Excursions in Nice and its surroundings

For many people, holidays on the Mediterranean are synonymous with sun, beach and idleness. However, if Nice is famous for its carnival and its Promenade des Anglais, it is also home to a rich historical heritage, an interesting terroir and splendid walks.

Offering a successful outing, adapted to its public and its desires, is the mission of Audrey of the Kiosk service of the Royal de Nice.

A creator of emotions

Born in Nice, Audrey is a dynamic and smiling young woman, motivated by her passion for her region.

Beyond the clichés, she likes to help people discover the little hidden treasures of her city, whether it be through walking tours or bus trips.

The true soul of the Royal de Nice kiosk service, what drives her is the wonder and emotion that the excursions she organises herself can provoke.

Even if the great classics are part of her catalogue, she is keen to create authentic and atypical routes that are off the beaten track.

“I like to offer authentic, out of the ordinary outings that the public doesn’t expect. “AUDREY

Little-known heritage, local craftsmen or producers, unusual gardens or culinary heritage, this sensitive woman likes to share her sense of the land. With her 22 years of experience, she knows how to adapt to all her clients, whom she warmly calls her “guests”.

Authentic excursions.

Every day, Audrey proposes excursions that she accompanies. Apart from the inevitable outings such as Marineland or the train des pignes, the young woman, by her passionate and warm nature, reveals another facet of Nice and the Côte d’Azur.

Old palace-museum, old oil mills, local producers, eccentric botanists, she seems to have made it her mission to highlight her region, its inhabitants and their know-how.

Excursions are usually attended by about 15 people. Whether it’s during a walking tour in the heart of the Carré d’Or or on the bus to the Île Saint-Honorat, Audrey knows how to captivate her audience with her knowledge but also with the enthusiasm that characterises the people of the South.

It is then a real moment of exchange and conviviality. Always ready to listen, she provides historical details, culinary or botanical advice.

She has a great deal to say about Nice and its traditions, and she knows how to pass on her enthusiasm and passion to everyone.

“People like it when I tell them about the country and our traditions. It’s not unusual for me to reveal the secret recipe for my grandmother’s Niçoise salad.” AUDREY

The little extras of the Kiosk service

This taste for exchange and sharing has led her to form partnerships with craftsmen, independent gardeners and local producers. Thus opening up places that would be impossible to visit without her intervention.

This is notably the case for the smallest A.O.C. vineyard in France or the last remaining oil mill in the region. But whether you decide to go with her or not, Audrey is not short of advice on Nice and its region.

Whatever your objectives, your physical condition or your desires, Audrey will be able to advise you on a suitable outing.

You can also count on her to show you the best restaurants, unusual picnic spots or secret paths leading to breathtaking views of the Côte d’Azur.
