Le Galet: a little piece of Italy in Nice

Nice is just a three-hour drive from the Italian border. If you can't visit the Boot during your stay in the southeast of France, head to the private beach Le Galet; you'll get a taste of Italy!

Le Galet has a restaurant with a refined Mediterranean menu that includes all the most delicious Italian dishes. For starters, try the burrata mozzarella. For the main course, to change things up from pasta and pizza, taste the tronchetto (a variant of pizza, similar to calzone and made with mozzarella) or the focaccia (a flat oven-baked bread topped with various ingredients, similar to the fougasse). For dessert, indulge in the tiramisu with speculoos or the cappuccino ice cream sundae. With this choice of flavorful cuisine with the scents of Italy, you are guaranteed to eat well at Le Galet!

But Italy is not just about delicious food; it's also about lazing around. That's why Le Galet offers a relaxation area on its pebble beach facing the sea. On the banquette, under the pergola, or on the double bed, you'll enjoy having an aperitif with your family or friends, or taking a nap after a jog on the Promenade des Anglais or a long swim in the crystal-clear water.

The added bonus: the modern and relaxing decoration of the establishment, with vibrant blue, white, and wood accents.

The beach of Hôtel Beau Rivage is indeed the first beach in Nice to have obtained the Clef Verte label in 2023. This green tourism label distinguishes private beaches that meet certain criteria, including waste sorting, locker systems, composting, reduced water consumption, as well as the use of energy-efficient light bulbs, environmentally friendly cleaning products, and, not to mention the restaurant: organic, local, and seasonal products, and responsible fishing practices.

In this idyllic setting that invites relaxation, enjoy a moment to yourself on the canopy bed, on the terrace, or in the lounge area. The meticulous decoration, inspired by the Côte d'Azur ambiance, with elements such as rattan, rope, seagrass, and wood, reinforces the art of living by the sea.
