Mont Boron
Perched on a hilltop above the city, Mont Boron is known as the "Hollywood" of Nice. Here is where the city's wealthiest residents and frequent visitors own property, including Elton John, whose house can be seen from all over the city. The views from Mont Boron stretch across the whole of Nice and the beautiful Bay of Angels.

Cimiez
Another of Nice's hilltop neighbourhoods, Cimiez was called 'Cemenelum' during its time as a Roman capital city. Evidence of its Roman history is impossible to miss at Cimiez, including the ruins of Roman baths and the remains of a Roman arena. In recent times, a number of well-known artists have taken residence in Cimiez, including Henri Matisse; both his grave and a museum dedicated to his work are located in Cimiez.

Eze
The medieval village of Eze is perched on a narrow rocky peak overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The ancient streets of the fortified village follow a circular pattern around the ruins of the 12th century castle which was torn down in 1706. The castle grounds are home to the well-known 'Jardine Exotique'.

Cannes
Famous for its film festival, Cannes is a glamorous town which was just a tiny fishing village until is was discovered by noble Britons in the 1830s, who had begun to flock to the region as tourists. The glittering film festival lasts for just two weeks, but the glitz and glamour lasts all year; 'La Croisette' is one of the most dazzling city promenades in Europe.
