We give you our good addresses to spend an unforgettable holiday in Nice.
The name of Nice is enough to evoke the south, the sweetness of life and the sun. Half-urban, half-Mediterranean, Nice is a city that enchants the heart of its visitors with its colorful streets full of history, fascinating museums and walks by the sea. This is where the Mediterranean is adorned with the most beautiful shades of turquoise to greet the beaches of rocks and pebbles that border the capital of the Côte d’Azur.
le restaurant Gina
Gina, of course, we already know her. She is more than a woman who breathes Italy, she is more than a place to live, she is a state of mind. Gina, it is the conviviality and shared generosity. Gina, it is a solar kitchen and a terrace dedicated to reunion. Gina is the new must-see brewery in the heart of Place Masséna.
Gina, it’s an explosion of joy! A Mediterranean cuisine that radiates. Avalanche of good products on the place Masséna! To start, delicious antipasti and primi piatti that we share with you: fresh salads, healthy starters, buonissimo fritto misto and other small plates. For the dishes, a thousand discoveries of the secret boot: jubilant carpaccio of red shrimp from Mazara del Vallo, generous pizzas and bruschettas… but also pasta fatta in casa, especially the essential pasta with lobster. At Gina’s, Chef Geraldine Rapp finds her products close to the source: she crosses the border to get what is good in Italy from our Italian cousins, and travels the coast of the Var to the Alpes-Maritimes to find the best that the Riviera has to offer.
Beach of the English - Riviera Nautic Sport
Located in the heart of Nice on the Promenade des Anglais, Riviera Nautic Sport is the reference for nautical activities. This nautical base offers a wide range of experiences: from parasailing with a unique view of the bay, to the towed buoy for intense moments at sea, through flyboard, a modern adventure above the sea. Classic and popular activities such as water skiing and wakeboarding are also offered, perfect for lovers of gliding on the water.
Let’s continue our trip with a little tour on the rooftops of Nice: The brand new rooftop, Bocca
In place of the institution Le Hussard, well-known by the Niçois, with its ideal location at the entrance of the Cours Saleya and close to the seafront, Bocca offers an atypical decor and plays the Mediterranean card with its magnificent rooftop fully vegetated. The decoration gives pride of place to raw materials: wood, stones, white walls coated with lime, in short an ultra warm atmosphere, good mix of cool and bohemian.
At the table, we share all around a generous Mediterranean cuisine from good fresh cooked products like the farandole of tapas and giant grilled rice dishes (such as the «Arroz a banda»). To water without moderation large Copa of cocktails and rosé well cool on background of chill music that makes travel.
