Campervan Hire near Nice

Motorhome Hire Nice

The English Promenade is a must-see in the capital of the French Riviera. This avenue, which follows the Baie des Anges, stretches for more than seven kilometres, is known throughout the world for its palm trees, blue chairs and luxurious hotels, and has carried its name since the 18th century. In fact, at that time, many English people came here to relax for a few days in the Nice region.

Besides this emblematic avenue, there is a lot to do in a campervan hire in Nice. Being from Nice is a way of life. You will appreciate the atmosphere of the Cours Saleya market, and the colourful facades of Vieux Nice will blow you away. You will also be surprised to find a Russian-Orthodox church in the city. It is the Saint-Nicolas cathedral and one of the most important outside Russia. Finally, you can enjoy spending some time sunbathing on the pebbled beaches of Nice.
