Nice

is located in south east of France, on French Riviera. Nissa La Bella is ranked as the 5th city in France (some will say it's not true, but, whatever, officially it's still the fifth one). There's "about" 500 000 people living here and in the area. It's a sunny place, with beaches, mountains and landscapes all around. The best time to come will definitely be in June and September, as it's not overcrowded as it is in July and August. But for people who don't care about summer and warm weather, let's come in winter (don't worry about temperature is never less than 8°c) and you'll see how quiet and pretty and nice and pleasant it is to live here. And especially for mountains, let's go skiing it's about one hour driving. There's a lot of couchsurfers here, but not so many very active, so if you plan to come in summer, be sure to get enough money to spend night in hotel or hostel in case you won't find a couch.
