Nice: France's number two destination for business tourism

Nice is the second behind Paris as a destination for international business travelers in France. The city is popular for its easy access: its airport, the 2nd largest in France, offers direct flights to 90 destinations in more than 40 countries. Nice also has the widest range of offers of hotels in France, after Paris, and most of them are located in the city centre. With more than 900 hotel rooms in the immediate vicinity of the Acropolis Convention and Exhibition Centre, it can host the biggest events.

Nice Lifestyle

The city's location at the seaside and exceptional sunshine (yearly average: 300 days) make Nice our choice for your next event. As soon as you arrive, you'll enjoy the exotic charm of the celebrated, palm tree-lined "Promenade des Anglais". During your free time, you can try local specialities (pissaladière, socca, farcis niçois...) and admire the warm, ochre façades of the Vieux Nice (the old town). The city also is a perfect departure point for exploring the French Riviera and the stunning hilltop villages that dot the surrounding countryside. For the athletic-minded, the area offers a wide range of sporting activities: water sports, scuba diving, golf, hiking trails and more. Nice also is a premier cultural centre! City life moves in the rhythm of its abundant cultural events and venues, such as Carnaval, the Nice Jazz Festival and numerous theatres and museums.
