agreed to drive the

Austrians from northern Italy Being part of France

caused the tourism in Nice to flourish further In

1887, the area got its name Côte d’Azur by the poet

Stéphen Liégeard

The famous carnival in Nice was established in 1873

in a way that is much like today’s festivities The

Belle Époque lasted from 1880 to 1914 During this

period, Queen Victoria visited Nice several times

She stayed at the present day Hotel Victoria

In the 20th century, the city developed steadily and Nice of today is able to offer tourists particularly developed facilities in the city as well as in the coastal areas and in the area towards the neighbouring Alps

Promenade des Anglais is the famous waterfront

promenade of Nice and the place where local people

and the tourists enjoy relaxed strolls under the palms

come to this area where they could enjoy a mild

climate, and on their initiative, a promenade was

constructed along the natural and so far

undeveloped beaches This was in 1820 and the

promenade was named accordingly

Today, the street is approximately five kilometres

long and it stretches from the outskirts of the old

town of Nice towards the west and out of the city

centre The azure water of the Mediterranean lies on

one side of the promenade and the fashionable

hotels, apartments and mansions on the other A

and its opening towards the sea
