Combining the sun and sea of the French Riviera with the convenience offered by one of France’s major cities, this fully furnished studio apartment in the Vieux Port area of Nice has something for everyone. The vacation rental accommodation is located on the fourth floor (considered fifth by Americans) of a postwar building with an elevator and intercom.

Nice is known for the natural beauty of its graceful Baie des Anges (1.2km/.8mi) as well as for its cultural richness:

• There’s no shortage of museums in the area, whether you’re interested in the region’s prehistory (Musée Paléontologique Humaine de Terra Amata, 260m/.2mi), contemporary art (Musée d’art moderne, 850m/.5mi) or the work of a local favorite, Marc Chagall (2.3km/1.4mi).
• Stroll down the innovative and recently opened Promenade du Paillon (1.7km/1mi) or hike up the historic Colline du Château (1.2km/.7mi) to enjoy the nice weather and get to know the city.
• Experience Nice’s unique blend of French, Provençal and Italian cuisine at port-side eateries like L’Âne Rouge (250m/.2mi), Restaurant les Pêcheurs (350m/.2mi), and Les Amoureux (350m/.2mi).

As a travel hub between Italy, Monaco, Corsica and the South of France, Nice offers lots of transportation options, from the TGV (high speed trains, 5 hours from Paris) and regional trains at Gare Nice-Ville (2.6km/1.6mi) to air travel arriving at Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport (11.2km/7mi) and ferries leaving from the Old Port (750m/.5mi).
