📋 The Bottom Line
Nice is a wonderful family destination on the French Riviera with excellent infrastructure along the coast. The famous Promenade des Anglais stretches for miles and is perfect for strollers, while the beaches, parks, and modern tram system are all accessible. The Vieille Ville (old town) sits on a hill with narrow streets and steps, but the coastal areas are flat and family-friendly. French Riviera culture embraces outdoor family life, and you'll find excellent child-friendly restaurants and facilities throughout.
