HOTEL HYATT REGENCY – Hotel 5***** (family room).  The Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée is an iconic 5-star hotel located on the famous “Promenade des Anglais”, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. This Art Deco gem combines historical charm with modern elegance, creating an ideal setting for luxury stays. The spacious rooms and suites, including family suites designed to comfortably accommodate families, offer generous space and stunning views of either the sea or the mountains.

The hotel features two pools: a heated outdoor pool, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the panoramic view, and an indoor pool for year-round swimming in a sheltered environment. The restaurant Le 3e serves delicious Mediterranean cuisine, and the bar lounge with a terrace is the perfect spot to unwind with a cocktail.

Guests can also take advantage of a well-equipped fitness center, a sauna, and meeting rooms for business stays. Located in the heart of Nice, this hotel is the ideal starting point to explore the city and the French Riviera in a sumptuous and refined setting.

Breakfast.

Accompanied by your guide, this day will be dedicated to shopping while discovering the city. We’ll start the day with a visit to the Cours Saleya Market, a vibrant and colorful outdoor market offering a wide variety of fresh products, flowers, and local specialties. We’ll stroll through the aisles where you’ll be tempted by the scents and flavors of Provence. Then, we’ll delve into the history of Old Nice, wandering through its picturesque alleys lined with pastel-colored buildings. We’ll admire the charming architecture and soak up the lively atmosphere of this historic neighborhood.

Lunch on your own during the tour (option to reserve a restaurant before the trip as there’s a risk of restaurants being fully booked on the day of your visit). We recommend the restaurant “chez Davia”.  This charming establishment has been run by the same family since 1953. Initially imagined by Davia, the grandmother, it was taken over in 1985 by Alda, the mother, who is now retired. Since 2016, it’s been Pierre Altobelli, the third generation, who, after an impressive career in Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Asia, prepares delicious Niçoise recipes. Everything here is carefully curated, with products chosen with great attention. Enjoy these dishes in a delightful retro bistro setting, preserved in its original state. An absolute favorite. We book for you.

Afternoon with your guide to discover Nice and to do some shopping. 

Is your teenager or yourself a fan of aviation? Great news: to make their day, there’s nothing better than offering them an incredible flight simulator experience.

Located in Nice, this activity is perfect for a thrilling and unforgettable moment, offering the chance to learn how to handle a commercial airliner under almost real conditions, alongside a professional pilot. You’ll feel like you’re flying a real A320, thanks to the highly realistic cockpit, the 180° screen, and the immersive sensations! Soon, piloting techniques will no longer be a mystery for you or your teen. 

For dinner we recommend the restaurant “La Merenda”.  La Merenda in Nice is a charming, no-frills restaurant known for its authentic Niçoise cuisine. Owned by renowned chef Dominique Le Stanc, who left a Michelin-starred career to focus on traditional, local dishes, La Merenda offers a truly intimate dining experience. The menu features classic specialties like “pissaladière,” “socca,” and “daube.” With its tiny space, no phone, and cash-only policy, it’s a hidden gem that embodies the culinary soul of Nice, attracting food lovers seeking genuine regional flavors.
