Parks & Nature
Surprisingly spacious park on top of the rock. Walk up (or take the lift) for stunning views and a refreshing waterfall - perfect on a hot day. Explore further to the North of the outcrop to discover the fascinating cemetery with its elaborate and beautiful tombs and headstones, housing famous Niçois such as Gaston Leroux, author of "The Phantom of the Opera". So secret, many locals have never even seen it! Climb to the highest point of the cemetery and enjoy superb views of the mountains to the back of Nice and possibly even snow-capped peaks while you stand in the heat of the coast. A true experience of "Alpes-Maritimes".

Shopping
Visit this beautiful shop for everything olive - from olive oil to eat, toiletries and kitchen items made from the wood. Ask to taste the oils. Dunk bread into "Ail & Thym" for instant garlic bread, drizzle "Basilic" onto tomotoes and mozarella for that Southern Med taste or simply Fruité Noir for the most intense olive taste. You'll never go back.
TOP TIP: For those flying with hand luggage only, some of the A l'Olivier range can be purchased at Nice airport once you have gone through security.
