Nice, France was named one of the best cities in the world for hot chocolate by Time Out Magazine—so Brent heads to the French Riviera to see if the hype is real. Along the way, he samples milky, frothy hot chocolate, tries a beer made from chickpeas (yes, really), and sips a powerful anise liqueur inside a cave. Add in square-headed statues, jaw-dropping views, and one of the most beautiful promenades on Earth, and this Nice adventure delivers surprises at every turn.
