NICE - A NATURAL IRIDESCENCE |
Ideally situated on the pebbly shores of the Mediterranean Sea along the French Riviera, the city of Nice is also known for being a popular LGBTQ+ welcoming destination. An IGLTA Global Partner since 2011, the “Capital of the Côte d’Azur” boasts a vibrant, active LGBTQ+ community that organizes annual festivals, events such as LouQueernaval and the popular Pink Parade. Streets and crosswalks along rue Bonarparte and the Place du Pin, known by locals as the "petit marais" in reference to the gay neighborhood in Paris, have been painted in the colors of the rainbow. Despite being relatively untouched by the coronavirus pandemic, the city of Nice has established a health & safety certification label to reassure travelers visiting the metropolitan area. With direct, non-stop service from the US and other international airports, you can be basking in the sun on the Baie des Anges as soon as it’s safe to travel again.
