Presentation

Everything you need to know about Nice, the Cote d'Azur and the French Riviera.
Stay on our recently renovated apartment in the heart of Vieux Nice and enjoy the beauty of the area.
I came in the Nice area 12 years ago and felt in love with this little paradise. With my family we have been visiting most of the areas of the cote d'Azur, here are some ideas that can help you preparing your trip.

We love the Nice area and we want to share it with you. You will find here some useful information on what to do and where to go.

From the beaches of the riviera to the alpine highlands going through the medieval towns you will enjoy this paradise called Cote d'Azur.

If you need acomodation, don't hesitate to contact us.
Here is what we can offer to you: our apartment in the heart of Old Nice

If you just arrive at Nice here are some suggestions on what you can do by just walking around:

Markets:

Go and visit the vegetables market of "Cours Saleya" as well as the fish market which is an institution in Nice.

Nice Castle:

In the Nice hill there is a castle with some whaterfalls and a fantastic view of Nice old town (Vieux Nice) you can try to find where our apartment is located from there.

Food and drinks:

If you want an ice-cream head to the Rossetti square and stop by Fenocchio and their hundreds of flavours.

The specialities of the area includes the socca and the "farcis nicois" that you have to try, one of the most popular places is called "Phila Leva".

For having a drink "Les trois diables" at the Cours Saleya is one of the most popular places.

There are hundreds of restaurants in the Cours Saleya but they are mainly for tourists and they charge quite a bit expensive. The quality is good but the price is not that good.
Le Gesu restaurant is in a more calm area than the Cours Saleya and very close to our apartment .
