France: Nice

Today I got four postcards: three from France and one from Malaysia.

One of the cards from France shows Nice. Nice is a city on the Côte d'Azur. In the 18th century Nice became a popular winter residence for the British upper class and the picturesque surrounding also attracted many famous painters. Today is Nice France's fifth-largest city.

EDIT: Nice, Winter Resort Town of the Riviera was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2021.
