TOP 10 FRANCE ATTRACTION.
10.Nice port
It's just around the corner from Old Nice and the Quai des Etats Unis, this is a great spot to watch the Corsica ferries lift off.
9.
Nice Archaeology Museum and Roman Ruins
The ancient Romans also called the area home, and to this day visitors can see the ruins of a Roman arena and bathhouses at (or next to) this museum in the Nice Cimiez neighborhood (right next to the Matisse Museum). Inside, the archaeology museum houses an interesting mix of historic and archeological exhibits on the area.
8.
Russian Cathedral
As odd a pairing as the two seem, the Russian Cathedral is just one of many Russian attractions in the city. The cathedral is the finest example, and provides a rare opportunity to experience the former U.S.S.R. on the Cote d'Azur.
7.
Theatre de la Photographie et de l'Image
The museum typically hosts exhibits of universal appeal, such as a show dedicated to portraits of Hollywood celebrities over the decades and an exhibition on American Indians.

6.
Rue de France Pedestrian Zone
The Nice pedestrian zone, or "zone pietonne," is a hub of activity. This is the place if you need to load up on souvenirs. Grab a café au lait and watch the world go by, nibble on a crepe, or visit in the evening for a robust meal with an Italian accent. This is just a lively spot!
5.
Le Chateau
The best reason to visit the chateau is for the spectacular panoramic view of the city and sea. Be sure to bring your camera.
4.
Vieux Nice, or Old Nice
Old Nice is downright dripping with atmosphere. Its narrow streets are a one-stop shop for take-home finds, such as Provençal wares, household items, wine, gourmet gifts, hip clothing and more. Be sure to stop off for a delicious ice cream in this neighborhood.
3.
Matisse Museum
The lovely and innovative art of Henri Matisse was inspired by the fresh colors and lines of Nice. This vast museum shows Matisse's works from his more traditional early days to the end of his career.
2.
Cours Saleya Flower Market
Nice's famous Flower Market is one of the best attractions in the whole city. The edges are lined with cafés and souvenir shops, and the stands themselves are packed with amazing produce and myriad flowers.
1.
Promenade des Anglais
Few spots epitomize Nice -- or, in fact, the joie de vivre of the French Riviera in general than the inviting Promenade des Anglais. It is always bustling with humanity.There are tourists relaxing in the royal blue chairs lining the shore. Best of all, there are delightful seaside restaurants. Splurge on a chaise lounge, and let waiters bring you cocktails and appetizers.
