Your neighborhood
The » quartier des Musiciens – Gambetta » is highly influenced from the architecture of the Belle Epoque ( 1890 – 1920). It’s the area wich is arguably the smartest residential area of Nice. Exclusive by day and calm by night, it’s the preserve of wealthy local families and young professional couples. The bourgeois blocks of buildings are known for their imposing façades, high ceilings and impossibly cute little French elevators.
Around your apartment you can ask the butcher ( rugby player) for his special suggestion of the day, talk to the local baker when you buy your baguette and the Italian lady who sells the best tomatos. And of course we don’t have to forget to talk about “le fromager”….the cheese monger who proposes the best cheese in the area. Ask her which one to choose and don’t forget to tell her when you will eat it. If you will eat it the same day: the cheese has to be “ bien fait” !
Laundry facilities, bike rental and public transport nearby.

Nice
The best 10 Sights to visit
With 300 days of sun per year, you’d be forgiven for spending most of your « Nice apartment time » on the beach or kicking back with a glass of rosé in a beach café. But if you do want to explore the French Riviera further, Nice will delight. The city is home to more museums than any other destination outside Paris. And the legacy of artists who came to Nice for the atmospheric light (among them Matisse, Chagall, Renoir and Picasso) is a volley of world-class art galleries–some in Nice, some just down the coast. We hope this list of our favorite attractions will have you scurrying south right away!
The Beach
You guessed it. This is the most popular attraction for guests in Nice. Your apartment is just a short stroll from le plage. Almost entirely public, the beach runs in a sun-blessed curve from the airport to the Colline du Chateau. The sea is extremely clear and has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness: many residents swim until November, and some hardy locals swim all year round! A handful of cool beach clubs line the water, charging between €15 and €20 for a day’s access to a comfy sun mattress, hot showers and waiter service for drinks. Blue Beach only 50 m from your flat with the “ Salade Nicois” near the Palais de la Mediterranée is popular with families as well.
Musée Masséna,
65 rue de France (garden entrance on Promenade des Anglais) just 20 m from your flat, entrance: Guide tour : appointment. Individual : 6€
This wonderful local history museum is housed in a palace which is outstanding! .The building has been so carefully renovated that today it reflects exactly what it would have looked like on completion in 1900, complete with ceiling frescoes and landscaped gardens. The portraits on the ground floor are of the Masséna family, former owners of the palace. This local posse of nobles gave nearby Place Masséna its name, and the surname still opens doors today. Riviera history is surmised in galleries of paintings of long-gone days (Cannes without the villas, Nice’s beach covered with fishing boats). Additional exhibits hint at the city’s golden age, with fancy party menus from the belle époque period and town plans showing who lived where on the Promenade (like today, it’s a mix of rich Russians, moneyed Americans and a sprinkling of British aristocracy).
Nice Old Town
Thousands of visitors have lost their heart in the Old Town. A century ago artist Henri Matisse moved his entire life here. More recently, scores of guests who have rented our Nice Old Town holiday apartments have fallen head over heels. The tall Italianate buildings, street markets, winding lanes, atmospheric buzz and tempting local bars make it the most visited neighborhood in the city. Its magnetism stems from the chance to get up close and personal with authentic Niçois society: shopping with locals on the majestic Cours Saleya’s daily market, watching street musicians busk at twilight or listening to the faithful sing at any of the 20 ornate churches which stud this medieval district. An aimless wander around this atmospheric quartier will leave you smiling and breathless.
Musée Matisse
164 Avenue des Arenes de Cimiez
www.musee-matisse-nice.org. Free
Matisse adored Nice so much that he stayed in this city of sun. He painted the Old Town and its lascivious young ladies in his younger years, living in three different properties around the Cours Saleya. Later in life he moved up to the classy suburb of Cimiez, where his vivid collection of artworks is now exhibited in a handsome old Italian villa. The museum is filled with light and is perfect for displaying parts of his Blue Nudes series, Jazz cutouts and the colourful models for his final masterpiece, the Chapelle du Rosaire in the nearby town of Vence.
MAMAC Museum of Modern Art
Promenade des Arts
www.mamac-nice.org. Ticket 48h 10€
The funniestexhibit in this world-class museum? The rejection lettersfrom the New York Museum of Modern Art to Andy Warhol, asking the modern artistjustwhenwashewasgoing to pick up his shocking submissions. Warhol isrepresentedhere in all hisglory, as is Robert Indiana and Arman. The mostinterestingpiecesfrom a local point of view are from the so-called Nice School of Artists, including Niki de Saint Phalle, Yves Klein and Ben, who have roomsdedicated to them. The panoramicviews over Nice from the circulargallery on the top floor are immense.
Opera
www.opera-nice.org
Nice was the most fabulous belle époque coastal resort of its generation. A rococo opera house to please the wealthy visitors was a natural addition to the city’s attractions, which included casinos, bathing cabins and some of the world’s finest hotels. This white stuccoes building sits on the seaside at the end of the Cours Saleya, and was declared a monument historique in 1993. In season (from October to June), a full program of opera, recital, ballet and classical performances are represented. Tickets can be as high as €100 for the best seats, and start from €8 for benches up in the Gods. To avoid disappointment, it’s best to book tickets way in advance, especially for the traditional favorites such as Bizet’s Carmen. The box office is open from 10am to 6pm daily except Sundays.
Palais Lascaris
15 Rue Droite. Free
Almost hidden in the winding streets of Nice Old Town is the beautiful façade of the Palais Lascaris. This fancy former residence dates back to the 18th century, but has now been flipped from a palatial home into a public museum. It houses a large collection of antiquities, including a recreation of a 19th century French pharmacy. It was the residency of the Lascaris-Vintimille family and remained their home until the French Revolution. The vaulted ceilings of the rooms are decorated with frescoes depicting mythological themes. The furniture, Flemish tapestries and coats of armour are reminiscent of an era that was dashed away from the fun- and sun-seeking tourists in the early 20th century.
