Nestled high above the vibrant port city of Toulon, Zoo Fauverie Du Mont Faron offers an extraordinary wildlife experience that beautifully blends nature with conservation. This unique sanctuary is dedicated to breeding and caring for a variety of big cats, including tigers, lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Visitors can also encounter fascinating creatures like wolves, hyenas, bears, and even playful monkeys in a setting that emphasizes education and awareness about endangered species.
Lovelly quaint zoo. You can see the animals so well and near. The animals look very well kept. The lion look gorgeous. Very interesting as well that it is located on the top of Mont Faron. Big forests and with a spectacular view over Toulon.
Carlotta T — Google review
The story behind the zoo is really beautiful and shows that the keepers of this zoo have a big heart for animals. Almost all the animals here are feline. The animals look very well taken care of. There is also a lot of info about the animals so it’s not only nice to see but also educational. Some enclosures however seem a little to small and could use some modernization. But they seem to have a lot of toys to play with and they all had fresh (some even streaming) water in there enclosure. Overall the animals looked very happy. I would go again if i’m ever in the neighborhood again. (Especially for cute little retired Yvonne the raccoon)
Karen D — Google review
They keep good carers of the animals it was clean and fun place to wisit. Go before feeding time 15:00 it get really grounded at 14:00 lot of kids come that time cos they let kid help whit the feeding
Pyry K — Google review
Tough ride to get there and in the zoonot really enjoyable ride if you have small kids that require a buggy. It's very steep and lots of holes in the ways. Yes, very small zool - we were done in <30min, and we spent a lot of time with each animal we saw (we saw 7, including the donkey and goat). The cages seemed indeed small, and everything looked very ramped down (fences were taped with wire that they still hold 😂😂). It's definitely not worth the ride, but maybe we are just used to different experiences when it comes to zoos... On the positive note, they started to refurbish a lot of cages. All the best for the future to the team that was nice and especially the animals.
David — Google review
The cages are so tiny that I felt bad for the animals. The zoo is also in a very poor condition, but they are busy renovating right now. It took us only 20 minutes to look at everything, so 12.50 for a ticket was quite expensive. I regret my visit.
Calypso — Google review
Nice little zoo, but life seems to be boring for these cats. Also, lots of empty cages. But still, nice visit
Bern M — Google review
Fantastic zoo! Staff are really passionate and are clearly doing a great job caring for these animals. It’s important to visit as the money spent on the tickets will improvise their facility and make enclosures even better. Had a great visit!
Alex C — Google review
Fun for an hour and a half. It is very tired and is in desperate need of investment in everything. To be positive, the animals appear in good condition and well looked after. None of them looked insane like the polar bear at Glasgow zoo. My daughter enjoyed herself. The picnic tables have a great view. April 2022..back again. We had a good time. All the cats were awake and moving about.

Basilique Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is a Catholic basilica located in the small town of St-Maximin-la-Ste-Baume in central Var department, France. It was constructed over three centuries from the 13th to the 16th and houses historic organs and relics of Mary Magdalene. The basilica is well-preserved and worth visiting for its historical and aesthetic value, offering free entry even to the crypt during low season.
A hidden gem. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but this basilique is among the best in France. Incredible architecture, powerful organ, and beautiful art. The crypt of Mary Magdalene is beneath the church and there is an entrance accessible from inside
Matthew K — Google review
imposing and beautiful basilica in the old town, the largest Gothic building in Provence which houses the relics of Mary Magdalene ...
Enjoy L — Google review
Beautiful basilique with lots of history. If you get a chance to go with a guide, I would recommend that! And don’t forget to check out the gift shop to participate in the renovation fundraising (they sell religious items but also local honey and other things, and you can pay by card). We were lucky to visit it with a friend who had done a guided tour on the journées du patrimoine and explained a lot of the history like how it was almost robbed at the revolution and that’s why a lot of the stained glass is gone but the organ player started playing the national anthem and pushed the invaders away. The story of Sainte Marie Madeleine is beautiful too, and so much more!

Another fantastically beautiful and Grand cathedral.
Herbster — Google review
Wonderful place well preserved, which dates back to the beginning of Christianity The abside is really spectacular The 2000-years old crypt contains the remains of our Saint Sister Marie-Madelaine, which seems unbelievable One downside : large groups of people just stay packed inside the crypt for long periods of time, preventing other persons from accessing the tombs

Be prepared for long roads. The beaches are pretty small. Plenty of fish right as you walk in the wather. As you walk away from the port there are no places where you can buy stuff like wather, so it is really remote, you need to bring everything with you. Beautiful views and beaches.

Vieille ville Cité Médiévale

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
The Vieille ville Cité Médiévale is a captivating historical landmark that nearly deserves a perfect rating. The only aspect that may fall short is the parking availability. This small medieval center astounds visitors with its enchanting narrow and steep streets, bustling city squares, and delightful street musicians. While there are souvenir shops present, there are numerous other attractions to enjoy as well. Exploring this area on foot for hours brings immense joy and satisfaction.
Nice experience. Plenty of shops and small side streets to explore. Did not really get a sense of anything traditionaly medieval, but still a good experience.
Mark C — Google review
I will almost give this 5 stars. Parking might be the lacking last star. The small mideval center of town is absolutely amazing. Narrow streets. steep streets, city squares, music on the street corners. Here are souvenier shops, but if you avoid these, there is plenty of other things to enjoy ... I walked here for hours, and I am happy to do so again. The city square has an old knights templar castle/tower. An absolute beauty to behold. There is lots and lots of foods to choose from ... from the local eatery over touristic cafés and then the artisinal bakery. If you have lots of energy: walk all the way to the top and enjoy the medival castle .. or just walk halfway and see the church and the view of the old town.

