France: Nice

Last Saturday I got two postcards from France.

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

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


Stamps:
New Marianne
EUROPA (issued 13-05-2019)
with a special postmark from the philatelic shop in Nice


Thank You very much William!
