More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned minivan onto sun-warmed stone in Nice, the Mediterranean a blue ribbon daring you to look further. The morning light sketches the Promenade des Anglais and the city’s layered history—Greek origins, Genoese walls, Savoyard trade—before the road climbs the corniche toward Èze. In Èze, a medieval village perches above the sea; narrow alleys and a small exotic garden frame panoramic views that make the cliff feel alive with wind and salt.
