To the east of Nice, head for the Vinaigrier trail. This breathtaking path runs through the Vinaigrier nature park (hence the name), linking the Col de Villefranche to the Grande Corniche over a distance of 2km. Between sea and mountains, from Mont Alban to Cap d'Antibes, the panorama is breathtaking.
A former "rigole" (a small conduit that allows water to drain away), the path is very well maintained. It's a walk for everyone, and although it's close to the town centre, it's a great way to relax and enjoy the surrounding scenery, away from the hustle and bustle of Nice in the high season.