Plage de l'Estagnol is a charming sandy cove surrounded by a pine forest, offering clear and warm Mediterranean waters. It's located just 20 minutes from Bormes-les-Mimosas and features two restaurants, picnic tables, and nearby parking under the shade of pine trees. The beach gradually slopes into the sea, making it ideal for families with children. Visitors can also explore the area's natural beauty by trekking or cycling through the nearby vineyards and forests.
Most beautiful place in zone, clean, must be visiting!
M G — Google review
The beach is beautiful, however we found human excrements in the water for the second year in a row. We’ve noticed the park workers and they said is probably due to the boats in the bay close to the beach. This is unacceptable considering that beach people have park regulations to respect and each car pays for the entrance.
Dott. Z — Google review
Parking is €12 per day, but the beach gets overcrowded and even finding a spot is uncertain. Long lines at the entrance and people packed too close together make it less enjoyable. Only recommend outside peak season.
Luca — Google review
Visited peak Season in August. As others say, wasn’t even anywhere to put a towel down. Water was murky, kept getting whiffs of rotten eggs. As much as the fine sand was nice, it gets stuck to everything, still finding it days later. Car was covered inside from it. Avoid.
Kenny S — Google review
At just 20 mins drive from Bormes-les-Mimosas, la plage de l’Estagnol is a quaint little sand beach, with clear and wonderful warm waters, beautiful views and settings in a well preserved Mediterranean bay. It has a nearby parking that costs 11 € where you can park your car under beautiful pine trees. There are two restaurants offering a good choice of refreshments and foods. Highly recommended for families with kids. Make sure to get there early as it gets busy very quickly.

Personal favourite. Calm hidden gem with 2 lovely restaurants that offer reasonable prices. Great for tanning and shallow waters. No screaming kids. 10 euro per car entry. You are able to picnic in the forest so do bring your picnic table and chairs.

10€ is not so expensive to park, yes the price is high at the restaurant but it’s understandably because staff should have salary and it’s a short time for this kind of business. Over the drinks and the food 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Museum
Specialty Museums
The Museum of Prehistory of the Gorges du Verdon, designed by architect Norman Foster, houses impressive archaeological artifacts and prehistoric exhibits that provide visitors with an in-depth understanding of the surrounding nature reserve. It is a must-visit destination for those interested in the Verdon canyon area. The permanent exhibit is elegantly laid out and highly recommended to explore with headphones available in several languages at no extra cost. This museum is an excellent educational experience for both children and adults alike.
Reading the reviews I feel like many people went somewhere else!! Well laid out, lots of info and truly interesting for the amateur archeo - there was also many lifelike displays, a fantastic film show and many different formats. Downstairs was a whole area about dinosaurs obviously curated with kids in mind… A brilliant place to visit - especially as there is an outdoor exhibition of prehistoric building styles ( free) as well!!
Jo G — Google review
It is a nice museum in a nice building but we just couldn’t believe that all information was only in French. They even didn’t have printed materials in foreign languges. We used an English audio guide but it was incomplete. The multimedia presentation could use subtitles (even in French). And cherry on top was an arrogant commentary of a receptionist that we could learn there some French. Just wow.
Petra K — Google review
This is always going to be very subjective. But if you're going to have a museum full of exciting recreated animals that children will love, then that's what you stick on your adverts. Because, then people that see the adverts and like what they see will come to the museum , and like everything they see. This is sadly not the case here. The publicity photo is literally the first thing you see after opening the door (to the amazing building). But after that it is virtually all tiny bits of broken stone that someone has declared was a spear or arrow, or knife or toothpick etc. Funnily enough my kids (3 and 10) thought that basically one broken stone is much like another broken stone. Now of course this isn't true, and I appreciate all the research and information given about each broken stone. And the 10yr old got into it a bit. But if you want people who are interested in broken stone to come to the museum then put a broken stone on the ad. There won't be as many of them, but they'll be happy as Larry!
TOM H — Google review
Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed by this museum. The building is good and there a few good features, but overall, there was too much text and some artifacts but little to keep children and adults alike captivated. Even if the content itself is very interesting and detailed, an overhaul of the main exhibit would be welcome to better match today's expectations for a museum. As a side note, please be aware that all text is in French only. Also, the "prehistoric village" nearby is quite nice.

