Nice, capital of the Côte d'Azur, is the largest city between Genoa and Marseille-and also one of the most ancient, dating back to Greek times. This sophisticated "Queen of the Riviera" is perfect for sun lovers since it boasts an average 300 days of sunshine per year. Enjoy a stroll along the 200-year-old Promenade des Anglais, which hugs the city's Mediterranean coastline. There are also plenty of sightseeing opportunities, including the Old Town, the colorful Cours Saleya Flower Market; the Matisse Museum with its outstanding collection of the great local artist's work; the Russian Orthodox Church, the oldest church of its kind outside Russia; and the archaeology museum and ruins of the Roman amphitheatre, public baths, and streets.

When it comes to Paris, words fail. No description or superlative comes close to capturing the magic of the inimitable "City of Light." It's not just the culture…or the history…or the people, architecture, or food. It's all of those things-plus, so much more. Whether it's day, night, winter, summer, spring, or autumn, in Paris, the very air feels enchanted. Certainly, few places have as many recognizable icons: Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre. Whether you're shopping along the Champs-Élysées, cruising down the River Seine, taking in a cabaret show at the historic Moulin Rouge, strolling through the artist village of Montmartre, or simply basking in the city's je ne sais quoi at a sidewalk café, Paris will make a lasting impression on you.
