Guide to Nice

The cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur

Curved beautifully around the Bay of Angels, the cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice, is a city of contrasts. Gleaming with sophistication, it strikes an engaging balance between historic Provençal grace, port-town exotica and well-dressed urban decadence in a delicious concoction of high culture.

Famous for its enchanting Belle Époque heritage and its idyllic setting on the French Riviera  surrounded by the foothills of the Alpes Maritimes, makes Nice a prime luxury yacht charter destination. The multicultural population, Mediterranean lifestyle, artistic centres and charming eccentricities create a hedonistic yet earthy atmosphere.

Italian influences abound throughout this iconic metropolis, no more so than in the captivating old town of Vieux Nice. The unassuming façade of Eglise de Jésus or Palais Lascaris are gateways into forgotten worlds whilst the sudden surprise of the Cáthedrale de Saint Réparate, opening up among the tiny streets, is one of the most beautiful sights to behold in the South of France. Spend a morning searching the alluring pastel-hued, sun bleached arcades through the winding alleyways to uncover antique treasures, vintage wines and local delicacies.

The sun-drenched and eternally fashionable Promenade des Anglais is a hub of activity amongst turn-of-the-century mansions that lord over the unceasing procession of rollerbladers, fashionistas and beachgoers. As the pink and orange light of dusk sets over the Riviera, the long strip of polished pebbles that form the bay comes alive with chic bars and restaurants to the backdrop of the dark, glittering sea.

Take a helicopter up to the mountains to the stunning Alpine village of Sospel. Peaceful and quaint, the surrounding area offers exhilarating opportunities to hike, horse-ride, bike and fish amongst the French countryside. The high point of the year falls in mid-February, when the city hosts one of the most spectacular Carnival celebrations in France.

If you are interested in discovering this part of the French Riviera from the comfort of a superyacht, then begin by comparing all of the crewed yachts for charter in the South of France  to get any idea of those which can be used for private cruising.

Nice Yacht Charters

Nice is a popular yacht charter destination in the French Riviera. Despite the fact that today, Nice is the second most popular destination in France – next to Paris, of course – it wasn’t until the late 18th-century that its beauty started attracting A-list appeal.

Boasting an ideal Mediterranean climate all year round, Nice first gained traction as a winter destination for English aristocrats; and once its beauty was confirmed, later became a muse for Western artists most talented painters: like Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Arman, and Niki de Saint Phalle, to name a few.

The meeting point of old-world opulence, sunny shores, art enthusiasts, delicious fare, and seaside views, Nice is a haven for the romantics. To experience the true heart of the French Riviera, watch the sunset as you walk along the Promenade des Anglais, see the art hanging on the walls of Fondation Maeght or grab a drink at one of the coastal city’s celebrity-filled nightclubs. When the sun is shining – which, in Nice, it always is – wander through Cours Saleya, one of the globe’s most popular flower and food markets, for fresh produce brought in by the local harvest.

It’s worth a visit; after all, Nice is considered the “foodie capital” of the world. Nice is the perfect place to visit on your France yacht charter to expand your palate with quaint bistros and boulangeries to elegant brasseries and fromageries.

Nice Yacht Charter Highlights

• Classic Mediterranean boardwalk; Promenade des Anglais
• Quaint Vieille Ville (Old Town) & Nice Cathedral
• Cours Saleya Market
• Amazing French cuisine, bakeries, and wine bars
• Hidden beaches of Cap Ferrat

When to charter a yacht in Nice

Like most of the Mediterranean, summer is charter season in Nice. The season begins in May, and runs through early October. Summer yacht charters in Nice offer plenty for guests to explore and experience. The Nice Jazz Festival in July is a summer season staple, with nightly concerts to Nice’s historic Plaza Massena.

With summer temperatures in the 70s and 80s, many choose to soak up the sun at the Nice’s sandy beaches. Castel Plage, situated on a stunning private beach, is one of Nice’s most exclusive beach clubs, and a favorite stop for Nice yacht charters. Other must-sees during the summer include: Football matches at OGC Nice, the coastal trail on Cap-Ferrat, and Nice’s bustling flower and produce market.

Nice France Yacht Charters – Things to Do & See

Promenade des Anglais

Named “La Prom” for short, the Promenade des Anglais, or ‘English Walk,’ runs along the pebbly shore of the Nicean coastline; making it the focal point of the city, and a metaphorical compass for the rest of Nice’s frequented attractions. Lined with palms and boasting enchanting sunset views, “La Prom” is the perfect spot for a relaxing bicycle ride, a slow skate or a romantic evening stroll. Along its path are a couple of other sites worth seeing: the majestic 1912-built Hôtel Negresco and the art deco Palais de la Méditerranée, which exists as a part of an impressive, four-star palace.

