# Nice with kids: a day plan

> Nice with kids means the sea, a hill and simple tasty food. In the morning, the Cours Saleya market with fruit and hot socca, then the lift up Castle Hill to the waterfall, playground and view over the bay. After lunch, a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, and in the evening a 10-minute train ride to Villefranche, where a small beach on the bay shelves gently into calm water.

## Nice with kids: how the day works

Start with a wander round the Cours Saleya market: children love the flowers, fruit and hot socca from the oven. From the old town, a free lift by the sea goes up Castle Hill, where there's a waterfall, a shady park, a playground and a view over all of Nice.

After lunch, head down to the Promenade des Anglais, easy with a pushchair or scooter, and rest in the blue chairs with an ice cream. In the evening, take the train to Villefranche, where the bay beach is calmer than the town's.

Remove any stop with ✕ or reorder it with ≡, and add another nearby: the timings update.

## Where to eat with kids

Socca, pan bagnat and bakery pizza in Vieux-Nice are simple food children enjoy. Place Rossetti has famous ice-cream makers with dozens of flavours.

Villefranche's waterfront has plenty of cafés where you can have dinner while the children play on the beach. Many restaurants have a children's menu.

## Tips for travelling with kids

Nice's beaches are pebbly, so bring water shoes. In the midday heat, retreat to the shade of Castle Hill and save the sea for morning and evening.

TER trains have space for pushchairs, and children under 4 usually travel free. The old town is manageable with a pushchair, but a baby carrier is easier on the steps.

## More to do with kids

Children enjoy the sandy beaches of [Antibes](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/antibes) at Juan-les-Pins, the gardens and musical fountains of the [Villa Ephrussi](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/villa-ephrussi-de-rothschild) and the olive grove at [Renoir's house](https://yesgo.io/france/nice/cagnes-sur-mer).

## Tips

- Water shoes are a must.
- Take the lift up the hill.
- Ice cream on Place Rossetti.
- France uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Buy TER train and tram tickets from machines or the app; pay for museums and villas on site or on their official websites.
