Nice & the Riviera · TICKETS
A Riviera week always has one free day too few. These 3 tickets & entry passes earn the slot, priced and timed so you can decide quickly and get back to the beach.
Spend a day at Monaco’s Oceanographic Museum, where more than 100 tanks display Mediterranean and tropical marine life. Follow the Mediterranean 2050 exhibition through Oceanomania, Monaco’s ocean history and a futuristic submersible experience, then head to the rooftop for sea views, a restaurant, snack bar and play area.
“Amazing aquarium and so interesting but slightly pricey for what was there”
Ride a ferry from Nice to St-Tropez, about 2.5 hours each way, with a possible stop at Cannes or Sainte-Marguerite Island. You get the day to explore on your own: browse the Old Port and Place aux Herbes, visit the Citadelle or Musée de l’Annonciade, or head for the beach. There is no guide, so plan your own time and return to the boat promptly.
“Little rude people working in the boat . I wish we had a better way to communicate with them. It was expensive”
Visit the Escoffier Culinary Art Museum in the 18th-century house where chef Auguste Escoffier was born. Your ticket covers the museum’s ten rooms, with personal objects, historic kitchen furniture, menus, and sugar and chocolate sculptures. Allow about 45 minutes. An audioguide is available to rent separately.
“Visite très intéressante. Ce musée de la gastronomie Française est parfaitement entretenu et le personnel très sympathique. Nous y retournerons .”
