Nice, capital of the Côte d'Azur

A sublime and welcoming city... Viva, Nissa la bella! Nice is the capital of the Côte d'Azur and is a city with real charm.

With a wealth of tradition, gastronomy and activities, the city of a thousand colors invites you in to share in its welcoming atmosphere.

Each year, many of our teens explore France’s fifth biggest city and can discover the heritage and culture of Nice, excited by the services and leisure activities on offer in this authentic, tourist-friendly city. The green belt, Promenade des Anglais, Colline du château and the old town are the city's main sights. They offer a sublime, restful and appealing setting at the very heart of this town. What are you waiting for? Give in to the temptation of the Nice experience.

In addition to our programs of activities, teens can indulge in many leisure activities and our experience shows the requests are wide-ranging!

Organizing language stays requires considerable expertise. Outings must also be based on active listening to students. As such, it is important not to forget to set aside time for shopping. Boys or girls, sportswear or casual, in Nice nothing is forgotten. Nice étoile, Cap 3000, la Gare du Sud, l’avenue Jean Médecin, these large spaces are really incredible.

With their bags and purchases, students can wander along the main thoroughfares of Nice or through the old town and see the many bars as well as the wonderful Colline du Château. Lover of tradition? The carnival and its flower battle will delight the most curious of onlookers and amuse the crowds.
