Hello Yuval,

The Musée National du Sport and the stadium are easily accessible by tram from the centre of Nice.
However, I haven’t visited them, so I can’t really tell you.
Apparently the visit to the museum is quite quick (about 1 hour) and I don’t know if there are explanations in English…

Hello Vasha,

You’re welcome!

You can spend about 1 hour in Eze village: walking through the tiny historical centre and visiting the exotic garden.
If you want to visit the Fragornard perfume factory, allow another half hour.

In Menton, you can walk around the old town to see the Basilica of Saint-Michel, the Halles market and the Herbin jam factory.
It’s quite small too so an hour is enough, maybe 2 hours if you plan to eat there.

To enter Monaco, no need for anything special if you’re vaccinated.
And for the cathedral: the entrance is free and it the visit just takes 5 minutes so you can go and see it quickly.

Enjoy your stay on the French Riviera!

I plan to do the eze, menton, monaco day trip.
And for monaco i definitely want to take our time there.
(Oceanographic museum, monte carlo casino, palace, f1, etc)
So do you have any idea to roughly how much time to spend in Eze and how much time to spend in Menton ?
We will take buses in between to save time.
Also is there anything in particular in both towns that is A MUST SEE before we go to Monaco? Just so I can make sure we dont miss it!

I also would like to ask if you have any knowledge on if we will need anything extra to enter Monaco. We are fully vaccinated with booster shots too.
It’s okay if you dont know, I just wanted to ask just in case for some reason you knew 😅😂

Also is it worth visiting the notre dame cathedral? 🙂

Haha sorry for all the questions!

Hi Vasha,

Thank you!
To taste the best specialities of Nice, I recommend you:
– For the Socca: “Chez Theresa” in the old town – Address: 28 rue droite.
– For the pissaladière: “Lou Pelandroun” – Address: 4 Boulevard Joseph Garnier. The best pissaladière ever, with the real “Nissart” dough. I hope it will be open when you go to Nice because for the moment they are closed for renovation.
– For the dishes (panisses, daube niçoise…): “L’Acchiardo” in the old town. Address: 38 rue droite. You really need to book in advance for this one.

Enjoy your stay in Nice!

Hi Kathryn,

You’re welcome, I am glad my article is helping you to plan your stay in Nice!
For romantic restaurants, I would suggest:

– Having a drink at “Le Plongeoir” and then dining at “La Réserve”, the restaurant just next to Le Plongeoir.
– La Chèvre d’Or, in Eze – 2 Michelin stars, one of the best gastronomic restaurant of the French Riviera
– Le Mayssa Beach, in Villefranche sur Mer
– Le Boudoir (Nice) if you like truffles
– Jan (Nice) – 1 Michelin star restaurant located on the port of Nice

Enjoy your stay and have a nice birthday!
