This place is fantastic. We visited in 2024 on an organised trip and ran out of time so came back again this year. The animals are well cared for and they are very active. Great for adults and children alike and good value in my opinion. We allowed two hours this time but we could have done with two and a half.

Well worth a visit. A huge selection of turtles and tortoises in beautiful surroundings. A large portion of the enclosures are under shade, which was very welcome. In more open areas there were two overhead walkways that sprayed a fine mist underneath. Food prices seemed reasonable. Lots of parking (free). And don’t worry, if you see an upturned turtle they can right themselves.

There are really a lot of interesting types of turtles. We spent about 2.5 hours on the visit. But at the end, the kids got bored with just watching the turtles. But we also saw and caress two cats.

Seems like animals Are being taken care of and they have enough space . Well kept Environment. One star less because we couldn’t see all animals. Especially wanted to see an alligator turtle :/ and some animals have been moved to a greenhouse (probably too cold for them ). There’s a small cafe . Service friendly

Excellent turtle zoo. Lots of species in very well done enclosures.

Beautiful turtle and tortoise zoo with a huge amount of different turtles and tortoises in a very well kept park.

My second visit. Very excited well organised and educational. Parking space a bit crowded, even on weekdays.

Makes for a beautiful, and interesting drive. The roads are very narrow in places and many of the passing points get filled with other road users opportunistically using them as parking so they can get photos of the views, which means you need to be careful of people on the road as well. We ended up driving through in both directions at about 6pm. The roads weren't too busy and worth it for the views. We then parked at the tête de chien (small roadside parking on both sides of the road, space for 10-15 cars in total.) The walk from there is very pleasant and marked with yellow spray paint at key turning points. If you are confident and careful enough, there are some very impressive views to be had by taking a few steps off the track and pushing through the shrubs at certain places.

Its a beautiful, astonishing road along the west coast of Corsica but be ready for a very patience and careful drive! There could be goats&cows on tje road as well as very vwry narrow road above the coast. Be careful.

Spectacular rocks with the street moving in between. Parc the car on the side of the road and take a little walk along the street. Pay attention to driving cars.

A must see when youre visiting Corsica, breathtaking sculptrual rock formations cascading above the sea.

Beautiful drive from Piana to Porto through the Calanques de Piana. Outstanding views.

Quite nice location, small curvy roads, we passed by on our way to the south east of Corsica in September outside the saison but still a lot of traffic, especially the camper vans .Landscape and ambience is beautiful, traffic is annoying

Awesome eroded red rock formations, many looking ready to break loose! Beautiful views with sheer drops to the sea. Grab any and all small parking spots then walk usually less than 100m to get best views. Drive careful on the many blind corners!

Beautiful gorges with a cool river

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. A walk suitable for adults and children but not to be underestimated. I recommend suitable rackets and shoes. There are two ways to reach Lake Melu, the one on the right is with a via ferrata, decidedly more challenging than the other, but not adequately signposted. (Original) Esperienza bellissima. Passeggiata adatta a grandi e piccini ma non da sottovalutare. Consiglio racchette e scarpe adeguate. Ci sono due vie per raggiungere il lago di melu, quella a destra è con ferrata, decisamente più impegnativa rispetto all'altra, ma non segnalato adeguatamente.

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful gorges I have ever had the opportunity to see! The color of the water is incredible! Don't hesitate to move forward a little on the road to find nice places with a little fewer people. Beyond 2km after the campsite nothing special apart from the car park which is the starting point for visiting the lakes. (Original) Les plus belles gorges que j'ai jamais eu l'occasion de voir ! La couleur de l'eau est incroyable ! Il ne faut pas hésiter à avancer un peu sur la route pour trouver des coins sympas avec un peu moins de monde Au delà de 2km après le camping rien de particuliers à part le parking qui est le point de départ pour la visite des lacs.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent place, as if frozen by time. Absolutely worth discovering. The natural bowls or swimming pools are a real treat in hot weather. Water a little cool but pleasant. Be careful, the road that runs along the gorges is barely wider than a cycle path. Big danger to cross paths... with the void below. (Original) Endroit magnifique, comme figé par le temps. A découvrir absolument. Les cuvettes ou piscines naturelles sont un vrai régal par temps chaud. Eau un peu fraîche mais agréable. Attention, la route qui longe les gorges est à peine plus large qu'une piste cyclable. Gros danger pour se croiser... avec le vide en contrebas.

