Nice, France

If Nice doesn't have the most spectacular waterfront in the world, I'd like to see a better one.

The bay is a half-moon shape. Due to the mineral content in the water, part of the bay reflects an aqua color. The photo gets that idea across.

Nice has a nice long pedestrian area next to the rocky beach, perfect for walks and - in the lanes - bicycling. Part of this was the area that a terrorist struck some years ago; construction on a barrier between the street and the sidewalk was underway during our 2019 visit.

Just beyond that street is a series of fabulous hotels and business outlets, where the rich and famous visit. "The Promenade des Anglais" is world-famous, and deservedly so.

And then you realize that this is the French Riviera, and it's one of the great "playgrounds" on earth - for good reason.

Whatever your expectations of Nice were upon arrival, they will be exceeded. Here's a video look at the city:
