Nice, France: The UN’s cultural organisation said on Tuesday that it had added Nice to its world heritage list thanks to the French Mediterranean city’s centuries-old role as winter residence for mostly wealthy foreigners.
Following the decision by its World Heritage Committee, Unesco in a statement on Twitter called Nice, famous for its mild climate, the "Winter resort town of the Riviera". The city joins France’s more than 40 world heritage sites including the banks of the river Seine in Paris, the Amiens cathedral, the Mont Saint Michel and stretches of the Loire valley.
Their cultural influences and "desire to make the most of the climatic conditions and scenery of the place, shaped the urban planning and eclectic architectural styles of those areas", it said.
