May in Nice, France
• Travel Highlights: With warm weather and bright sunshine in May, Nice is an ideal destination for a beach vacation. You can soak up the sun and swim on Nice’s beaches, or explore the old town to experience the city’s unique charm.
• Fashion Focus: Discover stylish outfits perfect for beach getaways, such as bikinis, sundresses, and sun-protective clothing. Pair them with sunglasses and sandals to embrace the chic Riviera vibe.

Extended Highlights:

• Beach Bliss: Relax on the pebbled shores of Baie des Anges, rent a sun lounger, or try water sports like kayaking and windsurfing. Take an evening stroll along the Promenade des Anglais to watch the sunset paint the sea in hues of red.

• Old Town Wanderings: Lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Vieux Nice. Visit Marché aux Fleurs Cours Saleya for fresh produce and lavender sachets, admire the baroque architecture of Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate, and savor socca (chickpea flatbread) at an outdoor café in the old town square.

French Riviera Style Guide:

• Key Pieces:

◦ Bikinis: Opt for minimalist solid colors or French floral prints (brands like Seafolly or Eres). Layer with a lightweight linen cover-up.

◦ Sundresses: A floor-length linen maxi dress (think Zimmermann’s bohemian styles) paired with a woven straw belt for texture.

◦ Sun Jackets: A cropped, lightweight trench coat in white or beige—versatile enough to wear over a bikini from the beach to a café.

• Statement Accessories:

Sunglasses: Oversized round or cat-eye frames (classic styles from Céline or Saint Laurent), paired with a wide-brimmed straw hat (Le Chapeau de Paille de Saint-Tropez).

◦ Sandals: Strappy leather sandals (Chloé’s woven designs) or metallic slip-ons for effortless beach-to-street style.

✨May Exclusive Experiences:
