The program in detail

Experience an unforgettable day from the moment you set off from your hotel in the company of your own private guide.

Start with a walking tour through the Flower market at Cours Saleya. Your guide will share Nice’s history with you, highlight its wonders such as Castle Hill, the Palais Lascaris and the Promenade des anglais, and will show you around our stunning baroque churches.

To end off such an active morning, nothing better than the sampling of a local specialty, such as olive oil or another regional product according to the season. 

Then, enjoy some free time for lunch and discover our local cuisine thanks to your guide's recommendations (lunch not included).  

In the afternoon, show time! Let’s discover Nice Carnival, one of the most important and most spectacular in the world in terms of the number of giant heads, automatons and floats made of papier-mâché.  

On the Massena square and around the ‘Promenade du Paillon’, 17 allegorical and burlesque floats parade, accompanied by animation, street art and international musical groups. 

From the grandstands, you'll have a spectacular view of the Flower Battle and the parade of floats.  

Wrap up your day with fabulous memories and, if you are lucky ,you might even catch a few flowers to take home with you.
