This cam really gives you the full picture — it's panoramic, so it's constantly moving and showing you new angles of the island paradise of St. John. The best angle? Probably the one overlooking the blue harbor surrounded by green hills and sprinkled with white sailboats.

Nice isn't just a city in France — it's also a place you can visit from your home thanks to the camera overlooking its Côte d'Azur coast.
