I have been to this quartier twice, but after your video I will visit again this June. You are the best Riviera guide.

[@rivierago]

Do!!! Thank you 🙏😄

[@ivanchelsea2110]

Love you beautidul women, with love from New Jersey, USA

[@gennyjustdownthelane8967]

Another great video!

[@joyannesloan8384]

I haven't been to the south of France for over 30 years but watching your videos certainly stirs up a desire to return. My hat's off to you as far as the depth of information and the quality of your post-production work!

[@rivierago]

Thank you so much! 🤩 You should try to come back, so much has changed, especially Nice is so much prettier today. Some things have also changed for worse… more houses outside the cities, more traffic… but it remains one beautiful place

[@nickloong]

I took a walk to this port via the old town of Nice Entrance. And came down from Castle Hill down towards the port side exit. The view of the Nice port from Castle Hill viewing point was gorgeous and comparable to the port at Monaco.😊

[@riesendackel2]

Simply unbelievable they built that 70s apartment complex above Terra Amata

[@rivierago]

Isn‘t it? 🫣

[@alexschutte596]

Sssstttthhh those are my secret places where it is still nice and relaxed. Let it stay that way. Another nice video.

Hi dear ladies! My kind of spending time! Lovely. The area looks really good. Very charming all the spots. From coffee place to the lovely lunch place! ....Rose et Chardonnay? 😁 That seperate terrace looks special. No surprise a super early reservation is needed. All looked great and I am sure Nicoise people know some special spots that they hope ll remain more private. Although that's difficult and the summer will prove it again very soon. The views are amazing again. Hill view was so beautiful! Great time you shared and thanks for showing us around. 😃

[@rivierago]

Thanks a lot! Yes, it’s always a bit iffy to present places that are kind of insider places… but since we’re trying to show the best that we know of we still do it 🫣. Then again, even we don’t always agree on what’s nicer or more relevant, so there are still many more places out there that others might deem more attractive that we haven’t shown 😉. Thanks for your kind words!

[@smiley9987]

It's always like that. Different people,different taste. But its hard to go wrong there it's just such a beautiful place. And now with spring approaching it will get nicer and nicer. You are showing some really great spots in your videos and I enjoy watching you exploring and enjoying. I like the relax vibe...a cozy cafe,then strolling around streets and places,then delightful lunch and of course you provide some really useful and helpful information which is just great. So it's not only beautiful views,but so much more. I am visiting in spring and who knows,maybe will merge into summer and will stay longer. Keep having a great time together, smiling like always.Till next time! 😊🌞

❤ The PORT has Fine Cuisine with our favorite LA VIGNA, a casual experience worthy of the Michelin Star ✨

[@rivierago]

Thanks for sharing! We haven’t come across that restaurant, taking note 😊

[@sabrinag4512]

Great to see you mentioning La vigna, I’ve been a couple of times and it’s delicious!!! After eating going to Ma Nolan’s Irish pub and have the lovely view of the port😊

[@rivierago]

@@sabrinag4512 cool, thanks for adding suggestions! La Vigna it is for us the next time we’re around 😄

[@suzanaknezevic4402]

Girls, thank you for this video too! 😘 I visited Nice at the beginning of March and fell in love with this beautiful city! I have visited many places, but now you have also discovered this side of the port, which is just as attractive! I plan to come back so I will have to visit this part of the city too!😊

[@rivierago]

Thank you!! Yes, there’s always more to discover… even we learn a lot every week even after 20 years in this area. As everyone, we have our routines and favourite spots, but thanks to the filming we go beyond those 😉

[@jillshropshire3584]

I’m so excited you did a video of this area. My mother and I will be staying at Le Saint Paul in May!

[@rivierago]

Excellent choice! We hope you like it as much as we did! 😃

[@rikki1960]

Thank You for a wonderful insightful video; I've seen so many YT channels for info on my upcoming South of France trip (1 month in Antibes - all of May) and yours is THE BEST!!! Almost all the others are "look at me" with terrible and often incorrect info but yours are wonderful to watch, and I just love your accents when speaking (your very excellent) English; I'll keep watching after my trip......ready for the next one:-) I'm horrified that you only have 5.84K subscribers, it should be 500K at least!! Thank You again.

[@rivierago]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!! 🙏🤩 So very encouraging, and yes, we‘re hoping for some (many) more subscribers 😇. Spread the word! Have a great month in Antibes - May is wonderful! Antibes, too!

[@jond1667]

Love you both, thank you for your wonderful videos.⭐️🌹😘❤️

[@rivierago]

Thank you so much 🤩

[@stellahulott210]

Thank you ladies, as always, another great video! I am back in Nice in May and cannot wait to explore around the Port area! ❤

[@rivierago]

Thank you!! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Try out the little boat/ferry that takes you from one side of the port to the other (for free). We only heard about it now, and it won’t start its service until May…

[@stellahulott210]

@@rivierago I definitely will, it sounds SO fun! Thank you again :)

[@andyshacks7812]

I love the Port area. In fact it’s probably my favourite part of the city. We usually stay just up from Place Garibaldi near the old Acropolis so we can access both the old town and the port very easily. Saint Paul looks amazing. Is there a bar there or is it a restaurant only ?

[@rivierago]

Hey, there is a bar at Le Saint-Paul - but it’s for hotel guests only!

[@rezaparis10]

Thank you guys for the video! ❤

Avec plaisir! 🤩
