Estienne d'Orves Natural Park
Protected natural parkland featuring beautiful views of the city & the sea
The natural park of Estienne d'Orves sits on Saint-Phillipe hill and was opened to the public in 2008. Its 15 hectares are located on the old terrain of the Chateau Miramar, near the centre of Nice.
There is a path that will take you to all the corners of the park, which has more than 500 centenary olive trees, as well as oak and pine trees. There are also historic buildings in the park, such as the 1740 Sorguebelle Villa at the entrance, the Bellevue Villa, former mansion of the Estienne d'Orves count covered with trompe-l'oeil friezes, or the Vicina Villa, which was the count's painting studio.
From the top, there are wonderful views of the city and out across the Mediterranean over the Anges Bay. There is also a children's park. It's a great place to escape to for a walk, lunch with a view or a kick around.
