The jewel in the crown of La Réserve de Beaulieu hotel is this gastronomic restaurant which has one Michelin star.

In a Regency-style dining room decorated with magnificent 18th century woodwork, Jean-Denis Rieubland proposes two menus, "Découverte" and "Chantecler".

This family restaurant has been a firm favourite for a long time for its good but simple Provençal cuisine and rustic atmosphere.

Located a few minutes from Old Nice, the Corniche Fleurie, the Airport and Central Business of Arenas, Le Mesclun, welcomes you in a modern room with a pleasant view of the Promenade des Anglais and the Mediterranean Sea.

From March until the end of October the restaurant proposes refined Mediterranean cooking, with Niçois dishes like the pissaladière (onion pizza) and also delicious Asian dishes, from Thai to Chinese and Japanese favourites, as well as some Italian delicacies.

Modern French food with a touch of South African heritage. From childhood Jan used to spend most of his time in the garden and kitchen and has replaced this with the markets of France. With his new restaurant in the old Port of Nice he is not only out to set the trends but to combine local with a stylish and attentive atmosphere.

It is this eclectic and cosmopolitan atmosphere which makes it a place very "French Riviera".

This long stretch of pebble beach in Nice runs along the Baie des Anges and is backed by the Promenade des Anglais. 

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.

The glamorously named Coco Beach is more of a launchpad into the deep blue sea than a true beach.

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

Plage de la Darse is a secret beach, hidden from view and discretely signposted. It never gets very busy because so few people know that it’s there - so keep it on the down-low if you plan to head here.

Plage de Carras is a well-equipped “handiplage”, which has facilities and lifeguards to enable people with disabilities to enter the water safely.

This delightful public park in the city centre runs from Place Massena, linking the Promenade des Anglais to the old town of Vieux Nice. Developed during the late 1800’s, Jardin Albert 1er is one of Nice’s oldest public gardens; a large lawn in the centre is surrounded by palm trees, fragrant roses, carob trees, junipers as well as various plants from Japan, China, the Americas, Australia and the Himalayas.

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.

This palace is thought to have been built in the early 17th century and was home to the Dukes of Savoy until 1860.

Cap de Nice and Mont Boron is a peaceful exclusive area to the east of Nice and is a mix of affluent residential properties and a national park.

Just to the east of Nice lies the coastal town of Villefranche-sur-Mer; with its little cobblestone lanes and 16th century citadel.

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.
