Nice was founded around 350 BC by the Greek seafarers who had settled Marseille. They named the colony Nikaia, apparently to commemorate a nearby victory (nike in Greek). In 154 BC the Greeks were followed by the Romans, who settled further uphill around what is now Cimiez, where there are still Roman ruins. Elegant and simple, Nice’s charm comes from its exceptional climate as well as its beauty. Nice is also a city of art and culture and after Paris, has the most museums in France.
