I visited Nice, France recently, it’s breathtaking! The architecture, the little towns are absolutely stunning. The beaches are plentiful, blue & clean. The weather was very hot & sunny. There are buses, trams & trains , which make it comfortable to travel in the heat ! I loved my holiday in Nice 😍
I lived in nice as a musician with a french girl had the time of my life! Know it like the back of my hand It’s more developed now I was the in 1992 The little clubs cafe’s food restaurant’s the street entertainment of which I was part of such a wonderful time! Started with £750 came back to the uk with £0.10 pence and you could not by a Holliday like it! Thanks it brought back a lot of good memories
Flying to Nice on Sunday with my mom. This is our first time in Europe (I’ve been to Iceland, but that’s it). Your videos have been so helpful! We’re staying in Old Town and have plans to see Eze, Menton and Gorges of Verdon, as well as a day of exploring Nice. Definitely looking forward to it.
Wow! The most comprehensive overview of Nice. I am thoroughly enjoying your informative videos, with names of restaurants, prices, and so much more. Thank you!
We try our best to share our favourite spots with you. Is there anything in particular what you like to see? We are really happy to read that you find our videos helpful and entertaining 🤩
@@rivierago i lived in Provence for 8 years and i visited many places on the coast. With your channel i discovered new places to try during my vacation there this year.Would be nice you to expand to Marseille area and all the Provence. I was also in Camargue. I loved it . Gorges du Verdon. Etc . I am curious what places you will discover that i dont know about.
We hope that you will enjoy your stay at the French Riviera. Be prepared that it can get really crowded in summer. The season already started and places like Eze are already packed and parking gets really difficult. We recommend for those places either to arrive rather early or by the end of the day.
@@fg9223 we’ll definitely do more of Provence as well as Marseille, Aix etc, but probably only in the fall or maybe for next summer… so much left on the Côte d’Azur for now… 😅
Hello there, just wanted to say that you have a new subscriber!!! You are doing such a good job, really appreciate you and your work...binge watching now... Excited because we are travelling to Nice in June and I'am so happy to have chanced upon your channel...keep it up and wishing you the best!
🙏 thank you so much for your encouraging words! So happy we can help and you enjoy watching 😄. We’ll soon start showing more “warm weather stuff” like our favourite beaches etc.
@@rivierago It's a wonderful video, incredibly instructive. I will be in Nice between May 31 and June 4th. Looking forward to visiting all the places you recommended. I am forever grateful.
PS: there’s a tiny BUT, or 2 actually: the weather in May is not as stable as it becomes over the summer. It should be just perfect, not too hot, not too cold, but it can also rain occasionally and be cloudy for a few days. And 2: since there’s the film festival in Cannes and the formula 1 race in Monaco, ticket prices for the plane and hotel prices might go up in those places. It’s wise to book as early as possible. 😇
Hey, thanks. No, there are no such tickets as far as we know. But single trips aren’t very expensive… 2,10 € one way by bus (5,90 € by train which is faster). For the bus, there are tickets for 10 trips (can be used by several people) for 14,70 € (-30%). zou.maregionsud.fr/en/new-2023-rates/
Hi again, we were just discussing bus tickets with our kids (who actually use the bus a lot more), and they told us a one way trip on ZOU buses is 2,50 now. Their website needs an update 🤪🫣
Very nice videos - thank you. I will be visiting in two weeks and have a question: I am allergic to tobacco smoke - is smoking still prevalent, as it was when I last visited France 40 years ago? Are restaurants in France non-smoking as they are throughout the United States? A selfish person lighting up a cigarette at the table next to me would ruin my meal. If smoking is allowed in sections of restaurants, would I ask “Une table dans une section pas de fumer, s’il vous plait. Je suis allergique au fume du tabac.”? Or ask something else? And please do not hesitate to correct my French, which I haven’t studied since 1987. Thank you.
Hi, smoking has been banned in French restaurants and public buildings for many years now, so you’ll be a lot less bothered. People will be smoking on the terraces outside of the restaurants, though, which is where most people sit in the summer. There is less smoking going on than 40 years ago, but of course, there still is… As for your French, it’s really good, they will understand! We’d probably say « …dans un espace non-fumeur… » (but our French is far from perfect, too 😉)
Excellent - thank you for the response! Do you know if the situation is the same in Italian restaurants? We are visiting the Cinque Terre for a few days after the French Riviera. One last question: do you have any advice for a good vegetarian dining experience in Nice and Menton? My teenage daughter is a vegetarian, and I recall one of your videos recommending to read the entire menu to find the one or two vegetarian dishes the restaurant may offer. Are there any specific restaurants in Nice or Menton that you would recommend? Thank you!
@@WisGuy4 hi again, yes, the same no -smoking rules apply in Italy! We haven’t been to a proper vegetarian place in Nice or Menton, not sure there is one - but yes, there should be at least some sort of salad without meat (salade nicoise: ask to have it served without the tuna and anchovies) on the menu, maybe also a vegetable wok or something like that. (Not a whole lot, unfortunately). And if there’s nothing tempting on the menu, ask the waiter nicely 😉. They might agree to put something together specifically for your daughter. Being a vegetarian myself, I must say options could be better… but she won’t starve (this is Aila replying). PS: I think, vegans are really lost around here - happy to read comments from vegans about their experience on the French Riviera!
Hi Sammy, thanks a lot for your nice words! Yes, there are buses and trains, the train goes mostly along the coast, so it easily links Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monaco (continuing to Ventimiglia in Italy). Twice an hour, I think. And there are lots of buses that take you almost everywhere. Check out this app for mobile phone: Moovit (region set to “Nice Côte d’Azur). It tells you exactly how you get from A to B 😊
@Riviera Go! @Riviera Go! Thank you for your helpful tip about the Moovit app! Your videos are valuable for trip planning :). Would love to see content on lavender fields in Provence. If we have only 6-8 hours in Marseille, would you recommend a day trip to Valensole to see the lavender fields in late June? I would also like to see the Callenques and Aix en Provence (too much to see in my bucket list, haha). Thanks again! Merci ;)
@@sammychem5920 we think the Calanques are the most spectacular among the places you mention. Lavender fields are great, too, no doubt, but end of June might be early… (though we haven’t been there a lot since a it’s a bit of a drive from the Côte d’Azur/Riviera, so please Check back). Marseille is worth at least 4 hours, you need to climb on the rooftop of Mucem museum. And maybe take the little train that takes you up to the church overlooking the port area and gives you a quick overview of the city. Aix is beautiful. Hang out in cafés, stroll through the old town, see the many fountains, some gardens. Really, whatever you decide you can’t go wrong. 😅
@@rivierago there are only so many times you want to visit a museum and lets be honest, every blogger is showing the same stuff. I was joking about the beer, I drink tequila 💃🕺
Nice has actually become a pretty safe place over the past years. Of course, where there are many tourists crammed in a place, there are always some trying to steal a wallet or a mobile. You shouldn’t put your precious jewellery or Rolex on display either. But there’s seriously no need to feel insecure in Nice. There are cameras everywhere (like it or not), and they really do help.

