The Promenade and Vieux-Nice - Pride on the Cote d'Azur

Nice Pride takes place in July in the capital of the French Riviera. The parade along the Promenade des Anglais - the famous 7km seafront boulevard with the Mediterranean on one side - is one of Europe's most spectacular Pride parade settings. Vieux-Nice, the labyrinthine baroque old town, has gay-friendly bars and restaurants. Nice is easily accessible from Monaco (20 min), Cannes (40 min) and the Italian border (30 min).

The full Nice LGBTQ+ venue guide - including gay bars, restaurants and saunas - is available on the misterb&b city guide.

The Cote d'Azur and LGBTQ+ visitors

The French Riviera has been an LGBTQ+ destination since the 1920s when Coco Chanel, the Duke of Windsor and a circle of artists and aristocrats made it fashionable. Nice itself attracts a broad international mix during summer. Pride in July coincides with peak Riviera season.

The history of Nice Gay Pride

Nice has held Pride events since the late 1990s. The event has grown alongside the Riviera's international profile.

Staying with a misterb&b host in Nice for Pride 2026

Unlike a hotel, a misterb&b stay puts you in a real apartment, with a real local connection, in a city at its most electric.
