Cimiez Hill, with its numerous Belle Époque villas, is considered one of the most bourgeois neighbourhoods in the city. The International Jazz Festival is held on the hill every year. On the hill, it is worth visiting the Notre-Dame-de-Cimiez monastery complex with magnificent 16th-century architecture and the Matisse Museum.

If you need sun loungers, changing cabins, and rugs that protect your feet from pebbles, go to the paid beaches, like Ruhl, Lido, Hi Beach, Castel, Opéra, Neptune, or Regence. However, the entrance to such a beach will cost from 10 to 30 euro. In addition, unlike public beaches, commercial beaches have limited open hours — usually from 09:00 to 20:00.

Palais Massena is an old neoclassical mansion. Today it houses the Museum of History and Art. Once, the Massena Palace was the winter residence of the French duke Victor d'Essling. The duke's villa looks chic both inside and out, even nowadays. The interior design is done in a classic French style with gilding, white marble, and numerous tapestries.