How cold is it in Nice in October?
20 degrees during the day if the sun shines (it mostly does), but it gets chilly at night!

We wanr to visit Anantarq Plaza rooftop for a coffe. But we have a baby and stroller. Is it ok ? Are kids allowed?
We’re sure it’s ok! There’s an elevator, and the French generally are very welcoming to kids!
@@rivierago thank you!

Does France commonly accept Apple Pay or contactless pay?
Yes, they do - even at bakeries for a baguette… sometimes there’s a minimum of 4€ or so, but that’s the exception
👍
How do you pay for the tourist train?
There’s a booth to buy tickets at the departure of the train (Promenade des Anglais, in front of Jardin Albert Ier)
You can pay cash or by credit card
👏♥️👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🌲

Pickpockets.... Insecurity....
Nice has actually become a pretty safe place over the past years. Of course, where there are many tourists crammed in a place, there are always some trying to steal a wallet or a mobile. You shouldn’t put your precious jewellery or Rolex on display either. But there’s seriously no need to feel insecure in Nice. There are cameras everywhere (like it or not), and they really do help.
@@rivierago I live in Nice.... Camera do not help. Insecurity is high. Walking by nigjt is dangerous. And many trafics like drugs.
@@David-ij5hn sorry to read that, we don’t have the same impression, honestly.