Colline du Château

French for “Castle Hill,” Colline du Château is a historic hill that holds the remains of Nice’s first Ancient Greek settlement; which, considering its existence thousands of years ago, was considered to be the area’s first true Medieval town. While most of the castle has since crumbled, today, the site houses a large park and botanical garden, waterfalls, the remains of a former 11th-century Cathedral, walkways made of vibrant, 20th-century mosaics, and sweeping panoramic views of Nice and the Baie des Anges below.

Cours Saleya

Situated in the heart of Vieille Ville, or “Old Town” – in a city that is already considered to be one of the world’s most desired culinary destinations – Cours Saleya is a famous fruit, flower and vegetable market, highly regarded for its colorful produce, seductive aromas, and on select days, precious antiques. Open Tuesday through Sunday, Cours Saleya welcomes travelers and locals alike to peruse its bountiful stalls; and when they’re done, traipse through its surrounding shops and enjoy dinner at one of the nearby, likely award-winning restaurants.

Charter a private yacht in Nice

If you want to explore the French Riviera, Nice is a prime launching point. With Cannes, Monaco and St Tropez nearby, a private yacht charter in Nice offers a full range of possibilities for itineraries. Not to mention, Nice is renowned for its exclusive marinas, from the Port de Nice right in the heart of Old Town, to Port de Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.

When you charter a private yacht in Nice, you’ll be in the heart of the French Riviera. Taste the city’s many famous dishes, (like the classic Salade Nicoise, or street-food favorite Socca). Explore the stunning Cap Ferrat, with its beautiful anchorages, or cruise to nearby ports in St Tropez.

Nice Yacht Charter, French Riviera

Nice is a colourful cosmopolitan destination that has attracted artists and aristocrats throughout the centuries, and when you stand upon Castle Hill to see the breath-taking blue waters that gave the Cote d'Azur its name, you'll know why it's still such a favourite with the luxury yachting crowd.

Walk through the Medieval Quarter and connect with a past gone but not forgotten, then discover the legacy of previous generations of tourists in the Russian Orthodox Cathedral, where the golden icon wall was prayed to by Russian's aristocrats while holidaying in the sunshine. The British too left their mark, and the seafront walkway is named 'Promenade des Anglais', which leads to the castle and is lined with luxury shopping opportunities and first-class eateries.

Any lover of Impressionism should make time to visit Musée Matisse, which has a comprehensive exhibition spanning the lifetime of the artist.

On your French Riviera yacht charter you should visit the lovely old port of Nice, at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais. Nice is one of the more famous French cities, particularly for the arts, culture and tourism. The Nice airport is very close to the center of town and Nice’s port, and being the second largest airport in France, after Paris, it is the main airport for the French Riviera yacht charter area.

Enjoy France on Nice Yacht Charter - Nice - The Nice Convention and Visitors Bureau

The port is surrounded by superb Genoese-style old pink and yellow ochre buildings. The centre of the quartier des Antiquaires (Antique Dealers district) is only a short walk from the famous flower and Provencal markets and the street cafés of The Cours Saleya and the beaches of the Baie des Anges. Nice is home to many culinary specialties such as Niçois, Provençal and international, which can be savored in the multitude of sea side restaurants within easy access of your charter yacht.

Images from Nice - Credit to The Nice Convention and Visitors Bureau

As with most of the Mediterranean , and all the French Riviera, the Nice yacht charter holiday season generally runs from April to the end of October. The summer season in July and August is the hottest and tends to have the lightest winds but also the largest crowds. This is also the high season as far as yacht charter goes. Other good times to charter your yacht is generally on either of the shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October), each side of the main summer season, as the temperatures are still comfortable, and the onshore tourists have yet to arrive in their largest numbers.

BATAILLE DE FLEURS 2015 - Carnival in Nice - The Nice Convention and Visitors Bureau

As one of the most famous yacht charter grounds in the Mediterranean, Nice and the French Riviera have all types of yacht charter available including motor, sailing yacht charter, skippered, crewed yachts, catamaran, power boat, sailboat, luxury yachts and off-course the ever increasing super yacht charter. The emphasis in Nice is on larger luxury power and sailing yacht charters, although Nice, and the French Riviera, is also an excellent area for the smaller yacht to explore.

Nice has more museums than any French city outside Paris. All of which are best seen by private guide.

Your Guide to Nice

The bon vivant capital of france.

Nice was built on inestimable wealth. Italian counts, German princes and American moguls built rococo palazzi, Moorish castles and Normandy chateaux. Tsar Nicholas II sailed into Nice yacht harbour to open the largest Russian Cathedral in Western Europe. A direct train to Moscow (via the Italian Riviera and Austrain Alps) still runs today. Queen Victoria enjoyed Nice’s joie de vivre. Her son, Prince Bertie, preferred the casinos of Monte Carlo - a 15-minute RIB ride away.

