Nice sandy beach, mostly clean and with transparent water. Some good places to eat nearby. Busy, but still okay during the week. Avoid it in weekends. Lot of youngsters (you know where they come from) that don't know how to behave and no police at sight to control them.

This beach is nice however we preferred the other beaches in Antibes. The water gets deep very quickly and we had to watch with the kids. Sand was soft and nice to play in. There were lifeguards on duty and washroom near by.

This is our second vacation here. The beaches are free, with crystal-clear waters, lifeguards, and showers. We didn't expect it to be crowded in June, but given the location, it is.

Lovely area of the Cote D'Azur to be based in. Beaches are clean, feels safe to walk around and lively vibe at night to sit on the beach with some drinks and a take away to watch the sunset

Great sand beach, very quiet in September, 30 min from Nice

A beautiful beach with fine light sand, you can easily stick an umbrella in it (unlike stony beaches elsewhere). The beach is long and relatively narrow, but you can always find a spot. Places reserved for hotels alternate here with places for the public. The sea is clear and you can see the bottom and the fish beautifully. The bottom slopes slowly and there is no great drop. Lifeguard supervision during the day. It is advisable to check reports of jellyfish, during our holiday they were only on the last day. Negatives (why I don't give 5 stars) - toilets only on the west side, changing cabins do not exist. Beach cleaning is also minimal. Too bad Juan-les-Pin town hall obviously doesn't care much.

The best white sand beach in French Riviera, suited for families, especially with small kids

Le Sentier du Littoral in Cap d’Antibes is an absolutely amazing coastal path, taking about two hours to complete. Be prepared because much of the walk is right by the sea, and you might find yourself in your bathing suit, which can be a little tricky and uncomfortable at times. But trust me, it’s totally worth it. The views are simply breathtaking: endless shades of blue, dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea, and wild, untouched nature all around you. Every turn reveals a new postcard-perfect scene that makes you want to stop and take it all in. I truly left a piece of my heart on that path. It’s one of those rare places where you feel completely connected to nature and the beauty of the world. Truly wonderful, and a must for anyone visiting the area.

2025-August: renovation on the ‘white’ segment: The usual ‘Loop ‘ is currently interrupted at the (baie des milliardaire) so the ‘white’ segment is only 400n long. Which leaves a good 1h40 of breathtaking hike. From the (phage de la Garoupe Beach) to the (Chemin des Douaniers - Chemin de la Croé)? The hike ends on s pebble beach.

This was a gorgeous *HIKE* (and I’m emphasizing hike because I think so many people who come here think this is a walk to beaches). Be sure to bring sturdy shoes, water, sunscreen and snacks; then be prepared to carry it all back out. We thoroughly enjoyed our hike along this section of Le Sentier du Littoral. A large portion of the hike is through jagged and uneven rocks, so I would not recommend this trail for those who have poor balance. The swimming was great, and we wish we brought a snorkel and goggles with us! The water is crystal clear, the foliage is gorgeous, and we saw lots of marine and wildlife. There were not beaches, but rather accessible rocky outcrops that had stairs carved in that lead to accessible points to swim at. I would highly recommend this route for your visit to Antibes!

This is a lovely walk, taking you all around the edge of the Cap. You will need shoes with a good grip, and a bag with some fluids, sun screen.

Amazing hike around the cape, beautiful views, multiple amazing stops for a picnic, and several great swimming areas as long as the sea cooperates. I took the train from Nice to Antibes, then took bus #2 to the fontain bus stop. Pack a lunch, make sure you bring towel and swim suit, and enjoy an amazing hike.

Beautiful moderate hike on the coast of Natives. We started at Billionares Bay - get the Bus 82 from Antibes station and get off at Fontaine then walk the road down to the beach. Swim for a bit then start your hike. The path is pretty straightforward but I used the All Trails app for accuracy which was good. Hike took just over an hour and we ended at Plage Garoupe which is a small sandy beach before walking back to the bus stop to Antibes station. Yes there are a lot of stones at a certain part so good/sturdy shoes are recommended. However I did it in water shoes and saw some others do it in flip flops so we could jump into the clear blue water along the hike and dry off as you continue walking due to the hot sun. Just take it slow on the rocks if you’re not wearing appropriate footing. Would definitely recommend this hike but take water and snacks as you will get tired and sweaty.

An amazingly beautiful place. Can tranquilize the most upset and volatile mind. Even the sun wasn't out and it was drizzling, but the beauty of the sea against the rocks and so close can't be compared. You can keep your swimming wear close as there are a couple of places where you can take a dip, but most of the places you gotta be careful. However, I wish I could live here forever.

As a lover of art, I travelled far to witness the amazing art museum of the great artist Pablo Picasso. I was not disappointed as it not only offered to view his work and other artists, it also had magnificent views of the mediteranean sea in the old town of Antibes, at the Château Grimaldi. Warning to those who don't like heights and lots of steps, my knees had quite a bit of a challenge.

We visited the Picasso Museum in Antibes during busy July and only waited about 15 minutes outside. No need to buy the tickets in advance. A friendly staff lady kept us cool with cold water mist and made us laugh with her French jokes. The museum sits right by the beach next to the Antibes cathedral, offering gorgeous views from every window. The highlight for me was Picasso’s cool collection of pottery plates, which felt very alive. The museum also showcases a diverse mix of local contemporary artists and abstract expressionists from Picasso’s time. We spent about two relaxed hours there; inspiring for any artist . Come and see it for yourself, wear sunscreen be openminded and you’ll surely enjoy it!

For me, this is a 3 storey museum with a shop. There's two floors of random artists then the Picasso art is on the top floor and it's very basic to say the least. I spent 12 euros to do this and was in/out in 10 minutes. I'd recommend the Matisse museum in Nice moreso than this. If you queue up at 2pm, you can buy a ticket from the tourist office for a queue jump for €15. Otherwise you could be queuing up for 30-45 minutes for a quick experience.

A must see in Antibes but perfectly doable in an hour. Small museum with Picasso works on the top floor and a terrace with sculptures. Expect to queue but it went fairly quickly. Centrally placed so perfect to add into a day trip.

