Here is a selection of the most stunning places in the Alpes-Maritimes just for you
Between Sea and Mountains...
Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, is an unmissable destination for those seeking a unique blend of culture, stunning landscapes, and the French art of living. Nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this city enjoys an idyllic and sunny setting almost year-round.
The Old Town of Nice (Vieux-Nice), with its narrow streets, colorful facades, and bustling markets like the Cours Saleya, is the vibrant heart of the city. Visitors can sample local delights such as socca, a chickpea-based specialty, or regional olives.
The Promenade des Anglais, a symbol of Nice, stretches along the seaside, inviting leisurely strolls between pebbled beaches and swaying palm trees, with stunning views over the Baie des Anges. It’s an ideal spot for romantic walks, cycling, or simply admiring the sunset.
For art and culture lovers, Nice is a treasure trove. The Matisse Museum and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC) house significant works from these artistic movements. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Castle of Nice ruins, which offer panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean.
La Tête Carrée - Square Head
Designed by artist Sacha Sosno, this is one of the most iconic and unique contemporary artworks in Nice. Both massive and captivating, it never fails to catch the eye of passersby.
Standing 30 meters high and 14 meters wide, this monumental sculpture was gifted to the city by its creator. With its bold and resolutely modern design, it has become a true symbol of the Côte d’Azur.
Inaugurated in 2002, the Tête Carrée is not open to the public, but it houses the administrative offices — spread across seven floors — of the Louis Nucéra Library.
The surrounding hills, such as Cimiez, are home to Roman ruins and peaceful gardens, providing a serene escape. The city’s baroque churches, including the Sainte-Réparate Cathedral, and its Italian-influenced architecture reflect its rich heritage.
The Nice Carnival
The Nice Carnival is one of the most famous and oldest carnivals in the world, dating back to the 13th century. It takes place every year in February, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Each edition revolves around a different theme, often inspired by current events or popular culture.
The “Carnival King” is a central figure: a massive float representing him opens and closes the festivities.
The “flower battles” — parades of flower-decorated floats — are one of the highlights of the carnival. Participants throw thousands of flowers to the crowd from the floats.
The floats, often satirical, are adorned with papier-mâché sculptures created by local artists. Numerous music groups, dancers, and street performers bring the streets of Nice to life during the celebration.
The entire city is decorated with lights, confetti, and festive ornaments during the two weeks of festivities. The Nice Carnival is a colorful, family-friendly, and beloved event, deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of Nice.
