Port, Place Île de Beauté
By La Gazette de la Promenade
The port Lympia is a rectangle of water framed by ochre and red façades, with the place Île de Beauté as its central stage. The boats set the rhythm: pointus, yachts, the ferry for Corsica.
For a long time this was the quarter of the port trades; it keeps its antique dealers and bric-a-brac shops, a few streets back from the quays. You browse in the morning and dine in the evening, the restaurants have taken the terraces along the water.
Garibaldi is a few minutes on foot, Vieux-Nice just behind the Colline du Château. It is a quarter on the rise that has not disowned itself: the regulars at the counters share the pavement with the newcomers.
On the market side, the median price stands at €6,950 per m² in the first half of 2026, carried by the façades on the port and the closeness of Garibaldi. Demand outruns supply for apartments that look onto the boats. A quarter whose direction leaves little doubt.

Where can you negotiate in Nice? Asking prices versus prices actually paid
The Maison Masséna study separates the price at which properties are offered from the price at which they actually sell, district by district and by property type. The gap runs from zero to twenty-three per cent.

Port Lympia, a maritime village a short walk from Vieux-Nice
A basin dug in the 18th century, ox-blood red façades, pointus moored opposite yachts, antique dealers and terraces: the port of Nice retains the life of a maritime village, a few minutes from Vieux-Nice.

Short-term rentals in Nice: what the city actually applies in 2026
A main residence can be let to tourists for 120 days a year without permission, a cap restored on 1 September 2026 after eight months at 90 days. A second home needs a change-of-use authorisation from the very first night, valid for five years, and four parts of the city now sit under a quota of 691 authorisations for 2026.
