    South France is still very beautiful, sweeping away the haze of London and Paris, with the same good sunshine as Barcelona. Many foreigners will bask in the sun here on the English Street.

    The old town of Nice has well preserved various styles of ancient buildings since the 18th century, such as Baroque churches and Italian-style buildings. Walk into the maze-like old town, stroll through the winding alleys, admire the brightly colored and different styles of buildings, and shop in the unique shops. If you walk to the Cours Saleya, you will immediately see all kinds of bright fruits, candies, and flowers, which are dazzling. If you are tired of walking, you can find a restaurant or cafe and sit in the open air to taste the specialties and famous dishes of Nice.

    The Bay of Angels in Nice, France, is named after the shape of the bay that resembles the wings of an angel. It is a very beautiful beach in France and a good place for people to spend the summer. Climbing up the castle and overlooking from the east is a good angle to appreciate the Bay of Angels. The beach of the Bay of Angels is very special. The beach is paved with pebbles. You can directly use your backpack as a pillow, lie on the coast, enjoy a luxurious sunbath, and listen to the sound of sea water flowing through the cracks of the stones when the tide hits the pebbles.

    It takes about half an hour to drive from the old town of Nice to the town of Eze. Going up from the town, you will find the botanical garden on the top of the mountain, which is the highest point of the town. The town of Eze is free to visit, but you need to buy a ticket for the botanical garden, which is 6 euros per person. It is definitely worth a visit because you can overlook the Mediterranean Sea from the top of the mountain, which is very beautiful.

    São Paulo, known as the world's most beautiful mountain city, has winding and narrow cobblestone paths. Walking through the archway, you will feel like you are back in the Middle Ages. The high walls are full of art galleries, souvenir shops and restaurants full of literary atmosphere.

    The walk to the top of the hill can be completed within half an hour, which is rather comfortable and suitable for family travelers. There were some ruins of an ancient church and fortress. The panorama of Nice is also breathtaking for travelers. The visit could normally be completed within two hours.

    Highly recommend tourists to discover the old quartier of Cannes which is less commercialised than the area near train station. Recommend anyone interested in history to visit Musee des explorations du monde, which is nestled within the ancient castle overlooking the old quartier. Although being a small museum, the collection of historical pieces around the world including Ancient Egypt, Greece and Africa is astonishing. The great number of artwork showing ancient Cannes and South of France are also of high historical values. The museum is also free to students.

    In the 18th century, the city started construction work in front of the Pairolière Gate, guaranteed by the King. It was a wasteland, scattered with stones from the demolished walls of the Citadel of Nice. The first draft of the plan was approved in 1761. However, due to lack of funds, the first filling works were delayed until 1773. The ground of the future square was raised to between 10 and 11 meters above sea level. In 1780, the situation changed because King Victor Amedeo III of Sardinia decided to build the Royal Avenue from Turin to Nice, and in order to match the size of the Royal Avenue, the area of ​​​​Piazza Garibaldi was also enlarged.
