Nice
,no edit summary
It is possible to pitch a tent on the beach west from the airport just across the river. A perfect hidden spot where you can find ducks, couples having picnics, kids drinking beer in the evening and some fishermen but they will all leave you alone. It can get crowded in peak season... To get there walk about 2 hours along the beach towards west until you pass the airport and cross the bridge. Go right immediately and walk along the river until it touches the sea. Or take the train to Saint Laurent du Var. There is a huge shopping mall on the beach. Behind it there are big rocks stacked in a wave defence wall. Cross it and enjoy.
Another good option to pitch a tent in the north of Nice, very close to higway A8. On the end of the Boulevard Comte de Falicon you will find a church (last stop of the train Henri Sappia or previous Comte de Falicon). If you stand in front of the church go around from the left side and you will see small ravine between church fence and highway fence with small trees and bushes. It's enough place for a couple of tents and nobody will see you. It's quite noisy because of the road.
