Nice, France

Nice, France is the name of the city located on the French Riviera in French.

Did you know?

While the city is spelled Nice, the English adjective 'nice' comes from the Old French word nice, which originally meant 'foolish' or 'ignorant'.
For centuries, Nice was not part of France but belonged to the House of Savoy and the Kingdom of Sardinia, only becoming French in 1860.
The city of Nice is the center of a regional dialect called Nissart, which is a variety of Occitan and differs significantly from standard French.
