Jardin des Arènes de Cimiez

On the hill of Cimiez, this garden invites you to slow down beneath centuries-old olive trees. The lawns offer space for breaks and picnics, while children have play areas and pétanque players gather on the courts. The musées Matisse et d’Archéologie border this green space. A pleasant stop to combine a stroll with heritage, with visits to the neighbouring museums chosen separately.
