The weather in Nice in winter

The weather in Nice in winter is mild. This is the low season, and you'll see more locals than tourists. In December, the city lights up in the colors of Christmas, revealing itself in a whole new light. In February, Carnival signals to everyone that winter is coming to an end in grand style. All winter long, the beaches are yours. It's hard to swim there, but the winter lights are breathtakingly beautiful.

The weather in Nice in summer

Nice's summer weather is synonymous with high season. Tourists flock to the prom and the beaches are crowded. Nevertheless, the city is used to such crowds, and there's something for everyone. We love the hustle and bustle of summer life. Evenings go on and on, as you want to enjoy the warmth of the evening, and the sunsets on the seafront are an appointment not to be missed.

Autumn weather in Nice

The high season is drawing to a close and we can still enjoy warm, sunny days. Thanks to Nice's autumn weather, the orange color of the leaves blends perfectly with the blue of the sea. Many regulars come in the off-season to take advantage of the low prices and make a citybreak of it. Why not join us?