Abbaye du Thoronet

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Abbey
Sights & Landmarks
Abbaye du Thoronet, part of the trio of great Provencal Cistercian abbeys, is a masterpiece of sacred architecture. Built between 1160 and 1190, it stands out for its ultra-austere style with pure proportions and perfectly dressed stone. The abbey's well-preserved cellar showcases the original equipment used by monks to make wine and olive oil. Visitors can easily imagine the strict lives led by the monks within its walls.
I really enjoyed my visit. It’s in a very special place in amongst the lovely wooded hills of the Var. I didn’t mind paying the entrance fee because how much would it cost to maintain these sort of buildings and repair them! It was lovely to walk around and soak in the atmosphere. There’s also a lovely cafe just outside at run by a lovely mother and his son And there was good spots for us to park our bicycles.
Lucinda H — Google review
To me there was almost no the spirit- they made it like museum and take 9 euro for the entrance. Disapointed.
Dmitry N — Google review
This is off the beaten path a little, but we were so glad we visited. Beautifully restored 900 year old Abbey. If you are looking for fancy gargoyles and intricate designs then this isn't the place for you. It is sleek and simple in lines and impresses with its size, simple beauty, and sense of peace. The acoustics are impressive, whether in the church or the monks dormitory. The barrel vaulted ceilings and cloisters are beautiful. Visited on a Tuesday and there were only a dozen or so other visitors there at the same time so often we had spaces to ourselves. The parking lot is just across the road and it is a 200m or so walk on a cobbled path to the entrance through the reception/gift shop. Audio guides are available in English. There is a kiosk selling cold drinks & gelato by the car park.
Jeanie M — Google review
Beautiful abandoned monastery set among trees a few miles outside Carcès. The monks may have gone, but their church and monastic buildings remain and it's fascinating to look at how they, and the Lay Brothers, lived their simple lives. (Not too simple though. Look at the size of that tithe barn). The acoustics in the the Romanesque church are wonderful. Outside, even the grasshoppers keep reverentially quiet. If feeding the flesh is as important to you as feeding the spirit, then there's a very pleasant little coffee shop in the car park a few hundred yards away. Tickets are 9€ and can be bought in advance on the website.

One of the most amazing places i've visited, really shows how monks used to live back in the day. Abbey and surrounding nature makes you feel like you're back to medieval times
Dominykas — Google review
Entering through the gateway to Thoronet is like stepping out of time. The museum’s quiet halls open into a world where the Cistercians’ austere simplicity still breathes through the stones. Further out into the courtyard around the church, one encounters silence , an architecture that does not shout, but whispers of proportion, light, and shadow. Here, each step becomes a meditation on how humanity shapes spaces for the sacred. In the olive production, where soil and labor are joined, one is reminded of the rhythm of monastic life: prayer and work, ora et labora. The roots of the olive trees reach deep, as if searching for what lies hidden in the frost the quiet force that carries both fruit and history. And finally, the magnificent jar. A simple vessel, yet also a symbol: humanity’s attempt to give form to what would otherwise slip away. Here, clay becomes a mirror of our own existence, fragile, yet filled with meaning. Thoronet is not merely a visit; it is a reminder that simplicity can be the most enduring. Perhaps something we ought to reflect on more today.
Michael M — Google review
We went here on the recommendation of a family member and were not disappointed. What a fantastic abbey that is still in it's original condition. You can take a 1 hour guided tour or take the map and tour on your own. If you would like a guided tour in a different language than French, make sure you call ahead and request the language you would like for your tour. The atmosphere here was very peaceful. Plenty to photograph and appreciate. Would definitely recommend a tour here if you are in the area. Well worth it.

Great lake to have fun. You can rent peddle boats, motor boats and all kinds of other water equipment. The water is nice and clear. The "beach" is full of stones so it is advisable to have decent flipflops, especially coming out of the water is a bit tricky.

One of the best places in Europe , eventhough it was raining when we went so that we couldn’t do the boat ride/kayak or we couldn’t swim, but it worth even to visit and have that idyllic views of the lake.

It is a huge lake in the Alps of Haute Provence region, known for its boat sailing, kayaking, pets and kids friendly beaches with fabulous view over the lake from the village and over the village from the lake. I took a trail around and across the village and was delighted with the scenery around, but I didn’t take any boat nor kayak trip, that are highly recommended though because if the peaceful waters and stunning view. There is an easy access to the lake itself, and to the main village streets. One can find a camping car lot and camping itself right near the entrance to the village, fully equipped with playgrounds and barbecue places. The place is full with people though everywhere: in the water and camping.

If you want to paddle around the lake and canyons, it is recommended to navigate directly to “Pont du Galetas”, where there are parking spaces and boat and kayak rentals. Very beautiful and very close to lavender fields.

Hotel
Castle
Chateau de Berne Hotel Spa Cellars is a stunning 18th-century castle that boasts elegant accommodations and upscale amenities such as pools, spa, and fine dining. The hotel's location is exceptional and the service provided by the friendly staff is impeccable. Guests can indulge in the delightful picnic offerings while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. However, some visitors find the Michelin-starred restaurant less impressive.
Our stay at Chateau Berne was absolutely wonderful. The grounds are stunning. All the staff was so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Our concierge host Marie was very helpful and responsive. She recommended visiting the local outdoor market and it was incredible! We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa and it was gorgeous and so comfortable. We took a day trip to Monaco and couldn’t wait to come back. All the food we had was excellent. The Michelin restaurant was amazing, highly recommend. We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful chateau and surroundings. Lovely staff. Could do with a few more people working there to allow for better service in the bar, around the pool and in housekeeping. You need a car to get out and about or explore the local area as it’s too remote for taxis. Lovely modern padel and tennis courts. Good value generally. Lovely local wine from the estate.

We chose this hotel for our honeymoon, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived the hotel went above and beyond to make our entire stay exceptional. The space was relaxing, beautifully designed, and truly luxurious. The dining was unforgettable, the views were fantastic, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. Their attention to detail made our honeymoon stay absolutely magical. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to come back!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Chateau de Berne. We came here for our 1 year wedding anniversary and they made it very special for us. It felt so peaceful and private everywhere you went and was the perfect place for us to spend our anniversary. The room was lovely, the restaurants were great and the bar was very nice too. We enjoyed the live music on the Thursday evening. We are hoping to return very soon!

Wow. As soon as you arrive, you’re engulfed in scene that is second to none. The grounds are immaculate - some of the best we have or will ever see. All restaurants deserve to be visited (Le Jardin especially, being our favorite Michelin restaurant of our two week trip), service from reception to the pool to room service was quick and accommodating, and they even coordinated transportation to/from our other destinations with the friendliest of people. We sincerely appreciate your world class hospitality.

