Ideally located between Nice and Monaco, the port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat represents the "French Riviera" in all its splendor and so sought after by visitors from around the world.
The old fishing village became a holiday haven in the early 20th century, with the arrival of wealthy foreign families, who built vast estates, like Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Many artists chose to stay there: Jean Cocteau decorated Villa Santo Sospir.
An 10 km coastal footpath offers exceptional panoramas. Beaches and creeks are an invitation to relax, while a wide range of water sports make it ideal for sportier stays.

FLORIDA BEACH is a very pleasant private beach, located opposite the CUM Mediterranean University Center. Florida Beach, between Poincare and Voilier beaches is now only a public beach as the former private Florida beach restaurant has closed. The gradual drop-off and gravel at the water's edge make sea access among the easiest in Nice. If you don't have watershoes, Florida beach is the place for you.
by train

From there:
Walk (about 20 minutes) straight down Avenue Jean Médecin to the beach.

Created in 1840, the most famous square in the Côte d'Azur has never stopped renewing itself. Place Masséna was designed to link the old quarters with the resort town that developed on the right bank of the Paillon. It became the center of the city thanks to its successful layout, marking the meeting point between the Old Nice, the access to the Promenade des Anglais, the beginning of Rue Masséna which is more commonly known as "la zone piétonne" [the pedestrian area] as well as the beginning of the busy shopping street, Avenue Jean Médecin. Moreover, Nice's Galeries Lafayette are located here, behind a majestic red façade. It sets the tone for the colour of the other buildings surrounding the square.
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa gave this place a new perspective by installing his work "Conversation in Nice." He conceived of seven statues perched here at around ten metres above the ground, representing the seven continents and which are illuminated when night falls. Crossed by the Promenade du Paillon, a 12-hectare park in the heart of the city, it is part of a setting combining iconic architecture, verdant vegetation and an azure blue sky. A real meeting place, it's partly here that the city's major events take place and where the famous floats of the Carnaval de Nice parade every year.
To get to Place Masséna in Nice, you can take Tram Line 2 towards Port Lympia and exit at the Jean Médecin stop, or use the Lignes d'Azur buses connecting the airport to the city center. Taxis and rental cars are also available at the airport. Alternatively, you can walk from Nice to Place Masséna, which is about 570 meters and takes about 6 minutes.

Built at the top of a hill, it stood overlooking the bay of Nice from the 11th century to the 18th century. It was besieged several times, especially in 1543 and in 1691, before it was taken by French troops in 1705 and finally destroyed in 1706 by command of Louis XIV. Nowadays, Castle Hill is used as a park.
By Public Transport
Take Bus Line 14 or 38, and get off at "Le Château" (check local maps/schedules).
Buses don’t go all the way up but can drop you closer than starting from the beach.
By Walking
The most scenic route is to walk up the wide, cobblestone staircase that starts at the end of the Promenade des Anglais. This walk takes about 15 minutes from the city center, according to Explore the Riviera.
By Elevator
For those who prefer not to climb, there's an elevator located near Tour Bellanda, which will bring you close to the top, according to What's On in Nice.