A must-visit for art lovers, especially if you’re a fan of Picasso. The Musée Picasso in Antibes is set inside the historic Château Grimaldi, with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. It’s a relatively small museum, but it holds a focused and powerful collection of Picasso’s work created during his stay here after World War II. Some of the pieces were made using recycled materials, due to the scarcity of supplies at the time, which adds a layer of depth and historical context. The sculpture terrace is a highlight, with expressive works displayed against a beautiful sea backdrop. You’ll also find other artists represented, including contemporary works that add variety to the experience. The layout is clean and well-organized, and the building itself is full of character. That said, there are a few downsides. The museum was extremely hot during our visit, with little to no air conditioning, even though it was 34°C outside. It made the experience uncomfortable and rushed, which is unfortunate for a cultural space where people want to take their time. In the summer, you may also have to queue outside in full sun, sometimes for more than 30 minutes, which could be better managed. Staff are friendly, the space is accessible with elevators, and the facilities were clean. At €12 per ticket, it’s well priced for what you get. Despite the heat and the wait, the museum is a gem for anyone interested in Picasso’s work, art history, or simply exploring something unique in a stunning location. With a few improvements, this could easily be a five-star experience.

Well-Presented Museum but Needs Better Multilingual Support Accessibility & Location: Musée Picasso is conveniently located and easy to access, whether by public transport or on foot. The surrounding area is clean, safe, and well-kept, making the approach pleasant for all visitors. Signage was clear, entrances and exits were easy to find, and the pathways were manageable even for families, elderly visitors, or children. Entry & Organization: The ticketing process was smooth and efficient, and security checks moved quickly without delays. Staff at the entrance were polite and welcoming, ensuring a stress-free start to the visit. It was unclear whether maps or printed information were provided, but the overall organization of the museum was solid and visitor-friendly. Ambience & Presentation: The atmosphere inside was calm and enjoyable. The lighting and layout enhanced the artwork, creating a clear flow through the exhibits. The museum was spotless, with all spaces well-maintained and free of clutter or damage. Temperature and crowd control were well-managed, and visitors could comfortably view works without feeling rushed. The historic architecture complemented the modern art beautifully, adding to the visual and emotional experience. Exhibits / Features / Attractions: The exhibits were impressive and well-presented, showcasing Picasso’s artistic range. However, explanations for paintings were primarily in French, which made it difficult for non-French-speaking visitors to fully appreciate the context and detail of each piece. Considering France’s international tourism appeal, adding English translations (or at least bilingual summaries) would significantly enhance accessibility. The collection itself was strong but not particularly unique compared to other major Picasso museums. Photography was allowed and managed respectfully by staff. Staff & Visitor Support: Staff were visible throughout the museum and available to assist when needed. Facilities such as restrooms and shop were clean and well-maintained, ensuring a comfortable visit. Value & Experience: The museum offered good value for the price of admission. The experience was enjoyable, educational, and worth the time spent. While the lack of English descriptions limited full engagement, the overall visit remained rewarding for anyone interested in Picasso’s art. ⭐ 4 / 5

The Musée Picasso in Antibes is a treasure where art and landscape merge seamlessly. Housed in a historic château, its stone walls whisper of centuries past, while windows perfectly frame breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. Picasso’s works feel alive here, infused with the light and rhythm of the sea beyond. The setting elevates the collection, making each room a dialogue between history, creativity, and the natural beauty outside.

Wow! Absolutely amazing. The staff really interact with the animals and all the animals are so close to where you stand it's amazing to see them. Would highly recommend a visit.

Sadly this park is closing at the end of the year. We visited 2 weeks ago. Absolutely loved it. Animals are well cared for and are being relocated. Go and visit. You won’t regret it. Amazing place.

To visit the entire park with all attractions takes around 5 hours. But do not rush, the animals at this place are very unique and artistic. The environment is very animal friendly. Decorations are comprehensive and very close to the nature ones.

Absolutely breathtaking for me, all three performances were great and I was impressed that both trainers and animals are enthusiastic about the performance. The sea lions are great, the dolphins are amazing and the killer whales are fantastic. Behind the killer whales is a large pool with teenage dolphins - they threw a ball with us and the experience was absolutely surreal. Yes, we can debate the breeding and exercise of these amazing animals in captivity, but the staff gave me the impression that they know and love their charges, and the residents of the pools seemed to be at ease and enjoying the activities. The park is relatively small, but I compare it to the zoo in Prague :-) Shops and refreshments are ok. Two problems - the contactless cards did not work at the drink machines at the killer whales. And what bothered me a lot is the absence of drinking fountains - this is a huge and incomprehensible mistake in the heat.

I was quite sceptic about this aquarium but after visiting I am absolutely excited! It is interesting idea that you not just walk here and there but walk from one show to another. I really saw,how the trainers love their animals, kiss and hug them and I don't think they lie about their feelings. I have cried all the time of the visit)) So one can teach and show how we should care about animals without clueing itself to the road... The deal with food included worth it too. And the Fotos at the beginning were perfect! Love you guys, you are super!stunning!perfect! Thank you!!!

it is a nice park. my kids enjoyed it a lot. the only con was that the presentations at the begining of the shows were very long (starting in french, then switching to english at the end) for my kids taste. Compared to Loro Parque in Tenerife it still needs more entertainment.

Lovely place to spend time with your kids and to enjoy some awesome shows: eared seals, dolphins and orcas. First time visiting this place and I will definitely come back again.

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.

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.

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.

Great place to see modern art from not only France but all around the globe from different historical periods and movements and by different artists. Wonderfully structured and organized exhibitions on 4 floors. You can easily spend at least 2 hours contemplating all the art there.

This museum is excellent, offering a plethora of things to see. I was utterly stunned by the Niki de Saint Phalle collection. Additionally, there is a terrace with a wonderful view of Nice, making it a great place to spend time after the exhibition. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind

The permanent collection is interesting with amongst others the blue work from Nice born artist Yves Klein The temporary exhibition with African art did not impress me much. Too much copy-paste from "western" artist. The top level is open, and the sections connected with bridges so you can walk around have good views of the city below. There is even a small garden there.

