A studio or apartment in Nice, at the Cote d'Azur : guarantee for a wonderful vacation

For a short stay, long holiday or stay during the winter months, the Cote d'Azur is ideal. The French Rivièra, and especially Nice, is the place to be. Renting an apartment or studio doesn't have to be expensive. In the early and late season renting prices between 400 and 1000 euro are possible.
The prices depend on location, size & luxury of the property.
That is even more important if you're thinking about buying a second (holiday) home. If you don't need a sea view, the purchase price is a lot lower. There are a lot of properties for sale so you have enough choice.
