Nice's popularity, we are assured, has nothing to do with easyJet founder Stelios wanting quick access to his Monaco Villa. Several other no-frills airlines have followed easyJet's lead, although more recently some airlines have cancelled routes, citing the airport's high charges as a major concern.
Despite opening a second terminal, the French Riviera gateway is ever popular with domestic and international tourists. Nice is the busiest airport in France outside Paris.
After shunning Nice for a long while, Ryanair currently operate flights from Dublin to the French Riviera hub, and they additionally operate flights to Toulon from London Stansted.
Another alternative airport if you don't mind the additional driving is Marseille, although after a strong initial promise, its budget terminal has failed deliver more than a handful of routes from the UK.
If you are unable to find convenient direct flights to Nice, frequent connections are available via Paris Charles de Gaulle, or through other hub airports like Amsterdam.

Halfway between Monaco and Cannes, with the Alps on one side and Corsica just off-shore on the other, it’s a pleasant, perennially sunny mix of hills, mountains and beaches, offering something very much for everyone.
The fifth largest city in France, it’s second only to Paris in terms of tourism, airport traffic, and the number of museums and galleries on offer to travellers. Most come to Nice for the climate; a good balance of public and private beaches provides plentiful opportunity for sand, sea and surf.
But the city itself makes for a fascinating stroll, from the Promenade des Anglais on the sea front to the nooks and crannies of Old Town. And there’s the impressive sight of the Bay of Angels lit up after dark.
Certainly, the best time to visit Nice is in the first six months of the year, as spring heats up into summer. February sees the annual carnival to celebrate Mardi Gras, March the Nice Boat Show, and May the local Fete des Mai, along with the glitzy film festival in nearby Cannes. There are, however, plenty of reasons to visit Nice whatever the weather. Shoppers will appreciate the ultra-chic Rue Paradis, the boutiques and workshops of Old Town, and the jewellery specialists of the Avenue de Verdun. Students of art, architecture and design are also well catered for.
The Asian Arts Museum boasts cool, minimalist style both inside and out. The striking settings of the Museum of Art and History and the Museum of Contemporary and Modern Art contrast with the decidedly Mediterranean Matisse Museum, a villa set in the middle of an olive grove.
There really are some superb opportunities for driving around Nice, but beware that car hire 
in France is usually much more expensive than in neighbouring Spain!

I really love just chilling out there on a Sunday afternoon, watching the planes come in and go out, as the cruise ships slowly glide past in the distance.
