The golden hour in Nice
As September rolls in, Nice transforms into a paradise bathed in golden light. The “golden hour” season has begun, painting the skies with hues that range from soft pink to fiery red, creating a breathtaking dance of colors against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
Here are the best sunset spots in Nice.
Hôtel La Perouse Nice
At our 4-star hotel perched onto the Castle Hill of Nice, every evening brings a magical display of sunset beauty. With rooms offering stunning sea views, you have a front-row seat to this natural wonder. There’s no need to venture far when you can also enjoy a panoramic view right from our rooftop terrace. It’s the perfect place to watch the sun dip below the horizon, with the cityscape of Nice and the Mediterranean stretching out before you.
Imagine sitting on your balcony or terrace, a glass of wine in hand, surrounded by loved ones, as the sky over the Côte d’Azur puts on a show just for you.
THE ICON OF NICE
A stroll along the Promenade des Anglais is a must for any visitor to Nice.
As the sun sets, the entire promenade is bathed in golden light, making it an idyllic setting for a romantic walk or simply to sit and watch the world go by.
The incredible light of Nice has always charmed and inspired the artists who have wandered through it. The renowned painter, Marc Chagall, who explored Nice, created a unique interpretation of a sunset over the Promenade des Anglais with his painting Sunset, adorned with mesmerizing colors.
THE SERENE ESCAPE
For a more intimate experience, head to La Réserve, just after the Port of Nice. This lesser-known spot, but even more spectacular, offers a tranquil setting where you can enjoy the sunset with fewer crowds.
With the Cap of Nice, Mont Borron Hill, the lighthouse and the mountain in the backdrop, the view of the sun sinking into the sea here is truly unforgettable.
