The world's three biggest carnivals are the Rio Carnival, the Venice Carnival and, of course, the Nice Carnival. In February, France's biggest carnival attracts thousands of people for some action-packed festivities. The city comes to life in a sweet, costumed and euphoric atmosphere. Colours bloom on all the street corners. A vibrant tradition dating back to the 13th century and which keeps the city's heart beating all through the winter. The festive atmosphere never ceases on the Bay of Angels, far from it.
Leave the everyday world behind and see the wonderful carnival parades, filled with flowers, the work of passionate and enthusiastic local creators. You can count the twenty floats based on a different theme each year. Some are 20 metres high! The music, the colours, the accents... Your stay in Nice will immerse you in the popular celebrations leading up to the famous battle of the flowers. This is the carnival's other high point.
Before your eyes, the people of Nice throw each other thousands of locally grown flowers. You are all invited to see the magic spectacle!
As night falls, you can discover the nocturnal side of the carnival beneath a shower of confetti. As if in a waking dream, you will see the luminous parade floats carrying giant papier-mâché heads. A dream epitomising the city of Nice. After experiencing this memorable event, our hotel in the centre of Nice is the ideal place to relax. Worth noting: at the Hotel Byakko the festivities continue with staff dressed in costumes throughout the event.
Then head back towards Nice, and you will see the coast leading to the Italian border: Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, reminiscent of an Italian palace, Èze, one of the most beautiful villages on the French Riviera, Le Cap d’Ail, Monaco, Menton, with its quasi-subtropical climate…

From Bandol to the Italian border, the French Riviera is a dream destination for people all over the world. At the heart of majestic Mediterranean landscapes arise the names of some of the most famous seaside resorts: on one side Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes, Saint-Tropez...

If you prefer something quieter, then head for one of French Riviera's many picturesque destinations. Just after Grasse, the land of perfumes, you will arrive in Mougins.