Nice museum, a lot of space to walk around. Unfortunately there could be a bit more art especially more modern art. Yves Klein is nice to look at. For a few euros more you can buy a museum pass to see all the other in Nice as well. That’s good.

Weird and wonderful art here. Interesting enough to spend 1-2 hours. Modern and creative ways of portraying political messages. Well worth coming if you like art, otherwise perhaps not worth 10€ per adult. Several floors here, so you can always skip the less exciting ones. A great view of Nice from the top platform.

The staff is nice, but the museum is dirty and dusty, and it seems grungy. The coolest part is the roof or you can walk up and down these bridges to go all around the building and give you fantastic views. The place has great potential but it’s very tired, dirty and dusty. The Gardens looks like they might be under construction and there might be a plan to fix them up. I hope that’s true because it’s a space with incredible potential but right now it’s just ratty.

I highly recommend this contemporary art museum. It has a wide variety of exhibits, and the quality is quite good. It features renowned contemporary artists as well. I also strongly recommend visiting their rooftop, where you can enjoy the beautiful views of Nice.

Nice old church but needs big renovation. Vissit worth when u pass this little place in mountains! Take a lighter because there are no matches to light the candles!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church, of unexpected beauty in a pretty little village perched 800m away, the olive branch made available to visitors is a moving memory for us (Original) Très belle église, d'une beauté inattendue dans un joli petit village perché à 800m, la branche d'olivier mise à la disposition des visiteurs est pour nous un souvenir émouvant

Isola 2000, beautiful crossing point with a delicious hamburger (hamburger fan here) with a stunning view.

Great mountain pass to conquer by bike 🚲

Easy access pass on the border france-italy

Amazing road. The frenside is much more wide, while the Italian side is extremely narrow, so avoid any time with traffic as it is virtually impossible to drive with two cars.

Very interesting region devided by the mountain in two. The Italian side is clearly more beautiful, wider view from the top, more beautiful nature in general in summer. The road is basically one car wide. Even with a motorcycle you get to sweat a bit when passing cars. Still a lot of traffic there, which does not make it easier. If you are into skiing in winter, then you definitely want to be in the French part where the road is normal. The Isola 2000 resort is very good but build from scratch in recent years. So no historic part there.

One star is too much, but i can’t leave zero stars. On the French side, the route is fully plowed, but on the Italian side the road was completely snow-covered and impassable. Thanks for wasting 6 hours and the costs for a hotel booking, Italy.

Google suggested this route from us in order to return from Nice to Italy yesterday and it showed that the road was open but it was closed. We ended up driving for 2,5 hours back to Nice at 21:30 trying to find a hotel and some food. All restaurants and hotels at Isola were closed but Google kept showing them as “open.” Please update the maps, it’s dangerous for someone to get stuck in the mountains like this.

Our kids aged 11, 9, 9 did 4x three-hour lessons with Jérôme last week. They came on leaps and bounds in that time and are super confident (and safe!) on the slopes now. Sounded like it was lots of fun with Jérôme too. Very positive experience with ESF this year:) Last year they had different instructors each day which meant similar progress was not possible. Our fault I guess for not booking the lessons earlier.

(Translated by Google) In a word Bravo, the welcome from the school was very nice, especially the dean with her beautiful hats 👒 and the Director who was extremely kind and very understanding. The Top Instructors Luca, Alex, Alex P. (for his private lesson with Liham he knew how to motivate him), and in particular Marco the king of cycling & Cédric L. My daughter Léa is still a fan of them, from Piou-Piou to today. Next year, our 3 children Noham, Liham & Léa can't wait.... D.M. (Original) En un mot Bravo, l’accueil de l’école très sympa, surtout la doyenne avec ses si beaux chapeaux 👒 et la Directrice d’une extrême gentillesse et tres compréhensive. Les Moniteurs au Top Luca, Alex, Alex P. (pour son cours particulier avec Liham il a su le motiver), et en particulier Marco le roi du Vélo & Cédric L. Ma fille Léa en est toujours fan, des Piou-Piou à aujourd’hui. A l’année Prochaine, nos 3 enfants Noham, Liham & Léa ont hâte.... D. M.

(Translated by Google) Very good team at the office with all the necessary information. A big thank you to you and especially to François for the private lessons and his patience. We will come back THANKS (Original) Très bonne équipe au bureau avec tout les renseignements nécessaires. Un grand merci à vous et spécialement à François pour les cours particuliers et sa patience. On reviendra Merci

(Translated by Google) Very mixed opinion. We had a lovely teacher who was very educational and our children made very good progress. The torchlight descent was exemplary and very well planned. Well done ! Then, you should know that we only put our children in individual lessons because we see monos leaving children at the end of the line and we refuse it. That it was not precisely our surprise to see a student lagging behind in a hurry to join her group and who bumped into me. The mono ESF made a real comedy of telling me that it was me who was coming at full speed and had hit her and that she would have to inform the parents. A father confirmed to me that the student had rushed at me. This is exactly why we avoid group courses because of these types of characters who tarnish the reputation of the profession. It seems that it is a classic for some to accuse individuals on the slopes when students left behind hit them…. The parents were therefore probably treated to an unconscious skier who hit their child rather than a frightened child left behind by her mono and who rushed onto the slope so as not to be left alone... Terrible (Original) Avis très mitigé. On a eu un prof adorable très pédagogue et nos enfants ont fait de très beaux progrès. La descente aux flambeaux était exemplaire et très bien cadrée. Bravo ! Ensuite, il faut savoir que l’on met nos enfants en cours individuels uniquement car on voit des monos laisser des enfants en bout de chaîne et on le refuse. Qu’elle ne fut pas justement notre surprise de voir une élève à la traîne pressée de rejoindre son groupe et qui me rentre dedans. La mono ESF a fait une véritable comédie en me disant que c’est moi qui arrivais à fonds et l’avais heurtée et qu’elle devra en informer les parents. Un père m’a confirmé que l’élève m’avait fonçait dessus. Voilà exactement pourquoi nous évitons les cours groupés à cause de ce type de personnages qui ternit la réputation du métier. Il paraît que c’est un classique pour certains d’accuser les individus sur les pistes quand les élèves laissés à la traîne les percutent…. Les parents ont donc eu sans doute droit à un skieur inconscient qui a percuté leur enfant plutôt qu’une enfant apeurée car laissée à la traîne par sa mono et qui fonçait sur la piste pour ne pas rester seule… Minable

