Living with a pet in Nice

Nice blends Mediterranean mildness with a real art de vivre: here you can walk your dog all year round, from the Promenade des Anglais to the Coulée verte, and climb up to the Parc de la Colline du Château or Mont Boron for genuine nature escapes above the Baie des Anges.

When it comes to housing, the flats of Vieux-Nice and Cimiez are home to many indoor cats, while summer brings its own constraints: regulated beaches and high heat make early-morning or evening outings a better choice. A neighbourhood SmartSitter knows these rhythms and adapts visits and walks to the season.
