About This Space

Public Transport

The Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is accessible via train to Biot and then a bus/taxi. NICE: Extremely well-connected; the main train station (Gare de Nice-Ville) is a 13-minute walk, providing easy rail access to Cannes, Monaco, and Italy.

Car Considerations

A car is not necessary for daily life at either location but can be convenient for exploring the wider region. The Biot villa offers private parking. The Nice apartment is in a central area where parking can be challenging.

Walkability

BIOT: The villa is a pleasant walk (approx. 25 mins) to the Biot train station and beach. The pedestrian-only old town with shops and a weekly market is within walking distance. NICE: Exceptionally walkable. Everything is at your doorstep: cafes, bakeries, restaurants, grocery stores, the beach (10 min walk), and the Old Town. Trams and ride-sharing services (Uber/Bolt) are readily available.

Key Distances

BIOT: 25 min walk to beach/train station; 3 min walk to bus stop; short bus ride to Antibes. NICE: 10 min walk to the beach (pebble); 1 min to best cafes and bars; 13 min walk to Nice main train station.

Challenges & Tips
