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).
Menton
A few kilometers from Monaco, Menton, a city on the border with Italy, is a city where nature and culture are harmoniously combined. With the renowned label of "City of Art and History", the city of lemons is one of the most beautiful cities on the French Riviera. Its natural and historical heritage, its gardens set above the sea and bathed in sunlight, offer an exceptional site, a unique landscape to discover.
Villefranche-sur-mer
A maritime town on a privileged site, Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the main ports on the Côte d’Azur, a major stopover for cruise ships. It picturesque little fishing port is also home to a flotilla of yachts and pointus (traditional fishing boats). With the majestic curve of its shoreline, its 16th-century Citadel and colourful façades, Villefranche-sur-Mer also became a favourite venue for painters and artists.
