About Nice!
This French town was founded all the way back in 350 BC by the Greeks who had settled in Marseille. The original name of this colony was actually Nikaia to commemorate Nike, their goddess of victory. It's been a magnet for tourists for about 400,000 years and even helped as a secret passageway for jews who were prosecuted during the Middle Ages. This history-rich city is one of many in France.

C'est Quoi Nice?- A Video Montage
Our class compiled a montage of what Nice, France, our namesake, means to us.
A city of class and architecture, where everything comes together and envelopes perfectly, and showcases the best of France. Best known for its beaches, Nice is the perfect place to visit. The beaches are splendid and you can get a glimpse of city life and rural farming in the same place.
Poetry
French culture is often associated with the language of romance, and one of the most romantic things is, you guessed it, poetry.
