Nice, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As the “winter resort city of the Riviera”, Nice’s inclusion on the UNESCO list is based on an urban ensemble covering 522 hectares. This includes the famous Promenade des Anglais, but also the bourgeois, tree-lined districts of Cimiez and Mont-Boron, the sublime villas and charming hotels scattered throughout the various districts, the vegetation that is both local and exotic, and the urban planning and architecture that have shaped the city over two and a half centuries of tourist activity.

A cultural heritage
The Nice Côte d’Azur metropolitan area boasts an exceptional cultural heritage. The light and beauty of the Nice Côte d’Azur region have inspired great artists such as Matisse and Chagall in Nice and Renoir in Cagnes-sur-Mer. Numerous museums boast prestigious collections!
There are also architectural “follies” in the form of châteaux and mansions from the Belle Époque, neo-classical facades and Baroque churches and chapels…
Stroll through the narrow streets of Old Nice to explore its history, architecture and colourful markets at your own pace… or set off to discover the hilltop villages and lose yourself in the narrow streets that will reveal a thousand secrets.

The Nice Carnival
The Nice Carnival is the No. 1 carnival in France and one of the three most famous in the world, alongside Rio and Venice.
Its international renown has made the Carnival one of the Côte d’Azur’s top winter events. Every winter, in February, for 2 weeks of festivities, the Carnival attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors! Come and admire the sumptuously decorated floats, the colourful costumes and the performances by troupes from France and Europe. The explosion of colour and lively music make this an unmissable event during your stay!

Gastronomy
Nice’s cuisine is above all simple and sunny and honours the products of the region. Olive oil is used in every dish, as are aromatic plants such as basil, garlic, thyme and rosemary. Discover our local cuisine in restaurants that have been awarded the “Cuisine Nissarde” label, guaranteeing that tradition is maintained: Socca, pissaladière, ravioli… will delight your taste buds. The wineries on the hills also produce excellent red, white and rosé wines: Taste the wines of Bellet (celebrating 80 years of existence!) and Saint-Jeannet, which offer some exceptional vintages.
