Nice
Just Doing It — Côte d'Azur
Where stories turn into postcards and dreams meet the Mediterranean
Nice (pronounced Neese) is Greek for Nike, goddess of victory. Greetings from the dreamy coast of Provence, where stories turn into postcards and every wish seems within reach.
U2's Bono made Eze his permanent escape. Walt Disney arrived for a weekend — stayed for two weeks. The Medieval village here, poised above the sea, has drawn everyone from Nietzsche (who penned Thus Spoke Zarathustra) to Hitchcock, Cousteau, Lenny Kravitz, and yes, Brad & Angelina.
When in the French Riviera / Côte d'Azur, you don't *visit* the mountaintop village of Eze — you experience it. Suspended between the sky and the Med, it's like walking through a dream that smells of jasmine, pine, and salt air.

Look past the ancient walls of Eze and down that fabled serpentine road. That's where Princess Grace Kelly met her tragic end in 1982. It's a place of myth and meaning, where glamour and mortality whisper to each other beneath the sun.
