5 good reasons to go to Nice

1 / To discover the Promenade des Anglais

There’s nothing like a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais to appreciate the beauty of the city. From the tip of Raba Capeou to Nice airport, the Promenade stretches over 7 kilometers, flanked by beaches on one side and the most beautiful hotels and palaces in the region, such as the iconic Negresco, on the other.

2 / To taste the culinary specialties

Pissaladière, salade niçoise, ravioli, pan bagnats, gnocchi, daube, stockfish, ratatouille, farcis niçois, Swiss chard pie… These delicious dishes contribute to Nice’s reputation beyond the borders of France. To make sure you don’t miss out, I invite you to step into one of the 17 restaurants labeled Cuisine Nissarde!

3 / To shop at the Cours Saleya market

Perhaps a cliché, but the flower market at Cours Saleya is a must-see! You can buy all sorts of bouquets and other plants typical of the southeast, like bougainvillea. The flower market extends into a fruit, vegetable, and spice market where you can also find specialties from the south… and beautiful tomatoes!

4 / To get lost in the alleys of Old Nice

What would Nice be without its old town? A true labyrinth running between Cours Saleya, Place Rossetti, and Place du Palais de Justice, Old Nice is lively from early morning until late at night. We love getting lost there, discovering its small churches or chapels, or sitting down for a last drink.

5 / To feast your eyes in museums and art galleries

With more than 100 museums and 150 art galleries, the Alpes-Maritimes and Monaco boast an extremely wide range of museums, making the French Riviera a cultural destination in its own right. In Nice, don’t miss the Mamac, the Chagall Museum, the Matisse Museum, or the departmental Museum of Asian Arts, which offer breathtaking exhibitions all year round…
