Why It Feels Like Nice
Las Olas Boulevard mirrors Nice’s promenade with its palm‑lined boulevard, pastel Art‑Deco facades, and waterfront cafés spilling onto the Intracoastal. The Riverwalk’s pastel‑hued apartments and wrought‑iron railings evoke the Côte d’Azur’s seafront, while the historic Flagler Museum provides a European‑era grandeur. Sun‑soaked plazas and a thriving art scene give the city a Riviera‑like cadence, especially at twilight when the sky blushes over the Atlantic.
