Nizza è Natale
Nizza's Christmas programme — lights, chalets, concerts, shows and children's activities — running the historic centre from early December to Epiphany.
Why it's special
The highlight is Santa Claus's 'spectacular descent' from the Campanon bell tower with the fire brigade, alongside benefit concerts, a treasure hunt, and his Christmas-Eve arrival by Vespa in Piazza Martiri di Alessandria.
