Nice

Cultural capital of the Côte d'Azur

The Queen of the Riviera

Nice is nicknamed the Queen of the Riviera. The biggest and best city in the South of France is bathed in sun. Bright light attracted artistic brilliance. Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall captured boulevards, boats and beautiful buildings. See them all by eBike, Segway or open-top car. The bottom line? Nice has more museums than any French city outside Paris. All of which are best seen by private guide.

Your Guide to Nice

The Bon Vivant Capital Of France

Nice was built on inestimable wealth. Italian counts, German princes and American moguls built rococo palazzi, Moorish castles and Normandy chateaux. Tsar Nicholas II sailed into Nice yacht harbour to open the largest Russian Cathedral in Western Europe. A direct train to Moscow (via the Italian Riviera and Austrain Alps) still runs today. Queen Victoria enjoyed Nice’s joie de vivre. Her son, Prince Bertie, preferred the casinos of Monte Carlo - a 15-minute RIB ride away.

Art & Sunshine

Brits built the Promenade des Anglais. Imagine a dawn-to-dusk seaside spectacular: beach bars, watermelon vendors, jugglers, lovers, bathers and couples dancing tango in the night. The waterside boulevard is action central. Join the fun on rollerblades, longboards, tandem trikes and hoverboards. Or head up to the Tour de France cycling route via racing bike. Your own Pinarello bike can be arranged with one call to your Y.CO Charter Specialist.

Eat. Shop. Enjoy.

Nice stops for lunch. And carries on eating until dinner. The city that gave the world salade Niçoise is a Michelin-starred melting pot. Try Le Negresco, where Dali ate while The Beatles drank. Or join top cooks at Libération Market for black truffles, green olives and Bouzigues oysters. Your yacht chef will be among the throng.
