Nice's beaches are pebbly. On the other hand there are a lot of them, and most are free, warm and clean as a whistle. The city itself is brash and bold (no such thing as being too old to wear a bikini) and enormously popular, so if you're looking for a place of Zen-like peace... move on.

● When To Go
The Cτte d'Azur has a proven reputation for sun, with an average 2500 hours
per year. Winter (Nov-Feb) hardly ever gets colder than 5°C (41°F) and from
then on it's all just differing degrees of warm, from a mild average of 15°C
(59°F) most of the year right up to temperatures of 40°C (104°F) in July and
August.
