    But I'm not sure whether to pronounce it Nice or Nice.

    I like them Athersley but don't dunk them for too long as they get soft very quickly.

    Only pronounced nice when in Nice. Think it’s because it’s nice in Nice.

    I’ve been to the cote d'azur with my sisters daughter, we had a French salad and biscuits for desert.
    DEEP BREATH
    It was a nice Niçoise salad with my Niece followed by some Nice biscuits in Nice.

    Hope this helps and you can sleep at night

    A Nice biscuit (pronounced /ˈniːs/, like the name of the French city)[1][2][3] is a plain or coconut-flavoured biscuit.

    I like nice biscuits but I don't like Nice biscuits because Nice biscuits aren't nice biscuits.
