By Susan Sherren for Couture Trips Published 7/3/21 1:45 PM CST How to Get There Traveling to Nice, France, is quite convenient. The Nice Airport, officially known as Côte d’Azur Airport, is the main gateway to Nice and the French Riviera or regionally known as the Côte d’Azur in France and the Principality of Monaco. The airport is just a short distance from the city itself- 4 miles southwest of the town. Ground transportation is easy to access, and helicopter service is available to nearby Monaco. The airport handled over 18 million travellers in 2018. The Nice Train Station (Gare de Nice-Ville) is another option to access the Cote d’ Azur. Train service is quite plentifully from many French cities. The station is quite near the town centre. It was initially built away from the city centre; however, the modern city has populated around the station, making it part of the town centre. The station building can be found in its original condition. Richly decorated balconies and a grand clock are worth taking note of while your in this impressive train station. Accommodations Nice has a multitude of accommodations, from luxury villas to 5-star hotels. You’ll likely want a view of the Med, so plan accordingly. We recommend the following regional luxury properties: Hotel Le Negresco, Chateau St. Martin and Spa, Hotel La Perouse, Hotel Royal Riviera, La Palais de la Mediterranee, Grand Hotel Du Cap- Ferrat, Cap Estel Hotel, Boscolo Exedra Nice, Chateau De La Chèvre d’Or and Chateau Eza.  Mediterranean Sea along the Promenade de Anglais- Nice, France What to See and Do There is plenty of sightseeing in the area, let’s put it this way you can be as busy as you want to be. We will share with you our top sites to put on your to do list- Musee Matisse, Palais Lascaris, Musee d’ Art Contemporain, Cathedrale-Ste-Reparate, Musee Chagall, Cathedrale Orthodoxe Russe St Nicholas, Musee des Arts Asiatiques. Make sure to plan a stop at the historic Hotel Negresco for a drink, lunch or dinner. The biggest attraction is the most obvious one, the Promenade des Anglais, just take a seat in the blue seaside chairs of the Promenade and take in the azure skies and turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea. You can take a walk along this walkway from the airport on the west to the Quai des Etats-Unis on the east, roughly a 4-mile journey. If you planning to spend a day on the Med then you will want a reservation at Plage Beau Rivage Nice a private beach club along Nice’s Promenade de Anglais. Re̒gence Plage by Radisson Blu Nice is another beach club option. Take note- the the beach along Nice is a stony one, so pack some beach appropriate footwear.
