AR PINS

Very nice small park in the center of the city, with some great sculptures. Perfect on a sunny day. Don't miss the Fontaine du Soleil some metres ahead.

The Nice Christmas Market is an absolute delight during the holiday season—festive, charming, and full of the kind of simple pleasures that make winter feel magical. Set against the backdrop of twinkling lights and the Mediterranean breeze, it’s the perfect place to wander, snack, sip, and soak in the spirit of the season. One of the true highlights is the hot wine (vin chaud). It’s fragrant, perfectly spiced, and served piping hot—ideal for strolling through the stalls on a cool December evening. Each vendor adds their own subtle twist, so it’s worth trying more than one cup as you explore. The food options are equally impressive. From savory to sweet, there’s something for every craving. You’ll find hearty classics like sausages, raclette, tartiflette, and roasted chestnuts, along with indulgent treats such as crêpes, waffles, churros, and pastries. Everything feels fresh, festive, and generously portioned. It’s the kind of place where you can easily turn a casual walk into a full culinary adventure. Beyond the food and drink, the market itself is lively without feeling overwhelming. There’s a great mix of local artisans, holiday décor, handmade gifts, and cozy corners to pause and enjoy the atmosphere. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or simply taking in the season on your own, the market offers a warm and welcoming experience. If you’re in Nice during the holidays, the Christmas Market is a must-visit. Come hungry, come curious, and definitely come ready for a cup (or two) of hot wine.

Nice park, great fun, well secured. Amazing view from the wheel

Jardin Albert 1er is a public garden / park that separates the old part of Nice from the more modern part. There are benches, grass to sit on, trees, fountains and a bandstand. Lucky when you find a seat in the shade. Nice place to stop and rest while in Nice.

Nice place, sometimes too crowded. The sundown is amazing and the seaside is good to take a long walk and enjoy the views. The park is next to the sea, and there are plenty of things to see around. If you want to spend a good day in Nice, just park away from the downtown and walk, otherwise it will be difficult to find a parking spot!

Beautiful lovely park, very kid active oriented.

The Rugby World Cup Village is held here in the park September/October 2023. Big screen. Free entry. Lots of stalls for food and drink and merchandise. Carnival atmosphere. On the down side there's not enough seating.

Great little park that is situated close to the beach. On the Promenade De Anglais. It is where the Christmas Fair was situated when I visited between Christmas and New Year. If you get the chance to go at that time of year i definitely recommend that you try the big wheel as the views are stunning especially at night when the projections are shone onto the buildings behind the Fountain of the Sun.
