5 Days in Nice with Kids

A sunny but manageable French Riviera plan for families using Nice as a low-stress base. It mixes Promenade des Anglais beach time, short train rides, gelato breaks, and compact old-town exploring so children get variety without constant hotel moves. The itinerary is shaped for families who want Côte d’Azur color without luxury pricing: easy tram access, stroller-aware pacing, and day trips that can be swapped if the sea, heat, or naps change the plan.