(Translated by Google) Class that ends at 11 a.m., another that starts at the same time. So obviously there is a course of wrongdoing. All week for the older one, the teacher says everything is fine. And the last day no medal because no flexibility. Why not say it during the week to make progress? As for the first star's teacher... I think I'll pass on commenting because I'm very angry. (Original) Cours qui fini à 11h, un autre qui commence à la même heure. Donc forcément y'a un cours de lésé. Toute la semaine pour le grand le prof dit que tout va bien. Et le dernier jour pas de médaille car pas de souplesse. Pourquoi ne pas le dire pendant la semaine pour progresser ? Quant au prof de la première étoile... je pense que je vais me passer de commentaire parce que je suis très en colère.

(Translated by Google) 3 days in Greoliere les neiges with a teacher who only did babysitting when I asked him for the 1st star he replied: that it was a star, even though I had registered it for that and in fact I was led to believe so. At Isola same scenario I stipulated for the passage of the star I was told the same no problem so registered for a group course, they wanted me to do a private course. I only stayed 3 days in each resort so if you do not stay a week to rinse the ESf your child will not have any medal even with a good level because she goes down the red slopes. And to justify ourselves we tell you that the child does not have the level I am very angry that we are taken for idiots. FRIC ONLY FACTORY DON'T BE FUCKED (Original) 3 jours à Greoliere les neiges avec un prof qui n a fait que du gardiennage lorsque je lui ai demande pour la 1ere etoile il m a répondu : qu'elle étoile, alors que je l avais inscrite pour ca et d'ailleurs on me l'a bien laissé croire. A Isola même scénario j ai bien stipulé pour le passage de l étoile on m a répondu pareil pas de problème donc inscrite a un cour collectif ,on voulait que je fasse un cours privé .je ne suis restée que 3 jours dans chaque station donc si vous ne restez pas une semaine à rincer l ESf votre enfant n aura aucune médaille meme avec un bon niveau car elle descend les pistes rouge.Et pour se justifier on vous repond que l enfant n a pas le niveau je suis très en colère que l on nous prennent pour des idiots.USINE A FRIC UNIQUEMENT NE VOUS FATES PAS AVOIR

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

Don’t go there! It’s well maintained, perfect weather and empty off season (when high season in Austria). Food is amazing and surprisingly cheap. A true hidden gem. Don’t share it with anyone.

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

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.

Really fun via Ferrata consisting of 3 parts from easy to more difficult, multiple escapes. Ticket office is near the start, a couple of minutes walking from the towns parking lot. Really friendly staff. The route has recently been renewed.

So much fun! Awesome views but definitely need to be physically fit or you will struggle

Great Via Ferrata - very picturesque around the river and good for a hot summer day!

It’s a via Ferrata and it’s gorgeous. Good for beginners. 12 years old onward.

It is currently closed for maintenance. The website also does not work. But there is a sign at the starting spot.

I have done a few "via ferrata" in my life but there I was scared a little but was awesone on the way

Check if the Via Ferrata is open

My wife and I live in Nice and came for 3 days to enjoy the Spa. Everything about this 3 days experience has been perfect. The Spa experience was our best Spa experience in many years. Sonia from the front desk is exceptional. I was so happy with Sonia, and all the women working the front desk including Virginie that I specifically came to Google to leave a very positive review. But what made our Spa experience so good, is Pascal Blieux (i hope i am spelling Pascal's last name correctly) Pascal is awesome! He is the Head Life Guard and Overseer, and to be honest, his exceptional strictness in overseeing is the reason my wife and i came 3 days in a row, and my wife will come back again for a weekend next month. Pascal is an exceptional employee who has his heart completely in his job. Thank you!

The ladies at the reception are not very nice and basically bored by clients’ questions. If they have to explain something twice you will regret having asked. The outdoor pool is not working and an inside pool is out of order as well. Be aware that you won’t be able to enjoy massages and other treatments because they have to be booked one month in advance (something that can work for local people but not for tourists).

There is no website and no clear way to buy tickets online — surprising for such a large scale operation. We were staying at a hotel 30 min away run by the same parent company and even they couldn’t figure out how to get a hold of this place or book. Astounding. So, we had to drive all the way there, only to be turned away because my swimsuit (completely normal) was « incorrect ». There was no actual explanation, she just offered to sell me a new one that looked exactly the same as mine but apparently it was… a different material? Here’s an idea — make a website, and put your policies on it, instead of turning people away at the door. Eventually I understood that they only allow Speedo-type suits — why? Who knows… I guess they want all the guys to have their junk visibly bulging out. Disgusting. Makes even less sense because she was trying to sell me swim shorts just a couple cm shorter than mine. She also tried to charge us 29€, the weekend rate, for a weekday. We left immediately after that. I speak fluent French so there was no language barrier. Normally I don’t write negative reviews but want to spare others the trouble. If you’re a man and don’t have a speedo-type swimsuit, forget it. EDIT to note I see someone with a similar situation further down in the reviews. And the lifeguard on staff, rather than responding to the negative review, left his own 1-star review for his own employer as a reply. Perhaps the biggest self-own I’ve ever seen.

Beautiful location an hour and a half from Nice, they have 3 main indoor pools, and one external pool. The jet pressure in the one of the pools is just great, it really helped me unwind my knots, the temperatures are not so hot,one pool was 30, the other 34 degrees, but they do the job. Super friendly and informative staff. Place is very clean and new, they are still in the process of building the new accommodation facility for those coming for a cure of 18days. Reasonably priced at 20€ weekdays, 24€ weekend for half a day and the atmosphere is very relaxing with a great view. Towels, bathrobes and slippers are offered with your ticket. It’s a shame I didn’t get to experience the outdoor pool, but maybe next time. Recommended for people with rheumatology and respiratory problems, if you also are a re French resident, their cure programs that they offer are partly covered by the carte vital if you have a doctors prescription.

