Nice Côte d’Azur, a territory to live

The territory of Nice Côte d’Azur metropolitan area has developed its own unique identity from its history and geography, ranging from the coast and hills, to the mountains and valleys. From the Mediterranean shores to the peaks of the Mercantour Massif, it offers an incomparable quality of life and many activities…

With all the landscapes and tourist facilities at its disposal, the Metropolitan area provides an extremely rich tourist offer, whether summer or winter, cultural or event, rural or urban, leisure or business. The unity of this area, unique in Europe, between the coastal towns – from Cagnes-sur-Mer to Cap d’Ail – and the resorts of Mercantour – Isola 2000, Auron, Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage – through the perched villages of the middle-country (Vence, Saint-Jeannes, Gattières, Falicon …), can infuse a dynamism conducive to the organization of all projects and all private events, public or professional.

This magnificent territory is also a real opportunity for our visitors who benefit from a unified and multiple destination at the same time, in a privileged environment between sea and mountains.
