Myself and my colleague did the Environmental Stewardship course delivered by Frances Osbourne. We thoroughly enjoyed the course and got a lot out it. The best part was the trip to the Food Market with Frances where we got to sample the local foods. She was so well … More prepared for it and has a wealth of knowledge. Thank you Frances for making our trip such a wonderful experience.

Erasmus in Nice, highly recommended!
Being able to enjoy the city, how well connected it is with other beautiful cities on the Cote d'Azur is a true dream. In addition, learn and make very good human relations.
Best Things to Do in Nice
One of the wonderful things about Nice is that it is a perfect city for walking and exploring, so bring your walking shoes. It is a relatively compact city and you can become quite familiar with the main landmarks and routes in a day or two.
The Provencale menu is proudly featured in restaurants in Nice and we encourage you to go beyond the “tourist” eateries and venture into the world of rich, local cuisine by looking for restaurants where the people of Nice choose to eat. Of course, we can advise you on some places to enjoy authentic and affordable treats.
The food of Nice is the food of Provence. Real Provençal cuisine is high-spirited but simple, focusing on preserving the taste and texture of seasonal, fresh ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, saffron, peppers, anchovies, olives, olive oil, and wild herbs. It is above all Mediterranean and “familial”- la cuisine de grand-mère (Grandmother’s cooking).
Among dishes that you will readily find on menus in and around Nice are Ratatouille, Aïoli, Tapenade, Bouillabaisse, and, of course, Salade Niçoise
In Nice, there are four wonderful seasons, each with its own special climate and traditions. In Spring, daytime temperatures range from Min average +15 °C (58 °F) to Max average to +21 °C (69 °F), in Summer Min average +18 °C (64 °F) to Max average +27 °C (80 °F) (note that temperatures can reach into the high 30s!), in Autumn Min average +8 °C (46 °F) to Max average +25 °C (77 °F) and in winter Min average +4.5 °C (40 °F) to Max average +13 °C (55 °F).
1) Nice Old Town
The Old Town of Nice (Vieille Ville), also called Old Nice (Vieux Nice) is made up of tall tenement houses lined up along narrow and shadowed streets. The names of streets in the Old Town are written in two versions: in French and in the local Nissart dialect (niçart).
The ground floors are occupied by restaurants, shops, and galleries of local artists. You can buy everything here, from Provencal spices to hand-made jewelry and cosmetics. Just wander in and let yourself be carried away by the past, which is still very much present here.
2) Parc de la Colline du Château (Castle Hill Park)
The Colline du Château was the site chosen by the Phocaean Greeks to establish their trading post and thus found the city of Nice, a few millennia ago. It was then the seat of the castle, which had now disappeared and protected the medieval city. A military stronghold for centuries, the first garden was set up in 1829 and embellished on several occasions.
The historical richness of this park rivals its landscaped attractions which offer magnificent panoramas as well as pleasant walks. There is also a restaurant, refreshments, souvenir shops, and games for children. Today, there is no castle left, but Castle Hill Park is probably the most beautiful view of Nice you can get, so it is definitely a must-see!
3) Matisse Museum
The collection of the Musée Matisse, Nice, is unique in the world in its gathering of works and objects from the artist and his heirs. Much of these came directly from Henri Matisse’s studio and thus constitute an exceptional testament. To visit the Musée Matisse is to access the innermost layer of his creation and in so doing bring it back to life through an itinerary in which works and objects respond to each other.
Matisse is recognized as one of the greatest painters of the first half of the 20th century, but Henri Matisse the sculptor is yet to be discovered. With a wealth of pieces numbering 84 in total, which were produced between 1900 and 1950, this body of work covers every period of his artistic journey.
Matisse’s sculptures were created alongside his paintings, and the two go hand in hand.
4) Promenade des Anglais
You don’t have to be high up to find a fantastic panorama in Nice. The Promenade des Anglais is the quintessence of Nice, where you can find everyone walking around, each wandering as it pleases. “La Prom ‘” as it is called here, stretches for 11 kilometers so that on a clear day it can be seen from Nice airport to the tip of the Old Port of Nice.
Treat yourself to ice cream and walk along the promenade, or if you’re feeling less energetic, sit in one of the traditional blue chairs and read a good book.
Nice became a second home to many European aristocrats in the 18th century, who took up winter residence along the coast in Cannes and Nice.
The ex-pats began the custom of walking up and down the beautiful coastline, taking in the scenery, and were keen to build a formal walkway. It became known as the “Camin deis Anglés” in the local dialect (the “English Way”) but was later rechristened La Promenade des Anglais in 1860.