(Translated by Google) Splendid uncontaminated corner where you can spend a few days in complete relaxation. Along the stream there are many natural pools that are not very frequented. The water is very cold and the road to get there is not the best but still it remains one of the most beautiful places in all of Corsica. (Original) Splendido angolo incontaminato in cui poter passare qualche giornata in completo relax. Lungo il torrente si trovano tantissime piscine naturali poco frequentate. L'acqua è molto fredda e la strada per arrivarci non è delle migliori ma comunque resta uno dei luoghi più belli di tutta la Corsica.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasant walk in the Restonica gorges.. exceptional place with its waterfalls, its colors, its small natural swimming pools.. Take a good pair of special river shoes 😉. .. (Original) Ballade très agréable dans les gorges de la Restonica.. lieu exceptionnel par ses cascades, ses couleurs, ses petites piscines naturelles.. Prenez une bonne paire de chaussures spéciale rivière 😉. ..

(Translated by Google) Beautiful hike to do absolutely if you are passing through Corte. It is divided into two phases, the first is accessible to all, the second requires a certain physical fitness (short ferrata passage) (Original) Belle randonnée à faire absolument si vous êtes de passage à Corte. Elle s'articule en deux phases, la première est accessible à tous, la seconde demande une certaine forme physique (court passage en ferrata)

Very beautiful, red rocks with high cliffs falling straight into the ocean. Beautiful surroundings and the feeling of "middle of nowhere". Highly recommended

Amazing and beautiful area to visit. Clear water for snorkling with a lot of fish and interesting structure under water. Great landscape with huge and different colored rocks. But please remember, its a nature reservate so no garbage! No fishing! No fast driving with boots!

I visit this park in a speed boat. It was a nightmare. And about the park and rocks...well it's a problem of taste.

The most amazing place to visit in Corsica. Just choose carefully your boat agency (even if they look all bad...)

Stunning place to visit, 100% must do in Calvi

I have never seen such a beautiful natural spectacle. book a boat and take the complete tour! it will exceed your expectations

Beautiful sea and great unesco site. We went kayaking and saw some turtles

Absolutely loved it! I hadn't spend that much time in a museum. They displayed several objects, machinery and tools used in the Corsican daily life of the last century. The history of the beautiful Cittadella is well explained and it's accessible only through the museum.

This informative and enjoyable ethnographical museum showcased the life of the Corsican people. The audio-guide in multiple languages was a great addition, enhancing the experience. The comfortable environment, with good air and AC, made it a pleasant visit. The polite and friendly staff further contributed to the positive atmosphere. The ticket price of 5.5 euros per adult was reasonable. The museum also delved into the lives of women on the island, providing valuable educational insights. Included in the ticket was the opportunity to explore the citadel, adding to the overall experience. Overall, it was great and recommended visit. 😊

It is a nice museum founded in old fortress, but there is one problem. All in french, There is a lot to see of old Corsican Life, how they lived centuries ago. And the ticket was only 3€ so that is a plus. From museum you can follow the path to the old castle.

The museum itself may not be quite interesting but it is the way to go to citadel which has magnificent views. Best to take train from Corte railway station. Park your car for free there. Museum will be half price (2.5 euros per person) with train tickets (7.5 euros per person)

I would not go to Corte just for this museum but if you are here for other reasons, the cheap ticket definitely makes it worth a short visit. I found at least three very very interesting items in the museum and a tour of the fortress is rather enjoyable. (5 euro)

Interesting museum. I was hoping for more focus on the history of Corsica but the other exhibitions were interesting as well. Not much in English.

Very fun museum, it shares a lot of the history here in the fortress and also about Corsica it self. It shares info on how they lived. Also nice to go inside to cool down a bit. To get down to the nitty griddy , fun museum to visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at La Villa Calvi. Our room was excellent; the views from the hotel in general were wonderful; the service was excellent, and the food was top-notch! Had dinner there were some problems with wasps the management very kindly supplied us with electric flyswatters which did the job!!!

