Nice, France: Discover the French Riviera with Your Family

Nice is the 92nd city added to the DuckAbroad Travel Passport app, and it’s easy to see why. Located along the French Riviera, this seaside city in southern France offers a brilliant blend of beach, culture, and family-friendly fun.

With warm Mediterranean waves lapping its coastline, Nice welcomes families to stroll the famous Promenade des Anglais, along palm-lined waterfront views that stretch for miles. Kids can glide along the promenade on bikes or scooters while you sip coffee and soak up the bright Riviera light. 

Venture into the Old Town (Vieux-Nice) with its narrow cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and lively markets that feel alive with history and charm. Families will love taking in the sights, stopping for gelato, or observing street performers under the shade of orange trees. 

For outdoor play and fresh air, head to Parc du Château (Castle Hill) for panoramic views of Nice, or let the kids run free in the large green space of Promenade du Paillon, complete with splash zones in warmer months. 

Even the beach comes alive for families. While the shoreline is pebbled rather than sandy, it offers safe access for wading and building rock towers, and the backdrop of blue skies and Mediterranean sea makes every visit feel like a postcard. 

Add Nice to your DuckAbroad Travel Passport and collect your travel sticker as your family explores this vibrant city. It’s an ideal stop for travelers who want seaside relaxation, cultural discovery, and memorable family moments all in one.
