What is Nice Carnival 2027?
Nice Carnival is one of the largest carnivals in the world and the most important winter event on the Côte d'Azur. Its programme combines daytime and evening corsos, with giant floats and street performers, and the Batailles de Fleurs, in which costumed performers on flower-covered floats throw mimosa and other blooms to the crowd along the Promenade des Anglais. Seating in the stands is ticketed.
How do you get to Place Masséna by chauffeur?
Place Masséna and the Promenade des Anglais are closed to traffic during parades, and the surrounding streets become very busy. A chauffeur can drop you at a permitted point outside the closures and meet you at an agreed spot afterwards. From Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the drive into the centre usually takes around 15 to 25 minutes, though carnival days add time. Monaco and Cannes are each around 30 to 45 minutes away.
Planning your day
- Check the parade and flower battle schedule before you travel.
- Buy grandstand tickets in advance for the best views.
