Matisse Museum
Quote: The Matisse Museum is in an area called Cimiez. This is where the rich people live in fantastic buildings and this is also where you find the old Roman Ruins. In fact, the museum is on the same grounds as the Ruins so you have several reasons to go... Read the full Musee Matisse de Nice review
