Suggestion: Visit Nice – The Pearl of the French Riviera

The elegant city of Nice is set against an impressive backdrop of soaring hills and the infamous blue waters of the French Riviera. The “Place Rossetti” is at the city’s heart, surrounded by brightly colored buildings, the cathedral, and a large fountain lending the square a unique flavor. Nice is a city for all seasons.

The Cours Saleya is the main street in the old town and hosts a daily flower and vegetable market (except Mondays). You can find top-notch seasonal produce here, and there is a good selection of other local souvenirs if you’re eyeing some Marseille soap or lavender to take home with you.

Spend some time by the beautiful harbor, where the sun shines from the west in the evening. It’s a popular restaurant area if you’re looking for a special dinner by the water.

From the harbor, you can climb to the Colline du Château for great views of the city. Despite the name, there is no longer a castle on the hill, as it was destroyed in 1706. Now there is a beautiful park with views of the beach stretching along the Baie des Anges (“Angel Bay”).

The beach might be Nice’s most famous attraction. The famous “Promenade des Anglais” boardwalk follows the Mediterranean seafront for 3 miles (5 kilometers). It was built in the early 19th century when the English upper class began coming to the French Riviera to spend their winters in a mild climate. This gave the boardwalk its name, which translates to the “Walkway of the English.”

Day 3: Nice

Full-Day Private Tour of Nice Wines with a Licensed Driver-Guide

Your private driver-guide will pick you from your accommodation for a full-day tour in a Mercedes Class V.

Almost unknown outside the Nice, the wines of Bellet and of Saint-Jeannet are the heirs of thousands of years of history. Today it’s a story of men and of passion on a unique “terroir,” far from the main roads. Two wineries, two philosophies, two different stories, and one obsession: the wine!

This is a tour for amateurs wanting to discover rare wines.

Highlights may include: the Château de Bellet Winery or Domaine de la Source, and Domaine des Hauteurs Collines Winery, Bellet Hill (wine country), and/or Saint-Jeannet
