Jardin du Monastère et des Arenès de Cimiez

  Jardin du Monastère et des Arenès de Cimiez sits just north of Nice's vibrant city center, nestled within the historic Cimiez district. Established in the 16th century, this garden is steeped in history, once part of the Monastery of Cimiez, which housed Franciscan monks. Visitors here can explore beautifully arranged Mediterranean flora, including ancient olive trees, while enjoying panoramic views of the city. The garden is particularly lovely to visit in the spring months of March and April, when the flowers are in full bloom. Guests can also venture to the nearby Roman ruins, making it a perfect spot to soak in both nature and history in one trip.