Beautiful scenery, Book well in advance due to limited space

Very nice but the facilities are very small and not so impressive.

Wonderful! Relaxing ! Sauna . Great view.

The Park Alpha is located in the Mercantour Alps, on a highs of 1900m over sea, nearly 2 hours drive from Grasse. The way is curvy and due to the big storm Alex,three years ago, especially the streets in the mountains are damaged and you really could see what water is able to destroy. Arriving at the park we first went to the store and got some nice things to remember this visit. Afterwards we went to the park itself, a little bit higher the street than the store,more in the valley. We had some time to see the surrounding and at 5pm our guided tour, a very well animal things known women and very well english speaking women went with us in the inner park to see the mountain goats first and then to see and feed the iberian wolves. This was amazing and wonderful to be part of it. Can't believe to be so close to a wolve. After this we went over to another side in the park and could see the european wolves pack and our guide told us so many things, answered any question to know about wolves in general as well as special things for this area and the wolves. I would like to say a very big thanks to her for this time to spent with us to get this experience with the wolves. We only could recommend this place to support and see this wonderful animals. We will come back to this beautiful place some time.... thanks!

It's great to come to Switzerland and visit this place. The irresistible nature of the beauty of the soul within this special space I assure you that you will see things that you will only find here, the words and vocabulary are many, but I will summarize them for you with only one campaign, Come and see.👌

Rare attraction but definitely worth going if you’re an animal lover. I would say more interesting for kids. The park has altogether 6 wolves, due to the river floods in 2020, some animals like the Chamois escaped as we were told. The facility is very secure, the park guides are very informative and answer all questions about the wolves, we got to see them feed the wolves, it was quite interesting.

The 1 hr 20 min journey from Nice was absolutely stunning - with the road passing through gorges and mountain tunnels and cliffs towering high on either side. Our boys (11 and 14) loved it. It was 28 degrees in Nice (mid August) but high up the Alpha Park temperature dropped to a very pleasant 21 degrees. Makes sure you get your tickets at the building next to the very tall outdoor climbing wall. Then walk along the road a little before turning left up a rough Alpine path where you will find a bridge with an automated ticket barrier. At the Park we watched one of the pack of wolves up close through one way glass as they were fed raw chicken. Amazing! And then as we were leaving another pack began howling in unison. Very special. There is a restaurant but we didn't have time to enjoy it as we had to catch a flight home. Wish we could have stayed longer.

A nice place to enjoy nature and watch wolves though I did not come at the best time. There was snow on the ground and started melting, so the road was wet, dirty and slippery (I felt twice and luckily I didn't get hurt). Remember to come before the feeding time (twice a day at 11:15 and 15:45) and not to miss the feeding though it lasts a few minutes. The wolves are around before the feeding. Seems they are/have been expanding to include more animals and activities that will make it worthwhile for the long drive up there.

Great location, well organised and friendly service. Beware it is 1500 meters up in the Alps - you need some good clothes and take some food with you... it is pretty much a wild forest so not many options to get your meals bought on location 😉

Beautiful, nice staff and very knowledgeable. Nice restaurant in the middle of the forest. Very nice moment.

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.

Fun place to find lemon 🍋 sweets and marmalades of different flavours freshly made on site in the back.

Fellow Americans, if you’re lucky enough to visit Menton then you absolutely must visit Maison Herbin. It’s right in town and you’ll pass it many times if you’re in the central town (it’s small). Preserves make such a great souvenir and the myriad of choices, including award-winning flavors, will light up your mornings for weeks after returning. Classics you have to get are the famous Citron de Menton, Framboise is heavenly, just about everything else is magical.

The confiturerie offers free visits of the kitchen three times a week at 10.30am. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had. We even witnessed the delivery of freshly picked oranges, lemons and kumquats which was great as normally you don't realise how many varieties there are. The tour ends with a tasting session of their many jams, including the gold winning raspberry, green lemon and bitter orange confiture. Then you can go to one of the two shops to buy whatever jam you fancy, and they also have a small selection of biscuits, teas and other things. Very enjoyable experience, although I did spend a small fortune on jam.

This review is for the awful customer service, not the actual products and facility. I had gone to this store twice in a day as I had repurchased other products , so one would assume the sales person would be even nicer and happier to see a returning customer, however that wasn’t the case for me, the sales women was extremely rude and unwelcoming. It was my first time visiting Menton and this store specifically, she didn’t even bother to greet me or even ask if I needed help, I saw others come in who I suspect were locals and she immediately greeted them and attended to their needs . I was scolded by her because I took a jam jar from the wrong queue and rather than guide me or politely tell me to take a different jar, she persisted to yell infront of others. This women was either having a bad day or prejudice towards foreigners and by the way, I speak French fluently, so there were no Language barriers. The customer service should match the integrity of the products. Extremely disappointed with my experience with this shop, despite it being extremely quaint.

It's just a nice. You can find all the jam you want. The lady was really nice and gave us the possibility to try what we wanted to buy. I strongly suggest the jam with lemon and lavander. Also the smell inside the shop is good. You can pay with credit card as well. I suggest this place to everyone

I cannot fault the products; lovely selection of artisanal confitures, honeys, limoncello. However, I experienced the worst customer service by the vendor. This was at the larger shop attached to their fabrication site and not in the little shop located on the pedestrian walkway.

So worth going! And do try ànd buy their jams and other products! All the familiar tastes are available and furthermore you'll be surprised by their specials, like mimosa, rose and many more. Mouthwatering delicious jams etc.

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.

