Nice in October

October offers a mellow charm to the French Riviera's capital, Nice, escaping the summer crowds and heat. The azure Mediterranean still invites leisurely strolls along the Promenade des Anglais, and the scent of late-blooming jasmine fills the air as the light softens beautifully over the Baie des Anges.