The most beautiful hotel - the view from breakfast was the best viewpoint of our trip in Corsica. Everything was perfect.

We spent a week at La villa Calvi and it was a pure happiness. The staff is super nice and make sure you are getting everything you need. The breakfast is amazing ! We loved every single things of this hotel and will come back !

La Villa is a contradiction , it is a five star hotel but many facets of its service are distinctly lacking . Firstly the positives - excellent location - clean and airy and modern - good spacious bright clean rooms , the house keeping staff are excellent, friendly, enthusiastic and professional - food is good , albeit I have had much better elsewhere. - the young lady running the restaurant was excellent - very professional and friendly. - the drivers were excellent- particularly Euan The disappointments - despite being a resident we were unable to book a table despite being flexible on time - the wine waiter needs retraining !! He pushed for our wine order even though we hadn’t ordered / decided on our food ! He made no attempt to be helpful , he overfilled the glasses , he even wanted to poor a second different wine into the same glasses we were frankly appalled and he argued the point. He was rude and arrogant . - the room service menu for children lacked imagination . It was also Problematic that hot food was not available until after 7.30pm ( the food actually arrived at 8.50 pm). - a meal served to one of our friends had paper in it !! The waitress apologised , but for a 5 star rating I would have expected the owner / manager / chef to come out and apologise- indeed the chef did come out and came over to us but then proceeded to talk to two people on the next table for 15 minutes with his back to us - a opportunity lost! - my wife and my daughter were at the beach but the hotel refused to come and collect them ( having done so 2 days earlier ) - the person was unhelpful , didn’t offer to organise a taxi or make any suggestions This hotel did not live up to its 5 star rating , please improve the consistency of your service level - attention to detail and training are core requirements.

We visited Calvi, some of us coming from Asia, some from Paris, and were looking forward to a dinner at La Villa. Not only was it very difficult to book a table, in spite of the restaurant being half empty when we eventually visited last May, but the experience was very disappointing. No welcome at the hotel entrance, very slow service -a nice lady seemed to be alone dealing with several tables- nothing of what’s expected from a 5 star hotel restaurant at this price. The sommelier was most unpleasant: arrogant, rude, not interested to explain local wines, only focused on filling and re-filling our glasses to the max -spilling wine on the table right from the beginning- even before any bread or other food had been brought to the table. I wonder if the experience can even get worse during high season when the hotel is busier. It’s a shame to offer such a poor experience at this price in a beautiful location.

This is a lovely peaceful hotel, with a magnificent view of Calvi. Very friendly and helpful staff with large well appointed rooms. The grounds and pool are well presented and it is in walking distance of the centre of Calvi, although it is uphill on the way back. Although they could lose the rubber ducks in the pool in front of the restaurant! (Some smart designers idea of being funny)

Nice hotel, room and view. However seriously let down by a few points: 1) food choice extremely limited 2) transfer from airport not organised properly; 3) air con in gym very weak; 4) shuttle car not at level expected; 5) staff -some lovely and some very unhelpful; 6) beach utterly dreadful. Overall much to like but could be so much better with attention to a few areas. Also not in the slightest kid friendly with very small pool and surrounding area.

Nice for an afternoon visit. Little streets with cafes and wine bars plus some nice views.

Giant bastion, when you aproach those walls from land it is like OMG. Inside is a small town with a church of John the Baptist. If you are lucky to get a parking place bellow the walls, otherwise park before the marine and have a nice walk through turist streets. Once inside encircle the walls and enjoy the view.

Lovely place to visit, just be prepared for alot of steps and steep gradients but the view is worth it.

Beautiful citadelle, great spots for sunset drinks, and a few very nice places to eat. Plenty more on the lower town too.

Wonderful ancient surroundings and winding streets, fantastic view over the citt

Not as lively or well maintained as Bonifacio but still worth walking the whole place

Worthwhile visit strolling through the ancient streets of the citadelle

Very nice beach but (at this moment) difficult to reach. The first pathway to the right at the L'Agriate sign is full of mud/water and not accecible. If you continu following the concrete road, near the Solar-panel there you will find multiple trails going down to the beach. But beware, there is no bridge so you have to cross a lagune to get to the beach.

