Geographical influences

Nice weather in February is influenced by its location on the French Riviera on the southeast coast. The Mediterranean climate has cooled in the winter, but you can still enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the city during the off-season. Hills in the north of Nice provide the city with extra shelter and most days are clear and bright, which is great if you have a lot of outdoor activities planned for your visit.
