City of Nice on the French Riviera - a photo on Flickriver

The city is a major tourist centre and a leading resort on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice. There were settlements in the Nice area approximately 2,000 years ago: the site of Terra Amata shows one of the earliest uses of fire and construction of houses. Nice was founded probably around 350 BC by the Greeks of Massilia (Marseille) and received the name of "Nikaia" in honour of a victory over the neighbouring Ligurians (Nike being the Greek goddess of victory). It soon became one of the busiest trading ports on the Ligurian coast