It was a windy day, but the sun was shining and we had an amazing time there. To reach the beach from the parking you have to cross by foot a pond, so be careful if you have children or loads of stuff like chairs or umbrellas! The parking is big and easy to reach by car. The walking from the beach to the park is between 10-15 minutes.

The beach is not easy to access — the path is quite difficult, especially if you're carrying beach equipment or have kids with you. If you have mobility issues, it's probably best to skip this spot and look for a more accessible beach. On a calm day, it might be a beautiful place to relax, but unfortunately, today was very windy and it turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Beautiful beautiful beach! We got there at around 2pm and stayed a few hours, it was a bit crowded but thankfully it’s really long and wide. What’s most stunning is the flora and the vegetation that surrounds the beach! You can see some cows and cross the small river though a bridge (tho is a bit broken so be careful). You have to walk for around 10/15 minutes from the parking lot (free, big, w/ trees). Once you see the sign of la Plage you have to take the path that goes downhill, at first we did not notice, as there is no arrow and kept walking on the main road.

Wild and fun beach! Often with little waves, so it's good to go with some sort of board. The trail to get there is also very beautiful

In mid July 2024 it was warm water and clean. Not very crowded as beach is super long and if you want to find a place where there is less people you can walk further. Main part with sand, north east part with rocks, boulders where you can find some spots to jump to the water. Be aware there is no shade at all. 15 walk from parking easy enough for kids and most of elderly people unless they can't stand the heat.

Nice beach! Was here in Winter so access was a bit more difficult due to lots of water / swamp. But great walk around for hiking and little bays. Bring enough water as surely it get scorching hot in Summer.

The best beach on the north coast of Corsica, to my opinion. Not crowded, vast and clean, with small greenish black pebbles, surrounded with green hills. We asked locals about asbestos issues there, and they told us it was all a myth and it was perfectly safe to swim there (also, there were no any warning signs at the beach). There’s a small car park on the north side of the beach with a rugged natural path to the sea (not push chair friendly).

Great beach, one of the most interesting in North. Even though I visited it in August, there were no so many people and it's quite rare if you consider it was the 14th (so the busiest day of the year!). No sand but very small green/dark stones. Please remind you could reach the beach only after 15 min walking and you can't park in the near proximity.. It's not difficult at all but you must consider it. Please also keep in mind there are no facilities there. Overall, the beach it's fantastic and worth the visit

The beach is lovely, but its true beauty reveals itself when seen from the village

The village above is definitely worth a stop for the totally stunning view and to visit the interesting church. But better not sit on the beach or get in the water (it's a long way down anyway), you can see it's clouded with dust from a disused asbestos mine at the northern end.

Awesome beach, unique with its black rock coverage. Some places the decent into the watet can be steep, but no big deal. Attitional bonus that there are rocks far out, så you dont need to worry about dragging sand everywhere. Also, on sunny days the rocks get super hot, highly reccomend shoes you can bathein or that can stand the water.

Great beach with thick dark grey sand/tiny stones. The sea becomes really deep suddenly. It seems like the cost was modified in order to have a human height depth. You need to do a long winding road in order to arrive to the beach.

Beautiful to see. In August is really too hot to go all the way down but the walk seems lovely!

Very nice street with shops and restaurants 😃

One of the most beautiful cities in Europe that I have visited. It really exudes unusual beauty and romance. The buildings are beautiful and I really like that kind of architecture. Along the coast of Cannes, there are beaches along almost the entire length. They are very clean and it is a real pleasure to swim. Lots of restaurants for every taste and pocket. And of course La Croisette! Beautiful! I will be happy to visit Cannes again!

Quiet off season. Nice for a walk and a wonderful view.

The street you can find all very fine brands

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.

Luxury boulevard of Cannes, beautiful beach clubs/ restaurants, luxury shops.. it has also the top rated restaurants.. only that its extremely crowded.. so its not the right place to relax and enjoy the sea view.

Lovely promenade by the sea. How much I love this city! 🤩🤩🤩

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!

Beautiful pebble beach with public shower options

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.

