Mont Boron hill in Nice rises to almost 200 m above sea level (191.3m) and allows you to see the Old Port of Nice and the city from a completely new perspective. On the other hand, you can also see the entire village of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Cap-Ferrat peninsula. At the top of Mont Boron you will find, above all, a magnificent, densely wooded park (Parc du Mont Boron).

City/town information
Rich in baroque architecture, churches and palais, be sure to seek out the Musée du Palais Lascaris for a gem dating back to 1647. Long a Mecca for artists, drawn to the stunning seaside setting and special light, the city has some great galleries to visit too. As one of Nice’s most famous former residents, Matisse has his own musée in the Villa des Arènes. Home to one of the world’s largest collections of his works – from paintings and drawings to objects belonging to the artist – it’s a must-visit. Another ‘big one’ is the Musée de Marc Chagall, which was purpose-built to house the artist’s religiously themed works, including 17 works illustrating the biblical message. Elsewhere, the Villa Arson, an old aristocratic home, houses an elite art school but also an impressive contemporary art collection – and the large grounds are perched atop a hill with fabulous views overlooking the city and coastline. Alternatively, the beautiful simplicity of naïve art is celebrated at the Musée international d’Art Naïf, situated in an old chateau set in a large park. To get a feel for the ancient side of the town, head to Maison d'Adam et Eve, a home featuring the beautifully decorated bas-relief facades common to the region – this one dates from 1584 and features Adam and Eve fighting with clubs.
Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Antibes are all lovely, easy day trips.
Waters sports like wakeboarding and waterskiing are very popular in Nice. Nice: Promenade des Anglais. A famous 7 km promenade along the Mediterranean. Nice: Route to Villefranche-sur-Mer. One of the longer road running options in the area, with good water views and a decent sidewalk/shoulder. Mont Boron Park. A hilltop forest with picnic areas, olive trees, exercise circuits, hiking trails, and a 16th century castle, just a few km east of Nice. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Coastal Trail. One of the most spectacular runs in southern France: water, views, history, a bit of elevation, and few cars.
