How do you describe Nice France?

Sheltered by beautiful hills, Nice has a pleasant climate and is the leading resort city of the Côte d'Azur, or French Riviera. Founded by the Phocaeans of Marseille (a colony of Greek mariners) around 350 bce, the city was probably named in honour of a victory (nike in Greek) over a neighbouring colony.