Excellent cemetery, up on a hill right in the old town. Easy walk up the old stairs, old style path. Well signed. Drinking water (tap) up top, not much else. Great views of sea, harbor, mountains, on both sides. Even a few benches to enjoy the solitude and the views, along with the permanent guests. Very interesting monument work, some recent, some as old as 1885 (maybe older), some clean and polished, some falling apart, some obviously expensive, some humble. All tell a short small story of loss, that somebody at some time, cared.

Good historic cemetery. Easy to get to from the seaside. Go up the Orange staircases and when you get to the church, make a sharp right up more stairs. These stairs take you to the cemetery through very quaint alleys and houses. Very well worth the steps to get to the cemetery.

Why I am a tombstone tourist at times? It is architecture, with art stones from different eras, the finely carved sculptures, they were meant to be seen and appreciated. I will always find something interesting about history as well. I am curious about the stories of the people whose lives are represented on the tombs. This peaceful abode's permanent residents include a Russian prince, the tomb of William Webb Ellis, legendary inventor of the sport. Aubrey Vincent Beardsley an English illustrator and author. Plus this lovely Kingdom of eternal rest has one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Menton. Look out over beautiful carved angels to the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean Sea💙.

Menton has been attracting European vacationers and retirees for 150 years and many of them ended their days here. And it would be hard to find a more scenic spot for a last farewell. There are residents here from the USA to Russia and most points in between. Many of the graves teeter on the brink of a precipice with no safeguarding for grieving relatives or inquisitive visitors but it is wildly beautiful. The British section is on a lower level accessed by a gate to the right of the main entrance where you will find escapees from Stalybridge and Wimbledon resting in the Mediterranean sunshine. Joining them for a few moments quiet reflection is rewarding.

About 10-15mins straight walk uphill from the basilica cathedral is the cemetery. There is only 1 exit and entrance which is beside a main road. Entry is free. On a late Thursday afternoon, it was very peaceful and there were only 3-4 other visitors. The cemetery offers a nice view of menton but the place itself is very charming with its medieval theme and random spots w wild roses growing 💕 Definitely worth a visit if you happen to visit the cathedral as well!

very atmospheric place on top of the hill. old tombstones, silence, a place to reflect. at the same time, beautiful views of the sea and the city

Most Beautiful views of Menton, well worth the short walk up the hill. Really recommend, lovely way to see the area from a different perspective!

The vue to the sea in the old town is beatiful as if it was a picture.

Beautiful chapel facing the Mediterranean coast. Menton France is the place to be.

Not possible to visit it inside, unfortunately ( at least when I went to visit this place)

Gorgeous building, square, and views

Nice outside, it's not possible to visit the inside

Appreciating its architecture

A beautiful chapel in a beautiful neighbourhood

Great botanical garden to visit. We wandered around for a hour or 2. Lots to see and everything is kept nice and clean. Mosquitoes are a thing ( everywhere in this region!! ) but they offer free repellent at the reception.

Very nice visit to the gardens. Not far to walk from centre of Menton voya beach promenade and about 7 minutes up a small inclined street. Friendly staff, helpful numbered walking path around lovely gardens and the beautiful villa. The lily pond and flowers was the highlight. They also can make coffee/ tea plus ice creams

Before you come, make sure to bring mosquito repellent like Autan, otherwise the mosquitoes will eat you alive. The garden has about 40 minutes’ worth of content, but it doesn’t seem like it has been updated in a while (at least when it comes to the information boards). Some signs are wrongly placed (decribing trees that aren’t even there) and some QR codes lead to 404 pages. If you’re into botany, you might enjoy it. But even as someone who likes plants, I’d honestly rather spend my time in the park next to it, just sitting by the sea and watching the waves.

Yes, it costs 8 euros to enter, but it is worth it. This beautiful garden houses plants from around the planet and is truly a pleasure to explore. Also invest 1 euro in the audio guide, because it is really interesting and informative.

A pleasant way to spend an hour if you’re already visiting Menton. A small but peaceful garden with an array of exotic plants I understand were introduced to the region from around the world in Queen Victoria’s reign. The centrepiece is the fabulous lilly pond, with giant species from Bolivia, we spent quite some time taking in the scale and beauty. Worth visiting for this alone. We visited this garden after having already visited the tropical garden at Eze which is mind blowing, the logistics of planting the spectacular cacti on the mountainside incredible. I think if we’d not seen Eze first, I would have Val Rameh higher.

Absolutely stunning botanical garden. It's one of those Must visit places! We spent about 3-4hrs here.

This botanical garden is a hidden gem and a beautiful, peaceful escape! We visited at the beginning of October, and the grounds were incredibly lush with plenty of vibrant flowers still in bloom. The atmosphere was wonderfully tranquil; we had many quiet moments where we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves, which added to the charm. The lily pond was a definite highlight and a stunning spot for photos, demonstrating the excellent maintenance across the entire garden. An unexpected bonus was the presence of a few kind, resident cats that wander the pathways! Staff were welcoming and kind throughout our visit. My one major note for future visitors is the accessibility challenge. There is no designated parking, and we had to park about an 8-minute walk away in the city and hike up a steep hill to reach the entrance. At just 8 Euro entry, it was absolutely worth the cost for the hour we spent exploring. The garden itself is a fantastic destination for plant lovers and anyone seeking quiet beauty. Just be aware of the difficult parking situation and plan for the uphill walk! I look forward to returning to see the collections in a different season.

I cannot speak for the course quality, but I want to tell my experience as an individual diver. We planned a dive with my dive partner here and we showed up on time in the morning. It was very chaotic, no one was really dedicated for us (Material, Diveplan etc) We got treated as additional weight to the ongoing dive course. There was no boat briefing and when I asked about the dive (dive briefing) they started explaining me the route. Only after a while I realised that they were making fun of me as they were eg. telling me: "After minute 31 and 43 seconds we will turn left." I never experienced such an unprofessional level in any diving school! Especially for such an important thing like a dive plan. Childish and unprofessional.

Trip was canceled without notice. We showed up but there was just no-one there.

