Guide to Alpes-Maritimes & Property in Department 06
History and Culture on the Riviera
The Alpes-Maritimes region offers a wealth of architectural and cultural heritage to discover. The Mediterranean Sea and its beaches provide opportunities for relaxation, water sports, or exploring the mountains for peaceful walks and outdoor activities. Inland, the landscape features scenic countryside and peaks that hide charming villages, while the stunning scenery extends into the Mercantour National Park, which covers a large part of the northern Alpes-Maritimes. To experience the authentic charm of this Provencal area, we recommend visiting the well-preserved and traditional city of Nice.Experience the Vibrancy of Nice
As you pass through the dramatic scenery surrounding the hilltop villages, you’ll reach the department’s coastal resort and capital, Nice. As one of the largest cities in France, the popular destination attracts visitors from around the world, offering something for everyone, including private beaches and a global reputation for its lively atmosphere.The Bay of Angels Awaits
If you arrive at Nice airport, you'll first be captivated by the iconic, stunning curve of the Bay of Angels—and that's just the start! The charming city boasts fascinating museums, historic landmarks, shops, and seaside eateries. Overall, the French Riviera is an ideal destination for relaxation and retirement, and Nice is no exception; as the second most popular city in France after Paris, you’ll always find something to do.Explore Further Around Nice
Along the Riviera, Nice’s neighbors include Cannes, Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, and Menton, each with its unique local culture, lifestyle, and climate, making this region special. While this part of France is mainly known for its seaside resorts, exploring more shows that the Alpes-Maritimes offer much beyond the Riviera. Notable towns and villages like Grasse, Coaraze, and Gourdon provide stunning views of valleys, olive groves, and the Mediterranean coast.Key Information about the Alpes-Maritimes (06)
