Nice Travel Forum

Hi guys.

I am planning a trip to fly into Nice and out from Marseille in 1 week.

I have a few ideas of what to do. Nice/ Monaco/Cannes, go to the top of Eze (if that is easily reachable?) and if I do fancy it, catch a ferry to Corsica stay there the night and go back to the mainland.

I am planning to fly out of marseille and I have heard the train ride along the coast is fantastic! So I have a few questions:

1) I have heard must do train rides along the coast in this region, any suggestions which part is a must??? From Cannes/Nice to Marseille lets say?

2) Is Corsica really worth the trip? i.e beaches, ...well, its an island.

3) If do choose to skip Corsica, I might have 2 or so days spare. Any places highly recommended in between Cannes and Marseille that I shoudl stop by and see? ( I am going into Nice and planning to slowly make my way towards marseille)

Many thakns for you help.

We are leaving our rental car behind in Nice, and traveling to Cinque Terre, Italy at the end of June.

Should we go ahead and buy a train ticket now, or wait until we are in France? We will be in Nice a week before our travel date and could buy them at that time.

I'm wondering which train to Cinque Terre is the best, and what the intinerary would be? I'm guessing we'd go from Nice to either Levanto or Genoa and then a local train to Riomaggiore.

Can you advise me which way would be the best and if I should buy ahead? Also, do you know where I can purchase tickets now if that's better, and approximately how much they would cost.

We are a family of four trying to stay on a tight budget. :)
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks so much for any advice!

Hello

We are staying in Nice from Friday May 16 till Friday May 23rd. We intend to visit Cannes for one day by public transport, and would like to maximise our chances of spotting someone famous. Where is the best venue to hang out, and what day? (We have a child so late evening not really possible).

THANK YOU

Hello all!
I am planning a trip to Nice in the next few weeks and wanted to find out what options there are in terms of transportation to my hotel in juan-les-pins. If someone could tell me what transportation is available and how much it costs/ how long it takes from the airport, that would be really great!

Thanks!

Is there a bus going from the airport to La Gare in Nice?

Our cruise ship docks in Villefranche on May 27th. We would like to visit Nice, Eze, and St. Paul de Vence. What is thr best method for this? It appears that Nice is close to Villefranche, and Eze is 8kmk from Nice. Is this correct? Should we take the train to St. Paul de Vence, then return to Nice and have a taxi take us to Eze? Or hire a driver?

Hi all. Me and my friends are going to visit Nice from August 2 up to August 9 2008. What are the weather conditions that time? Is there anything particular we should notice?
Also i have been checking some low budget hotels like Trocadero or Kyriad.
Does anyone have any recommendations to make? We will hire car, so distance from center is not a matter.

Thanks in advance

Anthony

Would we have enough time to see Nice, Eze and Monte Carlo if we decide to rent a van? If so, do you have any recommendations where we ca rent a van?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,
I will be traveling as a party of 5 adults and am trying to find somewhere nice but inexpensive to stay in Nice at the end of December for a week. Can anyone suggest anywhere that is more around the £300 mark rather than £600??
Thanks

where can I get a bus to Nice or Eze near the harbor where the cruise ships dock. How long is the trip to each and the cost to each...Thank you

We are arriving Thursday, April 17th. It looks like it is expected to rain Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Does it look like a steady rain over the whole region? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Hi!

I'm thinking of going in July(21-24)on a Northern Italy-French Riviera circuit which among others, includes 4 nights in Nice(1 day trip to Monaco, 1 day trip to Cannes, St Tropez and Grasse, 1 free day in Nice). Accommodation and breakfast are included, so I was wondering maybe someone could tell me where to eat on a budget, or to buy food...Are fruits cheaper at the market than in the supermarket? How much would a kilo of bananas or oranges be? or a bottle of water? anything that you think should know would be greatly appreciated.

I read about nice haircuts being done at Salon Identity, does anyone know how much is a haircut?

How much can fees at entrances to museums or other attractions range from?

I'm trying to figure out how much money would be ok for a 3 days-4 nights.

Thank you very much in advance.:-)

What would the price (approx) be for a taxi from train station to Avenue Gravier (this is 5Km away). How do you book a taxi in Nice, are they outside of the station, I don't want to walk late at night (about 10-11PM)!

Many Thanks

Bonjour

Pardon. Je ne parle pas francais tres bien.

Long haul from New Zealand, complete with cycles. My wife and I are arriving Cote d'Azur Airport at Friday 25 April at 13:50.

We're trying to decide whether to get a taxi to our hotel (Stars Antibes, 905 Chemin du Valbosquet, Antibes 06600) or assemble our bikes at the Airport and ride there.

We'd prefer to ride I think. Can you forsee any problems:

1) finding somewhere to assemble at airport?
2) cycling approx 10 km along Blvd de la Plage (is there a cycleway nearby?) towards Antibes then 3 km inland to hotel?

Thanks for any suggestions. Merci.

Does anyone know how long in the car it will take to get from Cannes to Nice and from Nice to Monte Carlo?
We will be traveling around the week of April 19th. We are going to the tennis tournment on Monday, April 20th in Monte Carlo and our hotel is in Cannes.
Also, what time of day is traffic the worst?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have finally got sick of taxi service and would try the bus.

Is it safe to ride airport bus at about 10 – 11 p.m.?
And 5 – 6 a.m.? Can they suddenly cancel a bus early in the morning?
What about the luggage – it isn’t supervised, is it? Does it often disappear?

Thanks!

Hi all!

I will be going to Nice on the 22nd of April, and staying for 3 days. For that short time, will it be possible to visit Cannes and Monaco too? What places should I not miss while there? I have heard that the South of France is extra gorgeous during April.


Also, do you have suggestions as to where to stay in Nice?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I have some tram and bus questions

Thanks

1) Nice Train station to Hostel - Villa Saint Exupery-

Does a tram run from the 'train station' to this hostel?

Railway Station, Avenue Thiers

2) Can you get a bus from Nice Airport to the train station (non-stop)?

We have an early morning flight into Nice on 1 May and will travel on to Aix-en-Provence same day. Since this is Labor Day/Ascension Day, we're concerned about holiday crowds. Would appreciate any help/advice re:
1. Can we reserve tickets for the bus to Aix?
2. Train vs. bus??
3. Since more direct bus doesn't run on holiday, any opinions on taking the longer bus route? Does it make lots of stops? -----Thanks!!

I am trying to find a reasonable source to rent a car at the Nice airport for the month of May. Most of the websites I have checked are charging at least 870 Euros for an intermediate category car. Any suggestions?

We are staying in Nice during May and would welcome any 4 star hotel recommendations. All replies would be grateful received. Our thanks in anticipation.

Just wondering if the new tramway is fully operational by now. They were conducting numerous test runs with empty trams on my visit in November.

Looking at a Google map, my guesthouse(Thyjeff)backs up to the main rail line AND a freeway! LOL My luck. Anyone know if it is on the good side of the street?
Address: 36 Boulevard Raimbaldi
Thanks.....

Hello,

I'll be arriving Nice by air and would like to go to Avignon. Is there a bus or train from the airport that goes straight to Avignon? I don't want to stay in Nice as I have been there before. I would like to visit Arles and surrounding cities from Avignon before heading up to Paris.

Any suggestions or help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
