Winter in Nice and along the French Riviera – 2023 Slow tourism

On the Côte d’Azur, we like to say that winter is settling with her Majesty Carnival of Nice…

February on the French Riviera, is the month of the festivals, parades and flowering corsos, it disguised children and offers legendary flower battles on the Promenade des anglaise along the bay of Nice…

The days are getting longer and the sun is already rocking the beaches between Nice and Menton, frequented by lovers of our beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

This is the month of the renewal and the month of sales too!

The Carnival of Nice and the Lemon Festival in Menton are filled with joy and wonder. Confetti rains in the streets, the music is everywhere, the atmosphere is good child …

A little further, the Italian Riviera markets of Ventimiglia and San Remo extend their know-how, inimitable, shoes, bags, scarves, merge with the colors of the specialties local, of which the Italians have the secret.

For those who are fascinated by the snow, our French south Alps resorts as Isola 2000, Auron, or more for the young kids and families Valberg and Beuil remains open and offer countless skiable ski slopes 90 kilometers away from the cost of Nice and Nice airport,

The closest resorts are only 45 minutes away from the cost of Cannes and Nice with Greoliere and La Colmiane.

Those who are brave enough can swim in the morning in the Mediterranean sea on the bay of Villefranche-sur-mer or Antibes to enjoy sandy beach, and go ski in the afternoon in the French Alps, before enjoying a good snack with our fishermen traditional dish of Socca (
Niçoise culinary specialty based on chickpea flour) in the old town of Nice where takes place the 13 century world known flower market !!!

Further to the west, on the way to Saint-Tropez, the landscape is dressed in yellow, on the Esterel mountain hills, whose red-rocky coasts of Frejus and Saint-Raphael have remained wild and unreal in their beauty.