Great for walking, jogging, people watching. Mostly crowded. Sunsets can be beautiful 🌇

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.

Every visitor to Nice must visit here. The sun and beach, this is Mediterranean life.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

One of the nicest parts of Nice I visited (pun intended). I was there during the Fifa women's world cup and Rngland was playing, all the expats were out in force. It was enjoyable.

City centre good for hangout It is well connected by tram, busses and even Nice central train station. This is large square with lots of activities and entertainment. Many shops and restaurants are located alongside this square. Sea beach is on walkable distance.

Lovely place for kids chill out in hot days. Two down point though: locals take dogs for a ride in the middle of kids playing and some others smoking closing by where there are kids around.

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.

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.

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.

Contrary to what is indicated, the Cocteau Museum is closed down since several years (due to storm damage) and looks abandoned. Part of the collection can be visited in the nearby "Bastion". The original Cocteau Museum building was anyway not a brilliant addition to the beautiful city of Menton, so let's hope that it will simply be razed one day.

On the promenade you will admire the magnificent architecturally modern building that houses the Jean Cocteau museum (Musee Jean Cocteau). It contains 2000 works by Jean Cocteau, the multi-talented French artist, painter, poet and director. He lived a large part of his life in Mendon and when he died he donated his works to the city. The Museum will delight those who visit it, especially art lovers.

Amazing art in a wonderful city. Entry is free the first Sunday of every month.

The website says there is an exhibition. I found a closed place. If the exhibition was moved, They could leave a message .

Very interesting exhibition of Dufy upstairs and Cocteau downstairs. Definitely worth going to see.

One of my favorite cities Beautiful museums

Museum is closed. It is highly unprofessional they don't bother updating their status.

Spent 1 night with 1 tent here. The view is great, staff is friendly. The campsite has decent and clean showers and toilets. You can easily access by foot from the town, but it is a steep and sweaty hike in the summer! 20 euros for the night (solo, 1 tent, 1 night, no car). Slightly noisy depending on where your spot is because you can hear cars/motorcycles from the roads.

Nice location for train excursions to nice and Monte Carlo as well as the town itself. Bathrooms older and not clean. Not even toilet paper provided. A bit pricey at Euro 48 per night off season. Approach is a bit challenging for larger motorhomes.

Camping with a great view to the sea. Great showers. Soap for the toilet but no toilet paper. Very expansive (20 euro for small tent and one person, I think 27 for 2) very nice receptionist. Stayed here for 3 nights at first, next year for 1 night and then again for 6, so I totally recommend it. Would come back if I can. Great sunrises at the end of September (beginning of September they come from the mountain), so you should wake up early :)

Great campsite in a great part of the French Riviera. We have returned to the campsite having spent 4 nights in our campervan last year. The facilities are kept clean and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. Steep walk up to the campsite but it doesn’t take long.

Very noisy. Hard to sleep. Seems to be more of a park ground for cars to drive in and out than a camping… it‘s streets all around d the camp ground. Over priced. Not warm welcoming.

Lovely campsite in Old Menton. Great welcome from staff. Great pitch overlooking sea. Snack bar. Facilities clean. Not noisy. Only downside is that it is located at the top of a lot of steps.

Very helpful and kind reception staff. The location is exceptional with a breathtaking view. The campsite has everything that you need, highly recommended.

Such a lovely walk 😻😻

The pier is great. The town beaches are not: we could not find any free swimming the first day of our day and only very limited free swimming on the second day. Also - the water could have been cleaner.

Very beautiful point of view..romantic and is a nice walk through the city. Very recommend

Nice but when I was there it was closed for same music festival.

Beautiful view of Alassio. Usually a bit windy also in case of a hot day. It's possible to dive off a diving board, with a ladder to climb. Under the Molo that's are a lot of fishes, mussels ans sea ​​urchins. It seems to be in a aquarium. Highly recommended because very suggestive.

Amazing

Breathtakingly full Moon 🌕 Gorgeous 💓

It’s ok - a brick wall along the side of a busy street covered with 100’s of tiles. There are some interesting tiles but 95% mean nothing to a non-Italian visitor. Small monument to Nelson who was involved in a sea battle against the French (obviously) in the bay of Alassio in 1795 which I was not aware of.

