3 Days in Nice with Kids: Beaches, Old Town & an Easy Monaco Train
A gentle French Riviera plan for families using Nice as a sunny base: short beach sessions, the Promenade du Paillon playground, colorful Old Town food stops, and one simple coastal train outing. The pacing keeps swims early or late, limits museum time, and gives parents a practical itinerary they can fork around weather, stroller needs, and child-friendly meals.
