About Nice
Nice is the largest city on the French Riviera, known for the Promenade des Anglais, its pebble beaches, the old town and the colourful flower market on the Cours Saleya. Its airport is the main gateway to the Côte d'Azur, including Monaco and Cannes.
Nice follows Central European Time, like the rest of mainland France: UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer when clocks go forward. It keeps the same time as Paris, Monaco and nearby Italy, so day trips along the coast to Ventimiglia or San Remo involve no change at all. Nice is one hour ahead of London.