Went to Bistrot for meal - awkward walk from car park, not suitable for disabled (no directions to any disabled parking) However, outstanding once I hobbled there. The service was very good, the food excellent and the ambiance great Their own white wine was also excellent. Well worth the hour's drive.

Here you can walk, ride a boat or kayak. 4. A great place for photos and meditation in nature. 5. Definitely worth a visit - the views remain in your heart for a long time.

Breathtaking scenery and an unforgettable experience! We had an amazing time at Gorges du Verdon. The views are absolutely stunning—the water is a perfect turquoise, and the surrounding cliffs make it feel like something out of a postcard. We rented a paddle boat and explored deep into the canyon, but there are also kayaks and electric boats available if you prefer. The water was refreshing and perfect for a swim, and if you’re feeling adventurous, there are plenty of rocks to jump off of for a bit of extra fun. We went in the morning, which I highly recommend to avoid crowds and enjoy the calm atmosphere. The rental process was quick, with hardly any waiting, but make sure to bring an ID or driver’s license—it’s required to rent equipment. The staff were friendly, and the boats were in good condition. The price was very fair for the time we had on the water. There are also nearby cafes, restrooms, and parking, making it easy to spend a half or full day here. Whether you want a peaceful paddle, a swim in crystal-clear water, or a bit of cliff-jumping adventure, Gorges du Verdon is an absolute must-visit.

Excellent waterpark - one of the better ones we have visited in Europe. Not too big or small and plenty 9f variety in the slides and pools. Food is outrageously expensive - €4.10 for one bottle of coke. Bring your own food and you will be fine.
Bruce W — Google review
Good park, very busy, we went on a Thursday in summer. Slides are nice, but only 2 are really awesome. Long queues, so fast pass is almost needed an day like this. We brought our own food, it's allowed, decently priced drinks.
Pieter T — Google review
The park is nice. Enough parking lots, well maintained, slides are OK, queues are reasonable without fast pass (except two biggest ones). My three kids had a happy times there. But the attitude is terrible. Half an hour before closure security guards are pushing you to leave faster, very few staff speaks English or any other language. And my favourite - I have paid 150+ euros for 5 entry tickets and one lunch (euro 15). The food court that serves prepaid food was closed at 15:10 when I went there to get my lunch. No signes, nothing. Other food courts didn’t accept my QR code. I wrote an email to them afterwards and got a response that this food courts works between 11 and 15:30 that was never mentioned at the time of purchasing the tickets. They behave very cheap by declining my request to make a return of 15 euros. Cheap crooks in OK water park :(
Yevgeniy S — Google review
Great park. Super nice during end of season once the kids were back to school, as there were zero lines. Only complaint is they nickel and dime you at every opportunity. Parking: £4…Locker: £7 Beach chair: £4. My 5 year olds were just a few inches short to ride any of the slides, but there were 2 kiddy parks, a lazy river and a large pool they could use which was enough for them. Will definitely come back.
Justin L — Google review
Good waterpark, the kids had a great time all day and we felt they were safe. We hired the sun-loungers in the VIP area for €40 and it was worth the money. Longest wait for a ride was 1 hour and we didnt bother with fast passes as they were very expensive. Family of 6.
James H — Google review
Been there many times before. Some queuing always happened but this year was the worst ever! We were able to go on three rides in an entire day of being there and queued for hours. It works out at €10 per ride unless you are prepared to pay the extortionate extra of€30 per person for a fast pass. This would bring the entry cost per person to €57. That is too steep and just reeks of greediness. The introduction of the ‘fast pass’ has lead to excessive wait times and is just another sign of how big corporations exploit people. We will certainly never return after this disaster of a day.
S G — Google review
Bigger and better rides than the nearby St Maxime site. (which was our first choice when taking children under 10. The Frejus site is now our first choice as the kids are old enough to go off by themselves. The kids love it, we now go every year. Food and Drink is expensive though, we normally pack drinks and sandwiches which they are happy to let in. There does seem to be an issue with hard case cool boxes, we’ve never had an issue with material cool boxes.
Steven O — Google review
Get the fast pass! You'll regret it other wise. The two main rides (Vertigo and the Serpent) are very popular and you'll have to wait for 1-2 hours in line. Other than that all the rides are great!

Chapel

Le Roc au Serre and the chapel Notre-Dame du Roc is a must-visit destination in Castellane, offering breathtaking views and a charming chapel perched atop the rock. The hike up the Chemin du Roc to the chapel provides amazing panoramic views and is worth the effort for any fit and capable walker. Families with young children can also create unforgettable memories by exploring Castellane with Les Anes du Verdon, who offer donkey crossings.
An amazing place. If you are ever close to Castellane an can set aside at least one day the town is worth a visit. If you are fit enough, capable of walking at least 2 miles with a steep gradient most of the way the walk up the Chemin du Roc to the Chapelle Notre Dame du Roc has some amazing views in all directions, once at the top the views are awesome. To top it all is a beautiful chapel perched atop the rock. Very much worth the effort.

