Sea or mountain? Why do you have to choose ? The unity of this space, unique in Europe, between the towns on the coast (Cagnes-sur-Mer, Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d'Ail, etc.) and the resorts ski area (Isola 2000, Auron, La Colmiane, Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage, etc.) via the perched villages of the middle country (Vence, Saint-Jeannet, Gattières, Gilette, Falicon, etc.), allows all types of stay (urban, active nature, events, cultural, seaside, mountain, etc.) for all visitor profiles (solo, couple, family, friends).
With its international airport 15 minutes from downtown Nice, its hotel park of nearly 300 hotels, its many museums, its architectural heritage, its climate, its coastline, its festivals, its sporting events and its art of living, Nice Côte d'Azur is the ideal destination that everyone agrees on… Everyone staying there is surprised to have so much to do there!

Nice
Known worldwide for its unique geographical location - between the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Alps – and its iconic lifestyle, Nice, capital of Côte d'Azur and 5th largest city in France with more than 340,000 inhabitants, welcomes more than 5 million visitors every year. This unique and prestigious host city - now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site - also has great ambitions for sports, thanks to its exceptional natural playground. This extraordinary environment, between the sea and the mountains, allows Nice to host some of the world's greatest outdoor events.
Auron
This former alpine village of the Haut Pays niçois, once the granary of Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée, is now a dynamic winter and summer resort, about 1h30 drive from Nice, in the heart of the Mercantour massif, near the national park of the same name.
The highest peak and closest to the resort is the summit of Las Donnas, culminating at 2,474 meters.
Roubion
Roubion’s five hamlets are scattered amid meadows and forest between 1,335 and 1,920m above sea level. The fortified village clings proudly to a cliff overlooking the valley from its ramparts. Its Mediaeval style, steep narrow streets and many old vaulted passageways lead to a breath-taking viewpoint. Located on the Route des Grandes Alpes, Roubion also has a small alpine ski resort (30km of ski runs).
Eze
Charming perched village located on the Parc de la Corniche, Eze stretches across rugged terrain, ranging from the edge of the Mediterranean Sea where a hamlet forms Èze-sur-Mer, to the steep peak where old picturesque and medieval houses form Èze-Village at 429 meters above sea level. The Col d'Eze, known for being crossed numerous times by the Tour de France, peaks at 507 meters above sea level. A village with irresistible charm and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
An outstanding Mediterranean gem between sky and sea, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is a coastal village with pastel nuances and refined architecture, revealing a peaceful beauty along its narrow streets. Welcoming beaches, terrace cafes, and coastal paths create an enchanting experience in the heart of the Mediterranean, where discreet charm meets refined luxury.
