The mayor of Nice backtracked Friday on sharply limiting visits by large cruise ships to avoid overtourism in the French Riviera city.
Last month Christian Estrosi signed an order prohibiting cruise ships carrying more than 900 passengers from putting them ashore for sight-seeing excursions of the Mediterranean port city.
"Pleasure boating, yes, floating buildings, no," Estrosi said at the time.
The order would still have welcomed smaller ships, which generally offer much more luxurious cruises with a higher spending clientele.