Art & Sunshine

Brits built the Promenade des Anglais. Imagine a dawn-to-dusk seaside spectacular: beach bars, watermelon vendors, jugglers, lovers, bathers and couples dancing tango in the night. The waterside boulevard is action central. Join the fun on rollerblades, longboards, tandem trikes and hoverboards. Or head up to the Tour de France cycling route via racing bike. Your own Pinarello bike can be arranged with one call to your Y.CO Charter Specialist.

Eat. Shop. Enjoy.

Nice stops for lunch. And carries on eating until dinner. The city that gave the world salade Niçoise is a Michelin-starred melting pot. Try Le Negresco, where Dali ate while The Beatles drank. Or join top cooks at Libération Market for black truffles, green olives and Bouzigues oysters. Your yacht chef will be among the throng.

Yacht Charter Destinations

More Destinations on the French Riviera

Bars, Cars & Michelin Stars. Monaco is the city-state that never sleeps. The Principality boasts more fast cars and Michelin stars than anywhere else on earth.

Eze is on an eagle's nest. Imagine a Disney castle sited 410m above the Mediterranean. The best panorama from this clifftop village? The once-in-a-lifetime view from San Remo to St Tropez.

Villefranche

Depth of colour. Villefranche rings the Riviera's greatest harbour like an amphitheatre. The principle pastime? Drinking café au lait while watching the bay. That's because the 300m-deep water welcomes humble fishermen alongside the world's largest yachts.

Life is rosé in this anything-goes escape. acht guests can wear flip-flops, kaftans, Panama hats or Bermuda shorts. In this former fishing village posing is considered arriviste.

Where café culture is an art form. Antibes is one big pavement café. Sip frozen espresso in Café Marius. Dirty martinis in Le Pimm's. Or follow your steward to underground drinking den L'Absinthe Bar.

Capital of cool. La Croisette is Cannes’ seaside boulevard. It sparkles with boutiques from head to toe (think Ralph Lauren for sunhats, Jimmy Choo for shoes).

Pink Palazzi and private bays. Cap Ferrat is Europe's coolest peninsula. It punches into the Mediterranean in a succession of six sandy bays. Running along its emerald spine are Italianate palazzi and French chateaux.

Îles de Lérins

The sunshine twins. The two Lérins islands swim in azure seas one kilometre from Cannes. Ile St Honorat and Ile Ste Marguerite are car-free, stress-free and after 5pm - solely accessible by private boat.

Set sail to the sunniest city in France. 2,600 annual sunshine hours made Menton a holiday spot for aristocratic Russians, Italians and Brits. The idle rich planted tropical gardens like Jardin Val Rahmeh, which overflows with guavas and bananas.

Explore historical Nice

The city of Nice has an interesting history dating back many centuries and has been part of many different powers trying to control this quaint city on the French Riviera. The architecture of the city is highly influenced by Italy and for good reason as it was a playball between Italian and French rulers. Between 1388 until 1792 Nice belonged to Savoy, before it became part of France between 1792 and 1815 only to become part of Piedmont-Sardinia until 1860. Ever since then Nice has been part of France. Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice is a Russian Orthodox church enabled by the last Russian czar Nicholas II and is standing tall in the center of the city. It is certainly a beautiful sight to see in the city. Musée du Palais Lascaris is more than just a museum showcasing musical instruments. It is a super luxurious 17th century house in the center of the city and will lure you in with its magnificent wall decorations and artistic ceilings. The historic center of Nice is going to charm you with its beautiful squares and its yellow-orange Italian style houses with green shutters. This is definitely a situation where the current architecture of a city tells you so much about the past.

Explore mystical Nice

While Nice might not be surrounded by traditional ancient Greek or Roman legends and myths that you probably know from other places in the Mediterranean, there are modern myths about the city that are either true or not. One of these myths is about the affordability of staying in Nice. Sure, there are the luxurious and expensive hotels scattering the Promenade des Anglais, but this is not everything Nice has to offer. Renting a boat in Nice can be a much more affordable option and allows you to visit the other magical towns along the famous Cote d’Azur.

Sailing conditions in Nice

As Nice is located in the South of France and by the Mediterranean sea it is blessed with a typical Mediterranean climate. Sunny and dry summers with temperatures generally going above 25 degrees. The winters are milder with temperatures barely going below 10 degrees. Thanks to the mountains Nice is mostly sheltered from the stronger northern winds.

Many beaches in Nice have been awarded the Blue Flag, a special reward for extra efforts keeping the beaches clean and tidy and to protect the environment.
