Nice's Top Five

Hit the Beach!

Soak up the sun, go for a swim, or just sit and gaze at the beautiful blue of the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll see why so many artists (Picasso, Dufy, Matisse, Renoir, Chagall) found inspiration here.

Appreciate the Art

Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse, two iconic 20th-century artists, both have museums dedicated to their works here.

Climb Castle Hill

Take an easy hike up Castle Hill for stunning views of the majestic coastline and the port. Pack a picnic or enjoy a sandwich and a perfect cappuccino at the charming café.

Enjoy Socca

Try this savory pancake made of chick peas in Cours Saleya, a market in the heart of the Old Town, amidst stands of colorful fresh flowers and produce.

Cycle the Cote D'Azur

Rent a Vélo Bleu (Blue Bike) and pedal down on the promenade to the adjoining fishing village of Villefranche-Sur-Mer, one of the most beautiful places on the French Riviera.

$6+ Million in Scholarships & Aid

We firmly believe that financial limitations should not prevent a qualified student from participating in an IES Abroad Program. This is why we commit more than $6 million to our scholarship and aid programs.

The Best Study Spots in Nice

Post by Taylor Quinn

While studying abroad provides so many opportunities to travel and experience new cultures, there is still studying to do. Especially around midterms and finals, you'll find me holed up with my notes and a coffee. However, France doesn't have quite the same "work in a coffee shop" culture as the U.S. In France, and especially in Southern France, cafés are meant to enjoy your coffee and take time away from work.

Loneliness While Abroad

Post by Taylor Quinn

Moving across the world by yourself is no easy feat. In fact, it takes a lot of courage (and in my case cabin fever). I craved newness after the monotony of the pandemic, and some semblance of normalcy is all I wanted. I already experienced leaving home once before when I moved to North Carolina for college. I dealt with homesickness during my freshman year of college, and developed some tools to manage it.

Independent Research: The Best and Most Challenging Endeavor

Post by Taylor Quinn

Conducting research abroad was one of the most rewarding experiences I had during my semester in Nice. I signed up for a Field Research Seminar course thinking it would help me with my degree, but in actuality the course taught me so much about structuring a professional research paper and time management.

Budget Friendly Travel Tips

Post by Taylor Quinn

Studying abroad can be a huge financial undertaking, and European cities aren't always cheap. I definitely found myself worrying after realizing how much money I spent in just my first few weeks in France. So, when I started traveling to other cities and countries, I made a serious effort to be cost-conscious. After many trials-and-errors, here are my best tips for traveling on a budget!

1. Utilize Google Flights with their map feature

Staying Active in a New Environment

Post by Taylor Quinn

Prior to living in Nice, I loved going to the gym and having a consistent workout routine. I'm a certified personal trainer, so fitness is integrated into my lifestyle. Even if I wasn't working out myself, I was always in the gym training a client of mine.  Acclimating to French culture was a difficult adjustment for me.
