A city with an airport and international schools, old seaside towns next to it and homes on the hills above the sea. The programme shows how people live here all year round.
Who it is for
- Families considering year-round life on the coast
- People buying a home to live in or to let
- Anyone comparing France with other Mediterranean countries
In Nice we look at neighbourhoods along the seafront and on the hills; in Villefranche and Antibes, homes by the harbours and in the old towns. Antibes and Nice are 25 km apart, so the options are easy to compare in one trip.
The programme does not include festivals or private events unless the terms of a specific trip say so.
- Flats on the seafront and the hills of Nice
- Sea-view houses and villas
- Homes in the old towns and by the harbours
