Since Victorian times the Côte d’Azur has had a reputation for being the place to spend the winter months due to its very mild climate. Rich and titled Northern Europeans including Queen Victoria and the Czar of Russia would migrate here in November and return home in the Spring.

Seasons

Undoubtedly it is very pleasant along the Riviera in Winter but it is even more pleasant in the Spring, Summer and Autumn although a little more crowded, especially in July and August when it does get very busy (and warm!).

Nice Beyond

Nice Beyond is however one place you can be absolutely certain won’t be busy at any time (except maybe during school holidays especially up in the resorts) and you’ll be able to enjoy all the amazing year-round activities which the fabulous Mountains and the fascinating Parc National du Mercantour can offer.
