With car hire in Nice, your options for discovery are limitless. Stroll along the broad Promenade des Anglais or sip a café and people watch in Place Massena. Spend time in the Vieux Nice (old town) with its narrow streets and tall, pastel coloured buildings, dotted with cafes and bars, leading towards the Cours Saleya. This colourful flower market also holds some of the cities best cafes and restaurants. History buffs will enjoy delving into the Ancient Roman ruins of Cemenelum, a former Roman stronghold with remaining baths and buildings open for visitors to explore. A visit to the beach in Nice may not feel much like home, as the beach near the promenade is covered in rocks and pebbles, rather than sand. Enjoy the sunshine and fantastic views of the Mediterranean Sea with a cold drink in hand.

Just a 30-minute drive from Nice, Monte Carlo beckons with its glinting yachts and star-studded venues. Just under two hours away in St. Tropez you will find La Citadelle (old harbour fort) which offers pristine water and elaborate views. Engage in a game of La Petanque, a traditional French game, with the locals in St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
