Nice, Cap de Nice – Mont Boron

Cap de Nice

Nestled between Mont Boron, the Port and the sea, this small residential area is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious in the capital on the French Riviera. There are absolutely magical views of the beautiful blue and the Baie des Anges with the exception of just a couple of streets... Stroll along the Avenue Jean Lorrain, near Coco Beach and the famous restaurant La Reserve and discover the latest waterfront homes that Nice has to offer, some with private access to the sea and sandy beach!

 Here, one can just hang out in the sun and enjoy the wonderful views, sunbathe on the rocks where the waves break, listening to the echoes of the sea, and since you are beneath the main road, you are guaranteed peace and well-being. One can also climb the trail that extends from the coastal port of Nice to Cap de Nice.  Several sitting benches are placed along the trail where you can discover the beauty of the surrounding seabed.

Finally, stop for a few moments at the monument Maurice Maeterlinck and discover a simply unforgettable perspective.

Nice Mont Boron

Resting high east of the city of Niceon the hill, Mont Boron is probably the most residential neighborhoods in Nice, with its splendid mansions or Belle Epoque villas, ancient palaces such as the Palace of Mont Boron, its impressive architectures such as the Chateau d’Anglais or the Villa Beausite and finally its modern luxury buildings, all with terraces and parking.

Quiet, sunny, Mont Boron’s panoramic views are breathtaking and encompass the Port of Nice and the Baie des Anges, sometimes, depending on exposure, overlooking the bay of Villefranche. The slopes of Mont Boron are the green lung of Nice with its forest of 57 hectares and is a popular park for the richness and variety of its vegetation. There are also protected species as well as some herbs for medicinal use. Picnic areas as well as areas for sports related activities are also present. At its base, the cave is a must see Paleolithic Lazaretto historical site which is also a historical monument.

Over time, the popularity of this area has continued to assert itself, which is why it is very popular with international and local clients, who appreciate its dominant position and easy access to Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat and Monaco. To the north lies the beautiful Vinaigrier county park and more to the west, the hill of Mont Alban, which gives you easy access to the Col de Villefranche. Several tours are available and offer a breathtaking view of the mountains and sometimes snowy Alps or even Corsica. Many sports such as hang gliding, horseback riding, climbing, paragliding, fishing, caving, ULM and mountain biking are offered in partnership with the Youth Hostel "Mont Boron."