It is a small charming church on the top of the Roc mountain in the heart of Castallon village. From the first sight it seems like the mountain is too steep to climb, but indeed there are two not difficult at all trails, leading to the church and the panoramic viewpoint over the village. I took the Chemin du Croix (Christ Path) from the village center. To come back if you need to take another path, take right side on the crossing, it will lead you through the splendid view over the Notre Dame du Roc and the Old Tower. There is no accessible way to the church though, only hiking one. Inside of the church one will find lots of gratitudes from 18th century and till nowadays. Very touching.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful but there are not many places to park and therefore enjoy the panorama. Above all, you have to drive along the coast. On foot, it's not easy either. We are not going to walk along the road, knowing that there is no room for pedestrians! No coastal path either or very little. (Original) Très beau mais il n'y a pas beaucoup d'endroits pour se garer et donc profiter du panorama. Il faut surtout longer la côte en voiture. À pied, ce n'est pas facile non plus.

Grotte de Saint Cézaire

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Natural history museum
Nature & Parks
Grotte de Saint Cézaire is a stunning cave system filled with intricate stalagmites and stalactites, offering guided tours that showcase its celebrated cave, dolmens, and barrows. The 40-minute exploration of this underground world provides a glimpse into its Roman and medieval past. The tour is informative and suitable for all ages, with the temperature inside remaining constant at 15 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
This is such a cool (both in vibes and temperature!) place to visit if you're within a 90-120 minute drive, especially since the Grotte in Monaco was/is closed. The drop from 37°C to around 17°C as you descend deeper into the caves brings instant relief and calm, particularly on a sweltering Summer or early Autumn day. The way the lighting gently illuminates the stalactites and stalagmites really enhances the beauty of these ancient formations. The rock formations look like something out of a fantasy world, with jagged, towering stalagmites rising from the ground and delicate stalactites hanging like icicles from the ceiling. The ambient lighting also makes the cave feel more expansive and reduces any potential feelings of claustrophobia by adding depth and dimension to the space—though I personally can’t vouch for this as I don’t experience it! It's a great spot to visit with friends, your partner, or the kids. Plus, there's a fun little gift shop to explore and a simple but decent restaurant/café just outside for a nice break after your tour.
Philip K — Google review
Home to some interesting underground features, and the guide truly does it justice. Humour, kindness with the kids, a great educational experience! If you're used to caves though this one probably won't fare as the best you've seen. The tour lasts about 40 mins.

We visited on a Sunday in February and it was a great time to go. Only a handful of people were on the French/English tour. The guide was approx 45 mins while we winded through the cave passages. It was well done, lots of interesting information along the way. Be careful as it can get slippery and there are some low parts that you need to crouch down. Not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. 15 degrees no matter what season. A lovely shop at the entrance to purchase souvenirs. Well worth a visit especially for children, it was such a great experience!

Beautiful jewel of an afternoon out. I would suggest trainers for this 40 minute exploration of a grotto to discover a secret underground world. The tour is about 40 minutes and is in groups of around 10. The history of the formations is fascinating and the kids loved it. The Nex door there is an accrobranche zip line facility which the kids would like, but it was raining on our visit. Drive up to St Cezaire is beautiful also and there is free parking on site.

Popularly known as Palais des Festivals et des Congres", La Croisette is about 22 km long promenade in Cannes along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea where the Cannes Film Festival is held. There is a sidewalk with hotels, casinos, brand stores, a rose garden and places with lots of shady trees where families meet and spend their quality time. There are interesting places around this place to stroll and explore. If you are falling short of time or do not have energy for a walk, then one can enjoy a small touristic city train tour to explore the nearby area. The place is dynamic with lots of hustle bustle of the tourists and locals. The evening sunsets and the night illuminations and combined with festive fireworks make this place truly romantic and mesmerizing. A must to visit when you are in France.

A stiff walk from the town is very worthwhile . This fortress, typical of Vauban, is definitely a must visit when in Provence.

The views are also exceptional and worth the climb just for the scenery.

Island

Île Sainte-Marguerite is a charming small island located just a ferry ride away from Cannes. It boasts beautiful beaches and an ancient fort, offering stunning views of the French Riviera. The island is also home to La Guerite, a renowned establishment since 1902, where visitors can enjoy exquisite dining experiences surrounded by lush Aleppo pine and eucalyptus trees.
A great one-day trip destination. A stroll around the island will take you a couple of hours. Highly recommended it outside of high tourist season.

Very nice beaches and if you like to walk around the whole island you will find some very nice spots. Food in one of the two places available was very good.

Pretty place, expect lots of hiking. There are loads of small beaches but they get busy really quickly, I spent the whole day there but I reckon 4/5 hours would be more than enough.

Beautiful island for a day trip or half day trip. Easy to get the 15 minute ferry from Cannes. There are nice walks around the island and beautiful swimming spots with crystal clear waters. Perfect place to take a picnic, relax and enjoy the views. There are a couple of food vendors for snacks and drinks. Also check out the diving / snorkeling spot with underwater statues. The area is on the opposite side of the island to the boat port. Cool experience, swimming out to find the 6 underwater statues/sculptures.

Île Sainte Marguerite is a fifteen-minute boat ride from Cannes. You can pick up your tickets directly on the quayside. The crossing is rather quiet. The island also depends on whether it's high or low season. It's clean and the landscape is well preserved. The boats come and go frequently. And the average return fare is less than €20, depending on whether you buy online or in the stalls. Buying on the spot seems cheaper.

Île Sainte-Marguerite is a natural temple, breathtaking and unique. Unfortunately, some people ruin it by parking their boats just 10 meters from the shore — something both illegal and dangerous, for swimmers and for the fragile marine environment. I expected to see the coast guard enforcing the rules, but this is Cannes: if you’re wealthy, it seems you can do whatever you want, and the local administration turns a blind eye. Sadly, the damage is already visible — much of the underwater algae is dead. A paradise like this deserves real protection, not neglect.

