Nice

The gateway to the Riviera: the country's second airport at 14.8 million passengers and a hotel stock that runs from the Negresco to new-generation houses. The city sells as a base as much as a destination.

Hotel stock: 6 · 550 keys

Airports: Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), Marseille Provence (MRS), Toulon–Hyères (TLN). Rail from Paris: Nice — 5 h 40

Nice is the country's second airport and the gateway to the Riviera; Marseille serves Provence. The TGV to Nice takes nearly six hours, so the far south sells by air rather than rail.
