📍 Promenade des Anglais / Carré d'Or
Walking distance to beach and Vieux Nice, elegant Belle Époque hotels. Busier but iconic.
Nice with toddlers
Nice with a toddler needs some planning — pebble beaches are not toddler-friendly (bring aqua shoes), the Promenade is great for buggies, and Villefranche's sand beach 10 min by train is where you spend afternoons. Jardin Albert Ier has a carousel and playground.

Where to stay with toddlers (ages 1–3)
Flat neighbourhood + lift-access accommodation + a park nearby beats any amount of “central” with a stroller.
📍 Vieux Nice (Old Town)
Atmospheric, cafe-dense, flower market on Cours Saleya at your door. Narrow lanes — stroller-tricky but magical.