A beautiful and peaceful island near Cannes, known for its crystal-clear beaches and stunning sea views. Easily accessible by ferry, it’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy both nature and history. Highly recommended! 🌊🌿

I visited Île Sainte-Marguerite during my trip to Cannes, and it was such a peaceful and refreshing experience. The island is surrounded by crystal-clear blue water and has beautiful walking trails through pine trees. You can visit the old fort, enjoy the sea views, or simply sit and relax by the shore. It’s quiet, clean, and perfect for nature lovers. There are limited food options, so it’s good to carry some water and snacks. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a calm and scenic escape from the city!

The Loup valley in the Prealpes d'Azur Regional Natural Park offers picturesque Provencal landscapes, with hiking trails leading to Bois de Gourdon from Le Bar-sur-Loup village. The area also features historical sites like the castle of the Counts of Grasse and old houses in the village's historic center.

And you will be transformed and willing simply to enjoy Life and appreciate your own God-ness. Yes. I AM Goddess. Thanks Life.

Les Gorges du Loup is a beautiful canyon carved by the Loup (French for wolf) river flowing down the Alps. There is a wonderful hiking trail taking you up the canyon to the picturesque village of Gourdon - some say it is the most beautiful in France - like an eagle nest dominating the valley beneath. Up there enjoy the spectacular view spaning southwards to the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. On a clear day the snowy summits of the island of Corsica (240 km away) are in sight if you look to the south. A narrow road connects the tranquility of the wild, rugged and under-appreciated back-country from the village down to the overcrowded touristy coast.

(Translated by Google) Nice little walk along the Loup that my partner and I often do. A small criticism for dog owners who let their pets do their poop on the spot, along the path, as for those who throw it on the ground, better still who hang the little black one with the droppings inside, instead of throwing it in a bin. Shame on them 💩😖🤮 (Original) P'tite balade sympathique le long du Loup que l'on fait souvent ma compagne et moi. Un petit bémol aux propriétaires de chiens qui laissent leurs animaux faire leur caca sur place, le long du chemin, quant à ceux où celles qui jettent au sol, mieux encore qui accrochent le petit noir avec les crottes à l'intérieur, au lieu de le jeter dans une poubelle. Honte à eux 💩😖🤮

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Prom. des Anglais is a 7-km-long beachfront promenade in Nice, France, lined with palm trees and featuring a bike path. It has been a popular spot since the 18th century when English aristocrats sought refuge from winter weather. The promenade extends from the airport to Nice's old town and is home to many hotels and cafes. Visitors can enjoy seaside walks, known locally as 'the Prom,' while taking in the sea air and lively atmosphere of Nice.
Very beautiful, scenic and lively avenue along the coast with passengers walking around in numbers even at midnight. And the avenue is exceptionally bright, of course.
Quang T — Google review
There’s nothing like witnessing the sunrise during a morning run along the promenade. Ending the run by dipping my feet in the sea and listening to the waves and birds is a truly wonderful way to begin the day. It's a perfect moment of peace and connection with nature!

Great views of the bay and the city. The promenade is apparently over 7 kilometers long and offers lovely views of the water and the city. You can also get a great view of planes taking off to land and coming in at Nice airport! With so much seating available it is a fantastic spot to park up with some takeaway food and watch the world go by. It can be especially pretty at sunset. If you are visiting Nice you will probably walk along here a bunch of times

Wide, wonderful, paved walking path between the town and the sea. Sit in one of the famous blue chairs to watch the waves and the beach scene. It's an enjoyable stroll at any time of day.

Nice is a very beautiful city. I could not have enough of it. The clear blue water and the buildings are just breathe taking. Even from the airplane I could see the blue color of the sea. This city should be seen on feet, walking around is the best to see its beauty. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the long beach. It was difficult to walk with my feet in the water because it was a stone beach not sand one.

Massena Dream offers a chic and contemporary apartment rental located in the heart of Nice, France, close to the famous Place Massena. This prime location serves as an ideal base for exploring the city's rich cultural sites, beautiful beaches, and significant historical landmarks. The central square of Nice is surrounded by parks, shops, and dining options with easy access to the beach and train station. Visitors can enjoy the well-maintained surroundings adorned with lush plants and palm trees during both day and night.
Wide open areas where the surrounding restaurants and cages put out tables and seating to eat and drink outside.

Very disappointed with the way the carnival was conducted. The place itself was ok but man is there 0 information about what happens on opening night. They say its free for entry and then when you queue up suddenly everyone has tickets. They block the whole view from the sides for the carnival and hold it in a super exclusive staged area. We travelled all the way from UK for this for nothing. If people say we should have bought tickets in advance, its clearly mentioned on the website that its free on opening day and doesn't mention about any tickets!
Sujir N — Google review
Lovely area with live music regularly. We found many shops and restaurants in the area. We didn't have a chance to see if uber was well represented here because our hotel was close enough to the water as close enough to Nice Massena that we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Old city is very near. So is the castle hill. Both places I would highly recommend. The beech of course, too! We found it quite easy to communicate as English speakers. We were only in Nice 2.5 days but would happily return to this area!

If you're in the French Riviera, you clearly have to come to Nice and to visit this place. It's always full of people, a lot of places where you can seat. Thanks to the metro it's pretty easy to go there. Also most of the time there are artists which perform music.

The place was simply beautiful. There are lots and lots of services like restaurants, bars opened till night, markets, clothing markets and souvenir markets. The bus servise works also very good all around the city. You can visit a lot of places in the city like Massena square, Garibaldi Square, the old city centre, the castle, the English promenade. There are many things to do and to visit. You must Go there!!!!

