Nice

Nice combines Riviera glamour with Old Town flair. The scene is manageable in size but lively – between the Old Town, the harbour and the Carré d’Or.

The scene

Le Glam is a lively club with drag in the Carré d’Or, and L’Oméga Club offers guest DJs and tea dances at weekends. In the Old Town there is the small cabaret Le Swing, and at the harbour the relaxed pub Ramdam.

When to go?

  • Summer – Pink Parade: Nice’s Pride (check the date with the organisers).
  • May to September: beach and promenade at their best.

Practical tips

  • Nice is a good base for Cannes, Antibes and Monaco.
  • In summer many bars are full of holidaymakers – during the week it is more relaxed.
