CLIMATE
Located in southern Europe at the southeastern extremity of France, Nice is a privileged
crossroads between the Alps, Provence, Corsica and Italy. The city occupies an exceptional
natural site in the heart of the French Riviera. It stretches over a coastal plain open southward onto the Mediterranean and bounded from East to West by a succession of wooded
hills. In the background rise the first peaks of the Alpine foothills, some reaching over 9000
ft above sea level, only 31 miles from the coast as the crow flies...

Nice enjoys an exceptional microclimate
that has contributed to its renown for
some two centuries. Open onto the sea,
the city is protected from the winds by its
hills, then, to the west, by the Estérel
mountains and to the northwest by the
barrier of the Mercantour Alps. The climate is always mild in winter and never too
hot in summer, thanks to the sea breeze.
You can often lunch on a terrace with no
more than a T-shirt in February, when the
rest of France is shivering in the cold.

Nice is a vast garden open onto the sea, where tropical species introduced in the 19th century mix with Mediterranean trees. 300 hectares
of parks and gardens and many private gardens blend marvellously into the urban landscape. It should come as no surprise that Nice is
one of the most verdant cities in France, brimming with flowers...

gardens, with many species of palm trees and
very old rose plants; it runs from the sea front to
Place Masséna. Arches of vegetation surround
vast lawns with ponds and waterworks.
Bandstand (free concerts); theatre in the green.
Espace Masséna opens a broad perspective on
the old town and hills. It is made up of a central
basin of 1,500 m2 with spectacular waterworks
and flower-covered pergolas.
The succession of these three gardens forms a
strip of greenery more than 1.5 m long in the
heart of the city.

GOURMET TOURS
NIÇOIS COOKING WORKSHOPS
The cuisine of Nice has become a genuine art of living. Often compared to the cuisines of
Provence and Italy, La Cuisine Niçoise (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) is inspired from
the colours and flavours of the Mediterranean and is based on local products. Olive oil in
particular is used in all preparations along with such herbs as sweet basil, garlic, thyme,
savory...
UDOTSI (Union Départementale des Offices du Tourisme et Syndicats d’Initiative des
Alpes-Maritimes) created a brand, ‘Cuisine Nissarde, le respect de la tradition’, in order to
highlight the authentic quality and flavour of genuine Niçois cooking. Restaurants
displaying the label agree to offer at all times at least three local specialities (guide of restaurants available on request).
Although the Riviera boasts the highest density of 3-star restaurants in France, the local
cuisine of Nice is available for all budgets, in a sophisticated luxury setting or in the colourful little street of Old Nice.

From the farms in the hills of Nice to the perfumeries around Grasse, many regional enterprises welcome individual visitors and groups

WINES OF BELLET
It is impossible to talk of the gastronomy
of Nice without mentioning wine.
Appreciated by true connoisseurs, the
wines of Bellet are quite remarkable, and
their reputation has long since crossed
international borders. Nice is the only
major city to have its own AOC vintage
(Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée since
1941), which is also the world’s oldest
vineyard: the wines of Bellet, red, white
and rosé, with an annual production of
some 50,000 bottles. Attractive tours provide an opportunity to discover the local
vineyards and traditional winemaking
techniques.
