After three years of disruption, the new tram system - which carries 60,000 passengers a day for a flat fare of €1 - has given downtown Nice an overhaul and opened up northern areas of the city that were previously out on a limb.
The proliferation of flights from the UK, including recently launched routes from London City Airport and numerous low-cost options from regional airports, have also helped to make Nice, the most visited city in France outside of Paris, more accessible than ever.
