"When moving to Nice, it is important to pack clothing that is suitable to the Mediterranean climate. Long-sleeved and lightweight clothing, as well as layers, should be chosen to help keep you warm in the cooler months, as well as cool and comfortable in the summer months. In addition, pack layers of thicker clothing, as well as light rain gear, to help protect against the occasional showers in Nice. You should also make sure to bring the necessary toiletries, medication, and other personal items you will need for your stay. Sunglasses, hats, umbrellas, and sunscreen are also important to protect yourself from the sun’s rays.
