Parks & Gardens

Due to the very mild climate along the coast, there are some splendid sub-tropical gardens. The most renowned are the Jardin du Val Rahmeh and Serre de la Madone at Menton, while just over the border into Italy are the Hanbury Gardens. For Hanbury, check out Provence's Best in the care of the University of Genoa.

More formal gardens can be found at the Monastery Garden at Cimiez. As a contrast the Parc Phoenix near Nice Airport is a recreational and horticultural haven in a busy location.

Right in the centre of Nice, next to the Vieux Ville is the restful and spacious Albert I Garden, just in the right spot for a quiet hour or so away from the bustle of the Promenade des Anglais.

Fans of the late Grace Kelly can visit a spectacular bronze statue of the lady at the Princess Grace Rose Garden at Fontvieille Park in Monaco.