Interesting artifact in the middle of the wonderful and charming town of Alassio. Between all the "normal" people, it is nice to spot some names of really famous persons.

Mural of tiles on one sidewalk. Nice for some photos. Interesting but not jaw-dropping.

Small and nice stop while walking around Alassio, you can discover the couple statue and many memories from cities and people all around.

Visited Muretto di Alasssio a few weeks back when we were in Pietro Ligure for the weekend. The food was fantastic and the staff were great

Its small wall and beside this you have a small park to rest. Spend good time at the beach !

Alessio is really lovely, a haunt of Nelson and Hemingway amongst others. The people are kind and gentle; the town layout is idyllic. They say avoid the school summer holidays when it gets overrun.

Let’s start with the one and only positive thing, the cave was absolutely gorgeous and enormous. On the other hand, the trip was quite on the expensive side and the guide was awful to say the least. Our group contained about 30 people while only like the first 10 could hear what the guide was rambling on about. All this in Italian while he asked if there were English people and we said that we were. So despite him knowing there were multiple foreign people coming along he just talked only in Italian which we couldn’t understand at all. The tour was about 2-2,5 hours and hence the experience being not so great overall.

It is fun but a lot of stairs, I recommend this for people who like to sport and I don't recommend this for people who can't climb a lot of stairs

Beautiful caves, well worth the ride. The guide was fluent in Italian and French, but not so much English. The commentary was therefore limited, but I didn't mind. If you have difficulty walking, think again before going there.

It's very interesting and amazing place the tour guide is very gentle and he explained well

Incredible place! The magnificence of the cave can’t be shown in any pictures or videos. Worth to go. Many stairs. Not recommended for people with disabilities. The guide speaks perfect Italian and French but translation to English is not fully done. Anyway absolutely recommended

It's a magnificent cave, with full guided tour inside. Breath taking scene inside

The caves are great. They do have a good written description in English by the desk But the tour is done all in Italian. even if the tour was done in Italian language a was a bit disappointed because there wasn't so. Much information even in Italian language. They do have good reception with bar and clean toilet

Pretty beach with nice views. If you’re not around I am not sure if it’s worth any effort to go there specifically.

Lill bit overrated. Just go 2 km more and you get better beach, less crowded

Wow. Just wow. Parking is very difficult. But if you can grab a spot it's amazing. Swimming with mask is like being in aquarium. Stones can be difficult to maneuver, 7€ shoes from Decathlon did a great job.

Nice beach, water is clear good for snorkelling. No very easy to park around, €15 (all day) on the back close to the mountain.

One of my all time favorite beaches in Liguria

From the top you have the best view ever...got in there is quite easy with an e-bike. Following the 24h Finale’s path is impossible to lose this spot

We loved it, even saw a squid swimming along a few steps into the water.

This amazing Sanctuary is unsurprisingly one of the best known tourist attractions in Piedmont, whose elliptical dome is the largest in the world. Indeed, the "Santuario Basilica Regina Montis Regalis", appointed in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, has the largest masonry elliptical dome in the world. Following miraculous healings, the place became in 1594 a place of devotion to the representation of the Virgin and Child, painted on a votive station. The complex has its origin in a votive pillar on which is decorated a fresco of the 15th century representing the Virgin and Child, made to promote the good cooking of the bricks. A prodigious hunting accident made this site an increasingly frequent pilgrimage place, so much so that the Duke Charles Emmanuel I of Savoie Commandita the construction of a large sanctuary in 1596. The sanctuary was to welcome the many pilgrims and become a place intended for the tombs of the family but the mausoleum of the house of Savoy was then transferred to the Basilic de Superga. However, its construction experienced a fairly long gestation ... And once again, it was Francesco Gallo who pulled chestnuts out of the fire by achieving the feat of building, in 1728, the imposing elliptical dome, 74 meters high. It is said that when we had to dismantle the finished dome reinforcement, given the enormity of the work, the workers refused to remove the supports for fear of a collapse and Gallo had to go to dismantle the scaffolding to demonstrate the stability of the building! But this magnificent elliptical dome, with unique characteristics, was finally completed in 1733. Since when the architect and the Duke were both died, the construction stopped and the work did not resume until several years later ... The frescoes of the pictorial work of more than 6,000 square meters, of baroque inspiration, were painted by Felice Biella and Mattia Bortoloni between 1746 and 1748. The “Magnificat” project allows today to admire their fantastic work as close as possible and to visit this extraordinary dome and reach the lantern, 60 meters high ! This majestic monumental complex also includes a Cistercian monastery, currently used as a structure of accommodation, and "palazzata", semi-octogonal portico on which shops and catering places, as well as the Ufficio Turistico. Finally, on September 8, on the occasion of the solemn celebration of the Nativity of Marie, we can participate in the "will be Madona", one of the oldest and important traditional Piedmont fairs.

