HIGHLIGHTS AROUND NICE
PORT DE NICE LYMPIA
The port of Nice was moved in the 18th century from the old town over the castle hill to its present location. Around the “new” harbor basin, Provencal restaurants and bistros were established, inviting travelers to linger. Whether by ferry or luxury yacht: Those who arrive in the port of Nice look forward to an aromatic café with a view of the gently swaying sailboats.
VIEILLE VILLE
Nice’s old town resembles an island that radiates its charm between the Promenade du Paillon and the castle hill. From the port you can reach the Vieille Ville directly along the beautifully landscaped quay. The colorful house facades with wooden shutters and flower pots on the window sills are a popular photo backdrop. Let yourself drift and enjoy the ambience.
LE PLONGEOIR
You will experience an unforgettable dinner at “Le Plongeoir”. Metre high above the azure sea on rock terraces you will learn to appreciate Mediterranean cuisine in a completely new way. Le Plongoir, or “springboard” in English, like Nice itself, has an exciting story to tell. Let yourself be surprised.
