From November to February, the temperatures go down to 5°C.

What to eat
The food in Nice is mostly French although you can find Inter-continental and even an English breakfast or a Chine haunt. But as the saying goes, when in France, eat French food and drink French wine. Some of the French offerings include crepes, coq au vin and cassoulet, which are popular and common.
The beach
The beaches of Nice are filled with pebbles and stones and can be quite packed in the summers. There are a few private beaches where you can find sand and easily sunbathe but on public beaches, it is a no-no!
