Exceptional 5 Room Apartment – Le Majestic, Cimiez

Cimiez occupies the hills directly above Nice, and its character is shaped by the grand Belle Époque palaces and Italianate villas that line its wide, tree-canopied avenues. This is the quarter where European aristocracy and wealthy winter visitors settled in the late nineteenth century, and that legacy is still legible in the architecture and the unhurried pace of the streets. The Cimiez hill also sits above Roman ruins, giving the neighborhood a layered historical depth that few addresses in the south of France can match.

The Musée Matisse and the Musée National Marc Chagall are both within easy walking distance, as is the Monastère de Cimiez and its rose garden. The Marché du Cours Saleya in the old town is a fifteen-minute drive. The Promenade des Anglais and the seafront are reachable in under ten minutes by car.

Nice-Côte d’Azur International Airport is approximately eight kilometers from Cimiez, typically a fifteen to twenty minute drive, with direct flights to most major European capitals and several intercontinental destinations. Nice’s main rail station, Nice-Ville, connects to Monaco in under thirty minutes and to Marseille in roughly two and a half hours by TGV. The A8 motorway provides fast road access along the entire Côte d’Azur corridor.
