Question

Is Nice in France a large or small town?

Answer 1

Not the biggest but quite large

Answer 2

It's a large city, but not overly congested which is nice.  If you visit Nice, you'll see how nice it is.  Lots of great restaurants, shops, and a nice view of the Med.  If you go in the winter, it's mild (not warm, but no snow in general).  I have heard that it can be hot in the summer and many of the hotels have no aircondtioning.  I thought that the ppl were reasonably friendly, definitely less frantic than in Paris.  Driving, however, is still hectic and the lanes are much narrower than in the states or in Canada.  A good vacation value IMHO.
