    South France is still very beautiful, sweeping away the haze of London and Paris, with the same good sunshine as Barcelona. Many foreigners will bask in the sun here on the English Street.

    The old town of Nice has well preserved various styles of ancient buildings since the 18th century, such as Baroque churches and Italian-style buildings. Walk into the maze-like old town, stroll through the winding alleys, admire the brightly colored and different styles of buildings, and shop in the unique shops. If you walk to the Cours Saleya, you will immediately see all kinds of bright fruits, candies, and flowers, which are dazzling. If you are tired of walking, you can find a restaurant or cafe and sit in the open air to taste the specialties and famous dishes of Nice.

    The Bay of Angels in Nice, France, is named after the shape of the bay that resembles the wings of an angel. It is a very beautiful beach in France and a good place for people to spend the summer. Climbing up the castle and overlooking from the east is a good angle to appreciate the Bay of Angels. The beach of the Bay of Angels is very special. The beach is paved with pebbles. You can directly use your backpack as a pillow, lie on the coast, enjoy a luxurious sunbath, and listen to the sound of sea water flowing through the cracks of the stones when the tide hits the pebbles.

    The walk to the top of the hill can be completed within half an hour, which is rather comfortable and suitable for family travelers. There were some ruins of an ancient church and fortress. The panorama of Nice is also breathtaking for travelers. The visit could normally be completed within two hours.

    In the 18th century, the city started construction work in front of the Pairolière Gate, guaranteed by the King. It was a wasteland, scattered with stones from the demolished walls of the Citadel of Nice. The first draft of the plan was approved in 1761. However, due to lack of funds, the first filling works were delayed until 1773. The ground of the future square was raised to between 10 and 11 meters above sea level. In 1780, the situation changed because King Victor Amedeo III of Sardinia decided to build the Royal Avenue from Turin to Nice, and in order to match the size of the Royal Avenue, the area of ​​​​Piazza Garibaldi was also enlarged.

    Although it was a small space, it was a space where you could immerse yourself in Chagall's worldview and religious views. I think it's a must-see spot when you go to Nice.

    It's a big open-air market. There's really everything. But it feels more like a fish market or a seafood market. Maybe it's because it's on the coast. There are many types of fish that I've never seen before. Of course, there are many other handicrafts. It's still worth a visit.
