A Nice helicopter tour shows you the whole French Riviera in one sweep: west along the coast to the old ramparts of Antibes and the seafront of Cannes, then back east over the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the hilltop village of Èze, the harbour and towers of Monaco, and on to Menton near the Italian border. Driving that stretch takes most of a day. From the air it takes about 20 minutes.
The Nice hub has one flight, a shared panoramic ride in an Airbus helicopter with room for up to six guests.
The Nice French Riviera helicopter flight
Nice French Riviera 20-Minute Shared Helicopter Tour, from €232 per person. From Nice Côte d’Azur Airport you head west past Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Antibes, Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins to Cannes, then turn east over Villefranche-sur-Mer, Èze, Cap d’Ail, Monaco, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Menton, with La Turbie and Sainte-Agnès also on the flight path. The price includes a free one-way transfer from the city centre to the airport.
If you only have time for one look at the coast, this is it: the beaches of Cannes and the rock of Monaco on the same flight.
