Nice, named by the Greeks after the goddess Nike, or Victory, is the capital city of the Riviera. With its mild climate, narrow white pebbly beaches, and striking mountain landscapes, it's easy to see why Nice attracted Romans, Renaissance royals, tsars, and moneyed Victorians, as well as creative minds such as Dumas, Picasso, Nietzsche, Berlioz, Flaubert, Hugo, Chagall, Sand, and Matisse.