Marc Chagall National Museum

National museum
Museums
The Marc Chagall National Museum is a tribute to the works of the Russian-born French artist, showcasing his paintings and other artistic creations. The museum's architecture by Andre Hermant complements Chagall's use of color and light, with large windows illuminating lithographs, sculptures, and paintings. Visitors can explore Chagall's biblical and spiritual inspirations through free audio guides in what is the largest public collection of his works worldwide.
This national museum houses a permanent exhibit of Chagall's paintings, stained glass, and mosaics. The paintings are from his biblical cycle. A documentary film illustrates the creation of the four seasons mosaic. The museum is located in a quiet park, including a cafe and restaurant.
Beat S — Google review
Nice’s museum opened by and dedicated to Marc Chagall - primarily consisting of his ‘biblical’ works, and those related to religious themes and tropes. Interesting to see this line of his work compared to some of his other more famous pieces. Not overly big, but interesting for any art lovers.
Matt W — Google review
The Marc Chagall National Museum is located in a primarily residential neighbor situated on the hills of Nice. This museum was inaugurated while Chagall was still alive and it houses several of his paintings as well as explores his famous mosaics. There are tours available on a first come first serve basis. Guillemette, our tour guide, was extremely informative sharing insights into Chagall’s history, his collaborators, and his inspirations. We learned about the process of making mosaics too from creative inception to the actual works. What’s more, there is an outdoor cafe that’s serves sweet and savory, hot and cold snacks and beverages that is also worth checking out. Keep in mind, you will be asked to remove your water bottles and any food that you bring with you so best to avoid bringing them. Recommend bringing very small bag if any at all. Spent a delightful couple of hours at the Marc Chagall museum enjoying his art and the natural surroundings. Highly recommend

Visiting the Chagall Museum in Nice was an absolute delight. Tucked away in a quiet corner of the city, it feels like stepping into a peaceful world filled with color, imagination, and poetry. The moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by Chagall’s luminous blues and dreamlike scenes that seem to glow from within. What I loved most was how personal and intimate the museum feels — it’s not overwhelming, and you can really take your time with each painting. The biblical message series is breathtaking, and the stained-glass windows add a special light that changes the whole atmosphere. The staff were welcoming, and the small garden outside is perfect for sitting for a few minutes to let everything sink in. It’s one of those places that leaves you both calm and inspired

The Marc Chagall National Museum in Nice, France together with the Matisse Museum were my unexpected finds in a vacation that was just free flowing and no detailed itinerary. At first, I was apprehensive as it was my first time to visit a museum on my own and in another country even. However, I did not regret my decision to forego seeing Cannes in favour of the great works of Chagall and Matisse all in one day! The 75 or so Euros cost of Uber (Holiday Inn Hotel - Matisse Museum - Holiday Inn - Chagall Museum - Hotel) plus tickets in both museums was definitely worth it! The Chagall Museum was inaugurated on July 7, 1973, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2023. It houses a large number of artworks donated by Chagall, his wife, and his heirs to the State of France, including the 17 Biblical paintings inspired by the books of Genesis, Exodus and Songs. The museum is located in the Cimiez district with address Av. Dr Ménard, 06000 Nice, France. It stands on a vast plot of land donated by the city of Nice. The entrance to the museum is 10 euros and is opened from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM it closes on Tuesdays. I bought my ticket in the museum without hassle and entered immediately. #MarcChagallMuseum #MarcChagall #FrenchRiviera #museum

I don’t consider myself as a very artistic person and usually not sure about how to interpret modern art. But in this gallery I did enjoy simply looking at Chagall’s masterpieces and felt a beautiful soul, an innocent mind, and curious attitude toward the world.
Yulan Z — Google review
Sadly it's in need of upkeep but the art is still spectacular. The fountain around the outside mural is empty. And the museum closes for lunch. And the red room is posed off. You can only view it from it's entrance.

Biblical Message cycle: The centerpiece, displayed over 12 walls in a distinctive rhombus configuration, delivers a striking visual narrative with intense color, spiritual depth, and dreamlike quality . Song of Songs paintings: A smaller, intimate series with red-dominated canvases blending sacred, carnal, and musical themes . Stained glass & mosaics: Notable are the stained glass in the auditorium and the Prophet Elijah mosaic overlooking a reflective pool—Chagall’s own in‑situ creations. Free parking available . Suggested visit time: At least 1 hour, more if attending an event or exploring the gardens . The Musée National Marc Chagall is a heartfelt tribute to the artist’s spiritual vision and remains one of the most authentic places to immerse in his biblical-themed art. It’s especially compelling for fans of Chagall or those seeking a serene, contemplative museum experience. For casual visitors, a one-hour visit is sufficient to appreciate its beauty and thoughtful architecture nestled in a Mediterranean garden.

Colline du Château

Park
Nature & Parks
Colline du Château, also known as Castle Hill, is a historic hilltop park in Nice that offers breathtaking views of the city and the sea. The climb up the stone steps to this hill is short but rewarding, with turquoise coasts and apricot-colored roofs spreading out before you as you ascend. From the summit, you can enjoy grand vistas of the Old Port with its yachts and sails, as well as distant views of the snow-dusted peaks of the Alps.
We reached the top by cart. The road itself is beautiful, the nature and remains that we saw prepared us for the view and the pigeons, wonderful, white ones. The view of the place is fantastic, and a large part of the park is left for children and adults to enjoy freely. A great place to spend the day. The view of the waterfall, from above, leaves an unusual impression. It may take a bit of sanding, but the experience is unforgettable.
Ana F — Google review
Wonderful place and totally worth the climb! Tip: go in the morning, the sun hits the hill on the other side. You will get better views and will avoid the crowds. Also, if you go in summer, it's way cooler!