The town has since taken it under its wing and extended and developed it. It is now used for many cultural events, such as the Nice Carnival.
5) Monastère Notre-Dame-de-Cimiez and Gardens
Originally a Benedictine foundation, the monastery was taken over by the Franciscans in the 16th century and extended in the 17th century. Its present appearance is characterized by the restoration carried out according to Gothic models in 1850. Inside the church are fine altarpieces of the Nice school, including a Crucifix by Bréa dating from 1475.
The square outside offers an outstanding view and features a marble cross dating from 1477. The monastery also has a museum that shows the life of the Franciscan monks in Nice from the 13th to the 18th century. The visit offers insight into the general spiritual and social work of the Franciscan order.
Don’t miss the opportunity to wander in the beautifully landscaped garden of the Monastery, with its rose garden and Mediterranean plants, is beautiful with a view that embraces a large part of the city, all the way to the sea.
6) Marché aux Fleurs du Cours Saleya (Flower Market in Saleya Place)
Near the Old Port of Nice, the Flower Market is a general public flower sale point that has been in existence for over 120 years. Even today, it is one of the very first flower markets in France, where delicious fruits and vegetables are sold as well as flowers from the region.
The inhabitants of Nice and its surroundings come to ask for advice on how to grow plants and visitors come to stroll through its alleys, photograph the brightly colored stalls, and taste the local specialties.
Traditionally, peasants and farmers arrived very early in the morning from the area to sell to wholesalers, who then transported the flowers by train to all corners of Europe. After each departure of wholesalers in the morning, the market opened to individuals, as is the case today (wholesalers now buy their flowers in a different market, reserved for professionals).
7) Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain – MAMAC (Museum of Old and New Art)
Located in the heart of town, next to Place Garibaldi, the MAMAC offers a plunge into the adventure of art from the 1950s to the present day. The collection, comprising more than 1,300 works by 300 artists, offers an unprecedented dialogue between New European Realism and the American expression of assemblage art and Pop Art.
The museum also displays key works of minimal art or arte povera. Two major figures of 20th-century art constitute the heart of the collections: Yves Klein, with a permanent room unique in the world, made possible thanks to the deposits of the Yves Klein Archives, and Niki de Saint Phalle which represents one of the most important collections of the artist in Europe following his donation in 2001.
The museum offers a regular program of exhibitions of international level on the 1st stage of MAMAC and in its contemporary gallery, alternating thematic exhibitions and monographs of major figures in the art of the last sixty years.
8) Place Masséna – Galleries Lafayette
With its red ochre facade and blue-green shutters Galeries Lafayette, Nice-Massena immediately strikes the eye. Galeries Lafayette is an upmarket and famous French department store chain.
In 1895, Théophile Bader and his cousin Alphonse Kahn opened a fashion store in a small haberdasher’s shop at the corner of rue La Fayette and the Chaussée d’Antin in Paris. In 1896, their company purchased the entire building at 1 rue La Fayette, thus giving this iconic store its name.
The second most visited store for international customers after Paris, Galeries Lafayette in Nice- Masséna, spreads over 13,000 m2 and 5 floors, A wide range of prestigious brands are available at the store to suit all budgets, from ready-to-wear to haute couture. The “Bella Bay” restaurant for a coffee break or a convivial lunch offers a breathtaking view of Place Masséna.
9) Musée et Site Archéologiques de Cimiez (Archaeological Site and Museum of Cimiez)
Close to the Matisse Museum, the Archeology Museum of Nice-Cimiez is located right on the site of the former Cemenelum, the hub of the Roman dominion in the region. Founded by Augustus in 14 BC, Cemenelum was proclaimed the capital of Alpes Maritimae, an ancient Roman Province.
The vestiges of the 3rd-century public baths and of the Roman amphitheater, along with other sites substantiating the continuity of the human inhabitation of the place for centuries (paved streets, an Early Christian site), are also open to visits. Eventually, exhibits of sundry private archeological collections can also be admired here.
The museum, inaugurated in January 1989, displays objects and documents from the life of Cemenelum and the province of the Alpes Maritime. Its collections range from the Bronze Age (1100 BC) to the Middle Ages, including ceramics, glass, coins, jewelry, sculptures, and tools.
10) Explore the French Riviera
The French Riviera is a mind-blowing area with plenty of cities to discover. Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, and Menton are all world-renowned cities only a few minutes from Nice. The Côte d’Azur also boasts some splendid beaches, and to top it all, the Alp mountains are less than an hour away. There are so many gorgeous things on the French Riviera that one trip won’t be enough to see them all!
