Parc du Mont-Boron, Nice

Mont Boron is one of the many hills bordering the city of Nice. Stretching out above the port, it is a favorite walking spot for families and nature enthusiasts. Dating back to 1860, this forest features vegetation native to the Mediterranean, such as the Aleppo pine and the Holm oak. When you reach the heights, stop a while to take in the beautiful panorama over Nice and the surrounding bay. With 11km of signposted footpaths, it is the perfect place enjoying the fresh air while hiking or mountain biking. Don't miss the nearby fort on Mont Alban - a magnificent example of 16th-century military architecture.