A place not to miss. It's a breathtaking dome in a very endearing city. With the mountain outlined in the horizon it is really a must go in the area.

Absolutely breathtaking! And what marvellous acoustics for the beautiful historical organ.

We decided to spend Easter in the Provinces of Cuneo, and our first stop was here, at the Sanctuary, it looks amazing and majestic, it is one of the most famous in the region of Piedmont and the biggest in the world, the elliptical dome has wonderful frescoes, really a nice place to visit and see it for yourself and not just in photos, the place is sorrounded by arcades with shops and bars.

Beautiful cathedral/sanctuary in the small but beautiful town of Vicoforte. Ezylearn Languages Academy tour of Italy

Really a hidden gem. Extraordinary experience being at 52 meters above the ground floor

Super beautiful view. There is a short tour climbing up to the top of the church, visitors should take it.

Super

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk ... but it could be so much better. 4 years after the storm that had destroyed it in several places and still to be finished 👏. Total absence of benches along the way 😢 I don't find it very hospitable. The worst thing is the lack of distinction between the pedestrian and the cycling path ... leaving the latter free to run anywhere without respecting pedestrians. Very dangerous. The landscape pays off but as usual ... unfinished !!! 🤬 (Original) Una bellissima passeggiata... ma potrebbe essere molto meglio. A 4 anni dalla mareggiata che l'aveva distrutta in più punti e ancora da finire 👏. Totale assenza di panchine durante il percorso 😢 non lo trovo molto ospitale. La cosa peggiore è la mancanza di distinzione fra il percorso pedonale e quello ciclistico... Lasciando libertà a questi ultimi di correre ovunque senza rispettare i pedoni. Molto pericoloso. Il paesaggio ripaga ma come al solito... incompiuta!!! 🤬

(Translated by Google) The walk deserves 5 stars. It's a really nice place to walk, beautiful beaches and fantastic view.. But to be honest, something could be improved. Along the way there are very few benches, and being the walk itself quite long and without much shade, this could be a problem. There is also no bicycle lane, which can lead to collisions between cyclists and pedestrians. (Original) La passeggiata merita 5 stelle. È un posto davvero piacevole per passeggiare, spiagge stupende e vista fantastica.. Però, ad essere sinceri, qualcosa si potrebbe ottimizzare. Durante il percorso ci sono davvero poche panchine, ed essendo la passeggiata in se abbastanza lunga e senza molta ombra, ciò potrebbe essere un problema. Inoltre non esiste un pista per biciclette, il ché può provocare scontri tra ciclisti e pedoni.

It’s a beautiful villa with a park and a few ponds. You will find turtles and fish and ducks in the ponds playing around. There was a beautiful villa which was closed when we visited and a greenhouse and was closed and seemed empty as well. The park is a great place to chill.

Very nice park to visit. Wild mushrooms, animals and so on...

looks like a perfect park for the whole family: nice spots for "italian" photos, lovely animals for kids.

Great place for entertainment I really like it .

It's a really nice ambience , nice place to go strolling around ,, but the park for the kids can used a little bit of attention , it's a bit dirty and need a bit of colour since the colour faded .. other than that is a nice place

Love this place. There is a good playground for kids. There are nice paths in the park. There is a historic beautiful villa in the center of the park with a wonderful panorama on sorroundings.

Very nice and wide green area a few meters from the sea. Ancient buildings and lots of trees. Ideal to spend a family day with kids under the wonderful Riviera'sun.