(Translated by Google) We received a very warm welcome at Palm Beach from Olivier and Paolo. They were very well organized, with few scuba divers, but they were able to suggest interesting sites, starting from the swimming pool and the split stone. A big thank you to Franck, who showed us the Dudu drop-off. 5 interesting dives to a maximum depth of 33 meters, with lobsters, conger eels, dories, sea bream, moray eels, danti, horn eels... and shallow stops amidst clouds of fish. A great time. (Original) Très bien accueilli chez Palm beach par Olivier et Paolo. Une très bonne organisation, peu de plongeurs autonomes, mais il a su nous proposer des sites intéressants au départ du site de la piscine ou de la pierre fendue. Un merci à Franck qui nous fait visiter le tombant de Dudu. 5 plongées intéressantes sur 33m maxi, avec langoustes, congres, Doris, daurades murènes, danti, cornes....et palier sur faible profondeur dans des nuages de poissons. Très bons moments😁

(Translated by Google) This was my first scuba dive. It was a wonderful experience; I found myself in another world, calm, quiet, and peaceful, supervised by very professional, caring, and pleasant instructors who paid close attention to safety. During the dive, they showed us things we might not otherwise see due to lack of experience: octopus hidden in a hole, schools of fish in the distance... The atmosphere on the boat was very friendly and relaxed. A big thank you for this wonderful time 👍😃 (Original) Il s agissait de ma première plongée bouteille. Ça a été une formidable expérience, je me suis retrouvée dans un autre monde, calme, silencieux, paisible, encadrée par des moniteurs très professionnels, bienveillants, agréables, très attentifs à la sécurité. Lors de la plongée, il nous montre ce qu on ne verrait peut-être pas faute d expérience : poulpe caché dans un trou, bans de poissons à distance...... L ambiance sur le bateau était très sympa, détendue. Un grand merci pour ce formidable moment 👍😃

(Translated by Google) Excellent promenade with restaurants to enjoy the surroundings of a charming city, beach, sea, and a good time. (Original) Excelente rambla con restaurantes para disfrutar el entorno de una ciudad encantadora playa mar y un buen momento.

This is an extraordinary place dedicated to the cure and the culture about wolves. It's managed to buy young people I need to collaborate with local Rangers. The tour includes a route discovering the story of a young wolf and a visit to the turret to try and see some of the wolves they have in semi captivity. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A visit here is highly recommended.

It was a great experience, unfortunately we didn't saw any wolves for real. The story they made was entertaining, even for kids. Unfortunately they had only English guides, so it was for us difficult to explain to our kids what we heard and keep them close to the story. A tip for improvement would be to arrange a transalation in Dutch.

very well kept installations and museum and large area for specimens. excellent young team at the front, with a beautiful english talking and love for their job. ultra recomended experience! 🌱💚🐺💚🌿

Very well constructed place, very nice Story telling, very suitable for both kids and grown ups. We really liked it! Very friendly and helpfull staff, also in Terms of Transport ❤️

Nice but not for young kids, take into account that you might not see any wolves as it depends on where they are hiding at the time of your visit

Fantastic, so well laid out, brilliant presentation. Interesting for all age groups.

Nice place to learn more about wolf

They're many things which can be done. Many hikes, so I only did few.

Great huts, beautiful mountains, and well made paths!

This is the continuation of parc du mercantour on the Italian side of the Alps. It is just as beautiful, it has the same abundance of wild flowers and wild animals. The mountains are a little bit different but maybe even more spectacular. When we were there there were far fewer people than on the French side. The welcome in the mountain huts is very friendly. There are places in the Italian Alps were the food is better.

Beautiful landscapes, welcoming refuges. Good early season option for hiking.

Amazing places, deep in nature. A high chance to see animals in their natural environment.

Touristic but a very pretty hike

Wonderful place to visit!

Admission price was reasonable, a few interesting rooms and a beautiful view of the French alps.

Pretty cool monastery. The views are spectacular, and the actual monastery is, meh. If you've never been, it's worth a trip, but if you're short on time, I would skip it.

Very nice, great views, not so big , worth a visit

Haven’t been since 2017 but was telling someone about this place. Getting here on the train is such an experience it’s amazing - the walking around this beautiful town is not for those who don’t like hills

Really beautiful with great views. Definitely visit if you're in/ near Menton.

Good

Lovely place and thé village is nice

Great day out with family. Lot's of fun. And very helpful. Thank you.

Great for kids and adults

(Translated by Google) 3-day weekend of hiking in the Valley of Wonders (Mercantour Park) with nights in refuges. Very nice experience, magnificent landscapes and mountain animals. Can be done by experienced hikers in good physical condition. (Original) Week-end de 3 jours de randonnée dans la vallée des merveilles (parc du Mercantour) avec nuits dans les refuges. Très belle expérience, paysages magnifiques et Animaux de montagne. Faisable par des initiés en rando et avec une bonne condition physique.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful park with plenty of trails for my daughter's age (at least 130 cm tall). I think the price was excellent (17 euros)! Gloves are mandatory. They're available for 2 euros. Fantastic staff, always ready to help anyone in need and very attentive. We'll definitely be back! I highly recommend it! There are also trampolines and a small inflatable bouncer for a fee. Tables with benches are available. (Original) Parco meraviglioso con tantissimi percorsi per l'età di mia figlia ( almeno 130 cm di altezza). Prezzo ottimo secondo me (17 euro)! Guanti obbligatori. Li vendono al costo di 2 euro. Personale fantastico sempre pronto ad aiutare chi si trova in difficoltà e molto attento. Sicuramente ci torneremo! Lo stra consiglio! Ci sono anche i trampolini e un piccolo gonfiabile a pagamento. A disposizione tavoli con panche.

