French capital, Paris, is one of the global centers of commerce, science and culture. It is served by many airports, some of which are well within the city, while the rest of them are located in the suburbs. Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports are the most recognizable, whereas Beauvais-Tille and Chalons Vatry airports are located outside Paris and lesser known.
Flights from Paris to Nice may leave from any of the four major airports that serve Paris. Of these, Orly Airport has been historically associated with Paris, whereas in more contemporary times, Charles de Gaulle has replaced Orly as the most famous Parisian airport.
To fly from Paris to Nice, confirm from which airport your plane is departing. If your flight is taking off from Orly Airport, get on an RER B train at Antony station. To reach Charles de Gaulle Airport, also known as Roissy Airport, take the RER B Regional-Express train or an easyBus from Central Paris. To reach Chalons Vatry and Beauvais-Tille airports, take a train or shuttle from central Paris. Make sure that you leave in time as these two airports are far away from downtown Paris. Taxis and limousines are available to all the airports, but such services tend to be very expensive in France.
Nice is the fifth largest city in France and is famous for its beautiful boulevards, beaches and parties. The city is also an architectural treasure where you can experience a typical Mediterranean lifestyle in an international setting. Begin your day at Place Massena, the most important public square in Nice. Visit the many churches and museums that dot the city, and head toward Cours Saleya where you can try local cuisine. Place Rossetti is where most live music performances and parties take place, and this is where you should be going to experience youth culture. End your trip at Promenade des Anglais, an oceanfront boulevard that is synonymous with Nice.
