Nice

Book a train ticket

In the south of France, the capital of the Côte d'Azur is contrasted between its old town with its narrow and colorful streets on one side and its luxurious Promenade des Anglais which runs along the sea on the other. Its micro-climate will ensure you sunshine almost all year round. So don't hesitate for a single second, go for it and taste the best olives and ratatouilles of your life!

In winter, stroll through Old Nice and shop under the arcades of Place Massena. Take advantage of the fall to admire the monuments and get lost in the vineyards of Bellet. In spring, therefore, rent an electric bike and set off to storm the hills of Nice. When the sun is at its maximum in midsummer, enjoy lazing around on the beach and why not take a boat trip?

Every noon, a cannon blasts through the city. Strange, isn't it? This habit comes from the 18th century when the English Colonel, Sir Thomas Coventry, was installed in Nice. At noon he fired a cannon to signal the end of his wife's morning stroll and get her home for lunch. Since 1885, a municipal decree has made it a real custom that the people of Nice adore!
