Ideally located between Nice and Monaco, the port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat represents the "French Riviera" in all its splendor and so sought after by visitors from around the world.
The old fishing village became a holiday haven in the early 20th century, with the arrival of wealthy foreign families, who built vast estates, like Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Many artists chose to stay there: Jean Cocteau decorated Villa Santo Sospir.
An 10 km coastal footpath offers exceptional panoramas. Beaches and creeks are an invitation to relax, while a wide range of water sports make it ideal for sportier stays.

Created in 1840, the most famous square in the Côte d'Azur has never stopped renewing itself. Place Masséna was designed to link the old quarters with the resort town that developed on the right bank of the Paillon. It became the center of the city thanks to its successful layout, marking the meeting point between the Old Nice, the access to the Promenade des Anglais, the beginning of Rue Masséna which is more commonly known as "la zone piétonne" [the pedestrian area] as well as the beginning of the busy shopping street, Avenue Jean Médecin. Moreover, Nice's Galeries Lafayette are located here, behind a majestic red façade. It sets the tone for the colour of the other buildings surrounding the square.
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa gave this place a new perspective by installing his work "Conversation in Nice." He conceived of seven statues perched here at around ten metres above the ground, representing the seven continents and which are illuminated when night falls. Crossed by the Promenade du Paillon, a 12-hectare park in the heart of the city, it is part of a setting combining iconic architecture, verdant vegetation and an azure blue sky. A real meeting place, it's partly here that the city's major events take place and where the famous floats of the Carnaval de Nice parade every year.
To get to Place Masséna in Nice, you can take Tram Line 2 towards Port Lympia and exit at the Jean Médecin stop, or use the Lignes d'Azur buses connecting the airport to the city center. Taxis and rental cars are also available at the airport. Alternatively, you can walk from Nice to Place Masséna, which is about 570 meters and takes about 6 minutes.

Built at the top of a hill, it stood overlooking the bay of Nice from the 11th century to the 18th century. It was besieged several times, especially in 1543 and in 1691, before it was taken by French troops in 1705 and finally destroyed in 1706 by command of Louis XIV. Nowadays, Castle Hill is used as a park.

Splendido is their Marseille trattoria nestled on Rue de la République, a stone's throw from the Old Port. In a setting inspired by a daring Italian circus, guests sit below Murano glass chandeliers.
Here, Chef Simone Vallefuoco kicks off his concert of flavors with seasonal antipasti: from breaded provola from Latteria Sorrentina with San Marzano tomato sauce, to the 24-month prosciutto di Parma DOP. It's love at first sight with the linguine alla puttanesca and the spaghetti quadrati alla carbonara for two, served in a spectacular pecorino wheel from Castagna. And to finish on a sweet note, if you don't give in to the call of the Bellini Spritz, you can opt for our homemade desserts, such as the Nocciolamisù - a tiramisù with Piedmont hazelnuts - or the artisanal cremino ice cream.

The ‘Palais Longchamp’ is a must-see in Marseille: with a beautiful surrounding park, this historical monument was built to bring water to the city and is a true architectural achievement.
In 1835, a cholera epidemic hit the Phocaean city because of a water shortage. After this tragedy, the architect Franz Mayor de Montricher – educated at the very prestigious Ponts et Chaussées – was chosen to implement a project dating back to the 16th century: the excavation of an 85km canal to bring water from the Durance river all the way to Marseille.
After 10 years of hard work, 18 aqueduct bridges were built to bring drinkable water to Marseille. The architect Henry Espérandieu – the famous builder of the Notre-Dame Basilica – staged the arrival of water on the Longchamp plateau, a striking architectural monument from 1682 to 1869.
- You can visit the park & the exterior galleries of the Palais Longchamp for free.