Coming here in the rain turned out to be an excellent idea — there were almost no people around, and the views were still amazing. A bunch of viewpoints overlooking the city and the sea, walking trails, waterfalls, parks… it feels like someone was playing a video game and packed everything into one place. A beautiful experience.

The Colline du Château is also known as Castle Hill. It has several ideal lookouts / viewpoints from where you can see the best views of Nice. At the top there is even a terrace with a couple of benches, occasionally with a musician - there was a drummer when we were there. In addition to many scenic walks and viewpoints, there is also a waterfall, archeological ruins, playgrounds for children, and a cafe. It’s hard to miss seeing the Colline du Château from the famous Promenade d’Anglais and whether ascending either by steps on one side or a ramp on the other, it’s worth the effort. Spend an hour or the day as there are plenty of public restrooms and a couple of snack kiosks. Highly recommend!
Nanita — Google review
Parc de la Colline du Château ended up being one of my favorite spots in Nice. The park is absolutely beautiful—lush pathways, peaceful corners, and some of the best panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean. Whether you hike up, take the stairs, or use the elevator, the views at the top are completely worth it. I loved wandering around the ruins, the gardens, and the waterfall area. It’s the perfect place to take a break from the busier streets below and just soak in the scenery. The mix of history and nature gives the whole park a calm, charming vibe. Overall, Parc de la Colline du Château is a must-visit when in Nice—great for photos, relaxing walks, and unbeatable views of the coastline and Old Town.
Dee G — Google review
Colline du Château offers the quintessential Nice experience! Ascending to the top rewards you with arguably the most spectacular panoramic views of the Baie des Anges, the bustling port, and the terracotta rooftops of Vieux Nice. The waterfall is a delightful surprise, and the park itself is a perfect, peaceful escape from the city's energy. A must-visit spot for breathtaking scenery and a moment of calm reflection!

Amazing view point for Nice and a good day out for sure! There is a lift you can take to the top of the hill which definitely improves the accessibility. It is decently busy (but what else would you expect). Upon my visit there was 2 people I encountered who seemed to be a little pushy to get people to take pictures with their Doves in exchange for money.
Grace — Google review
Colline du Chateau, also known as Castle Hill is a wonderful walk with stunning views of Nice. The waterfall was spectacular. We were also surprised to find a couple of places at the top of the hill where you could purchase refreshments. No tickets required, the walk is free, unless of course you wish to skip the exercise and catch the little visitor train.

ISOLA 2000 is a popular ski resort located in the Alpes-Maritimes department, known for its expansive ski area and diverse set of slopes suitable for beginner and intermediate skiers. The resort offers amenities such as shops, tourist center, and accommodations conveniently located near the main road. Access to the resort from Nice airport is convenient with affordable public transportation options available.
Great place to ski/snowboard. There are places there to rent gear, buy food and sit down for a coffee/hot chocolate. I was there during February vacation and it wasn’t so crowded on the slopes. The Ski school for kids was crowded. Great variety of slopes from easy to hard. Great time and definitely recommend.

We have visited Isola in March, expected a lot of sun but have got a snowfall all 7 days long. But slopes was well trodden, staff worked hard during nights to prepare it. It's nice and quiet ski resort, with a lot of blue slopes for ski enjoying. Also there was not too many people, which is a good thing for us who love that.

Isola 2000 in the summer is a beautiful green place, they rent bicycles and you can take a lift to the very top to ride, there are not very many people, the infrastructure in this area is not very developed. We found only one supermarket working, there was nowhere to eat, June 2025

Lovely scenery and excellent facilities. However I appreciate hikers aren't their target customers because to find the trails for hikers was really difficult. It is complicated with the VTT as obviously it is a perfect destination for this type of holiday. If I had a bit more practice I would have loved to have done the circuits on a mountain bike but I'm not at that suicidal level 😉😁😁 The swimming pool was really good and there is an excellent choice of restaurants and shops. The Doctor service is brilliant along with the pharmacy who were really helpful and rescued me from a problem. There is so much to see there and I will be going back if I can. The views around there are breathtaking and a trip up the mountain needs to be done. The tourist office staff need to remember that a smile costs nothing. I had a lovely young lady who was really helpful cheerful and couldn't do enough. My wife went in there twice and both times was not impressed with the attitude or service Isola 2000 is a lovely gem hidden in the mountains and I really liked it.

Great ski resort close to Nice (1hr30). Skiing is great considering winter weather on the Mediterranean (we went from 1 degree on the mountain to 17degrees on our drive home in January). Travelled with baby under 1 years old, which can be a bit difficult to walk around the main area as there are steps and stairs everywhere. Nothing major, though, if you are there for a short time. Plenty of skiing and eating options. All reasonably priced
James S — Google review
Medium sized, friendly resort with plenty of amenities and some lovely runs, almost all of which are snow cannoned, although not a particularly massive skiable area. Very pleasant to stay in, wouldn't hesitate to return. A bit more peaceful and relaxed than some of the larger, more famous resorts, even at the weekend!

Beautiful place in the mountains just 1:45 minutes from Nice. Temperature during summer is around 20C compared to 34C in Nice. Teleseage funicular is open to get to the top of the mountain either for walk or with bike to drive down. Ticket price for funicular is very moderate.
