Day by day

Day 1: Arrival in Nice. Castle Hill rises above the old town, with a park, an artificial waterfall and a café. A lift takes you up, and steps lead down. Up top children have room to run and find a playground. The view over the bay rewards even tired parents. After arriving, this is a gentle start.

Day 2: Parc national du Mercantour. The Mercantour National Park lies in the hinterland, with mountain lakes, gorges and hiking trails. For children a short walk by the water is enough. The Parc Phoenix in Nice is the simpler alternative: a huge tropical house, birds and otters. Decide according to the weather, because in the park children find plenty to see even in rain.

Day 3: French Riviera Sightseeing. Today you head out on a sightseeing tour along the Riviera. Roads run past sea and rocks, and you see villages such as Villefranche from the window. Long drives are tiring for children, so keep snacks and games ready. A stop at a pebble beach cools the feet and breaks up the journey.

Day 4: Marc Chagall National Museum. At Place Masséna you meet the Fontaine du Soleil with the bronze Apollo. Children are amused by the statue and the jets in the ground. In the afternoon the Chagall Museum shows biblical pictures in glowing colours. The visit is short enough for school-age children, and a garden in front of the building helps you rest.

Day 5: Promenade du Paillon. The Promenade du Paillon links the old town and the sea as a green strip with water features and a playground. Children run through the jets in the ground and laugh. On hot days this brings refreshment, and a change of clothes is advisable. Parents sit on benches under trees. In the evening you stroll to the Promenade des Anglais.

Day 6: Cascade du Château. Two waterfalls in one day: the Cascade de Gairaut lies in the greenery above the city with a chalet and cool shade. The Cascade du Château tumbles artificially from Castle Hill. Both are quick to reach and child-friendly. Do not forget to refill water bottles and put on sturdy footwear.

Day 7: Farewell to Nice. To finish, go up Castle Hill once more, this time to the east side. There the panorama opens out over the harbour and coast. Children cast a last look at the sea before travelling to the station or airport. Take your time, because the climb is short, but the view stays in the memory.
