Bed and breakfast in Nice

Culinary specialities of the Nice region

You won't be disappointed with the traditional cuisine of the Côte d'Azur capital. Pan Bagna is one of the quickest specialities to prepare, and it's very common in the baskets of holidaymakers picnicking on the beach. You'll love this delicious sandwich filled with tuna, raw vegetables and seasoned with olive oil. In summer, it's great to cool down with the ingredients that make up the salade niçoise. These include tomatoes, boiled eggs, cucumbers, tuna, artichokes and olives harvested in the region. Southerners love ratatouille to keep their figure while savouring subtle flavours. It goes perfectly with grilled red mullet and can be eaten hot, warm or cold. It would be sacrilege to visit Nice without tasting the wines of Bellet. These include rosés with unusual aromas of broom and violets. Don't hesitate to try a slice of pissaladière in Vieux-Nice. This tart, made with a bed of onions and anchovy cream, is a delight for young and old alike as a starter. To round off your lunch in style, there's nothing better than a real ice cream prepared by an artisan ice-cream maker. Gelataria Azzurro and Arlequin Gelati are the two brands that are a big hit with tourists.

The heritage of Old Nice and activities on the coast

First of all, we invite you to visit the beautiful squares in the city centre, such as Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Rosseti. The most famous is undoubtedly Place Massena, which hosts various cultural events every year and was the nerve centre of Nice in the past. Listed as a historic monument, the Cathedral of Saint-Réparate will amaze you with its superb chapels, as will the Basilica of Notre-Dame, highlighted by its evening illuminations. During the summer months, it's well worth putting your towel down on one of the local beaches. The Voilier beach is ideal if you're visiting the Côte d'Azur capital with children. The Plage Saint-Hélène guarantees peace and relaxation in front of the Radisson hotel. Holidays are also synonymous with water activities on the Riviera. Your bed and breakfast in Nice is bound to be close to one of the many water sports clubs. These establishments organise kayak and stand-up paddle outings, and several organise diving baptisms.

Must-see sights around Nice

Several exceptional sites surround the Côte d'Azur capital, Vallauris Golfe-Juan comes to mind. You'll love its restful setting and can discover its artists' galleries and potters' workshops. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where travellers love to take the footpaths along the cape. Its harbour and the Baroque chapel of Sainte-Hospice are also part of its charm. The Espace Marineland d'Antibes is also very attractive to the west of Nice, with its dolphinarium and marine zoological park.

Finally, access to the Grottes de Saint-Cézaire offers an unforgettable experience. The stalactites and star-like concretions offer visitors a fascinating spectacle.
