The name might sound a bit intimidating but Bains Militaires is actually quite a nice quiet beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Nice centre.

This public beach sits at the western end of the Promenade des Anglais and is situated near the Lenval hospital.

This delightful public park in the city centre runs from Place Massena, linking the Promenade des Anglais to the old town of Vieux Nice.

Nice’s flagship urban park covers 12 hectares in the heart of the city, just a few minutes walk from Promenade des Anglais. Promenade du Paillon used to be a very congested and rather ugly thoroughfare where the old bus station and multi storey car park were situated. It was demolished in 2011 and a 3 year development project took place to turn it into the oasis of green open space, safe play areas and impressive water features that we enjoy today.

Sitting on a beautiful rocky peninsula of pine trees and palms just to the east of Nice is Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. This area is the epitome of elegance and old Riviera glamour: from the small, chic harbour to the palatial gated villas and magnificent gardens of celebrities, oligarchs and famous family dynasties.

Beaulieu-sur-Mer is filled with Belle Époque buildings, cafés and restaurants.

Just the other side of the airport to Nice, Saint-Laurent-du-Var has been brought bang up to date in recent years.