(Translated by Google) DO NOT ARRIVE AFTER 3:30 P.M.!!! When we arrive, we are told: "don't worry, we're not ten minutes away." Unfortunately we couldn't do much. Prevented from doing a circuit at 5:25 p.m. which lasts 35 minutes so would have finished at 6 p.m. No despite insistence: calm down, don't worry (very aggressive and rude young person): I will find you something. Except that there we are sent on a circuit which has us finishing at a quarter to 6 p.m. We should have been worried!!! So everything is perfect except not coming after 3:00 p.m. because you won't have time to do more than two or three circuits which is shameful given the price. (Original) NE PAS ARRIVER APRES 15H30!!! Quand on arrive, on nous dit : "ne vous inquiétez pas, nous ne sommes pas a dix minutes près." Malheureusement on a pu faire pas grand chose. Empêché de faire un circuit a 17h25 qui dure 35 minutes donc qui aurait finit a 18h. Non malgré insistance : calmez vous, ne vous inquiétez pas (jeune très agressif et mal poli) : je vais vous trouver quelque chose. Sauf que là on nous envoie sur un circuit qui nous fait terminer a 18h moins quart. On aurait bien du s'inquiéter!!! Donc tout est parfait sauf de ne pas venir après 15h00 car vous n'aurez pas le temps de faire plus de deux trois circuits ce qui est honteux vu le prix.

(Translated by Google) Very welcoming, caring and very friendly staff. The courses vary in difficulty, which allows everyone to have fun. The children thought it was great, we will be back! (Original) Très bon accueil, personnel bienveillant et très sympathique. Les parcours sont de difficulté variée, ce qui permet à tout le monde de s'amuser. Les enfants ont trouvé ça génial, on reviendra!

(Translated by Google) An unforgettable experience in the heart of nature! We had an exceptional time at Accro des Merveilles! The setting is simply magnificent, nestled in the forest, with superb mountain views. The courses are very well thought-out, varied, and suitable for all levels: from little ones as young as 2 years old to the most adventurous, with impressive zip lines and original workshops. The staff is super welcoming, professional, and very reassuring when it comes to safety. Everything is well organized; you feel supported without ever being rushed. A friendly atmosphere, nature, sports, and fun—everything we love for an outing with family or friends. A big congratulations to the team for the quality of the park and the upkeep of the facilities. We'll be back! (Original) Une expérience inoubliable en pleine nature ! Nous avons passé un moment exceptionnel à l’Accro des Merveilles ! Le cadre est tout simplement magnifique, niché en pleine forêt , avec une vue superbe sur les montagnes.Les parcours sont très bien pensés, variés et adaptés à tous les niveaux : des petits dès 2 ans jusqu’aux plus téméraires avec des tyroliennes impressionnantes et des ateliers originaux Le personnel est super accueillant, pro et très rassurant côté sécurité. Tout est bien organisé, on se sent encadré sans jamais être pressé. Ambiance conviviale, nature, sport et fun — tout ce qu’on aime pour une sortie en famille ou entre amis. Un grand bravo à l’équipe pour la qualité du parc et l’entretien des installations. On reviendra avec plaisir !

Very cute ! Loaded of history. An Orthodox chapel in Tende, you have to make a little hike (or via ferrata depending on you) to get there. Cute Byzantine paintings like the ones in Hagia Sophia in way more deteriorated of course.

Sweet little climb to this location. There are two main paths. When you ascend, there is a main branch, the left one is supposed to be harder. We took the right (easier) path. You require some equipment, i.e., ferrata set. Later the easier path splits again. The zip line part is officially closed because it is not being maintained since 2004. We did see other people do that, which looked fun, but potentially unsafe. Instead we did some climbing which was easy for medium for inexperienced climbers because there were a lot of steel holds and foot holds. At one point, there was a small overhanging part where you go around a corner. Some people may get some sort of fear of heights here, but it was the only part where I would expect anyone to feel strange. Possibly at the hanging bridge, see attached picture with the amazing view that we were rewarded with :)

An intense but very nice walk up to the chapel, you'll have beautiful views and the last part of the walk is part of a via ferrata, so you can hold yourself on the ropes, so safe and sound!

(Translated by Google) Very nice walk. Allow 2 hours round trip from the Tende cemetery. We were a family with children aged 9 and 11. Pay attention to the last part, where you have to hold on to the rope. The effort is worth it: The view from the chapel is magnificent. When the chapel is open, you can admire the traces of wall frescoes dating from the 14th century. (Original) Très jolie balade. Comptez 2 heures aller retour depuis le cimetière de Tende. Nous étions en famille, avec des enfants de 9 et 11 ans. Attention à la dernière partie, où il faut bien se tenir à la corde. Les efforts en valent la peine : La vue depuis la chapelle est magnifique. Lorsque la chapelle est ouverte, vous pouvez admirer les traces de fresques murales datant du 14e.

(Translated by Google) Accessible by footpath or via ferrata. The blue level is a good compromise: short, and remains accessible to everyone, without being too easy, with a zip line as the final reward :) The red route is much longer but not much more technical. Allow 2 hours to the summit from the start of the route. Watch out for the weather though, it's blowing up there! For equipment, rent from Stella Alpina. (Original) Accessible par sentier pédestre ou par via ferrata. Le niveau bleu est un bon compromis : courte, et reste abordable par tous, sans être trop facile, avec une tyrolienne comme récompense finale 🙂. La voie rouge est beaucoup plus longue mais pas beaucoup plus technique. Prévoyez 2h jusqu'au sommet depuis le début du parcours. Attention à la météo par contre, ça souffle la haut ! Pour le matériel, louez chez Stella Alpina.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, overlooking the village of Tende. For those who do not take the Via Ferrata, a path will take you there. Be careful though, if you are afraid of heights, or if you fear being close to heights, don't go there alone... Note that you can hear very well what is happening below in the village. (Original) Très bel endroit, surplombant le village de Tende. Pour ceux qui ne prendront pas la Via Ferrata, un sentier vous y amènera. Attention cependant, si vous avez le vertige, ou si vous craignez d'être près du vide, n'y allez pas tout seul...A noter qu'on entend très bien ce qui se passe en contrebas dans le village.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and very cozy place! A true charm to enjoy visiting its traditional streets and its chapel at the top will allow you a spectacular view. We arrived by train from Nice. (Original) Hermoso y muy acogedor lugar! Un verdadero encanto para disfrutar visitando sus calles tradicionales y su capilla en lo alto te permitirá una vista espectacular. Llegamos en tren desde Niza.
