Nice Walking Holidays

Nice is the practical base for the Riviera and the finishing point of the GR5 as it comes down off the Mercantour. Start at the Cours Saleya market with socca and pissaladiere, then walk the Old Town and the Promenade des Anglais. Eze, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Antibes sit a short train or bus ride away, and the airport is minutes from the seafront, which helps at the end of a long trek.
