We're going to get a big dose of fresh air at the cinema with Mountain on Screen

Montagne en Scène is back with its Winter Edition, featuring a selection of films about mountaineering, skiing, and climbing that will give you chills (without the cold, the ultimate luxury). Prepare for breathtaking visuals, inspiring tales of personal challenges, and a cozy, warm atmosphere. All in the original version, with French subtitles, so you can travel to new heights without leaving our beautiful city.

We're going to scream with joy (and relive our childhood) at the Luna Park in Nice
.
On 30,000 m², the XXL fair is in full swing with its 160 stalls and attractions turning the city into a giant playground. With rides that spin a bit too fast, some quirky stuffed animals to win, and the sweet aroma of cotton candy, we dive into a vibrant bubble that keeps winter at bay. This year, two new attractions, The Mouse and Daytona, have just arrived to crank up the adrenaline for thrill-seekers. Whether with family, friends, or on a delightfully nostalgic date, it’s hard to resist the fun!
rtout when certain attractions drop to €1.50. In short, a perfect plan to let go and rewind to childhood, at least for a few rides!Open every day from 2 PM to 11 PM, with extended hours until 1 AM on Fridays, Saturdays, and during school holidays
Exceptions: December 24, closing at 8 PM | December 31, closing at 9 PM

Let's heat up our Thursday by heading to the grand Latino Christmas Village at Masséna Square!
Place Masséna is transforming into a tropical party with the Christmas Latino Village! Under the market lights, amidst the delicious aromas of the food stalls and the sight of the big wheel, the atmosphere is absolutely sizzling. From 6 PM to 10 PM, we can dance salsa, bachata, or kizomba, laugh, learn a few steps (or fake it, that works too), and enjoy an evening that everyone can agree on. It's free, it's fun, it's bursting with energy—December’s Latino version, and definitely the best way to forget that winter exists!

Let's have fun in our (totally embraced) ugly sweaters at V&B Vauban!
Friday is the day we pull out the most kitsch sweater from the closet and head to the V&B Vauban. The ugly Christmas sweater evening promises to be super festive with a concert by Palace Duo Rock to heat things up. Dress code is a must, good vibes are required, and here's a nice bonus: a gift awaits the ugliest sweater of the night (the competition is going to be tough). Let’s meet at 7 PM to toast, laugh, and celebrate Christmas without taking ourselves too seriously.

We’re going to celebrate Christmas in an eco-friendly and supportive way at the Paillon Promenade!
On Saturday, we slow down the pace and take a fresh look at the holidays with the eco-solidarity Christmas market in Nice. From 10 AM to 5 PM, the Promenade du Paillon becomes a cozy spot where ecology and solidarity take center stage. There will be responsible sales booths, useful information, and fun activities for both young and old, making this a delightful way to prepare for Christmas differently, without giving up on the magic!

We're going to dive in (literally) at Nice's Christmas Bath!
.Sunday is all about the true brave hearts with the legendary Christmas Swim at Ruhl Beach. For its 79th edition, the event kicks off at 10:30 AM with a parade of boats, kayaks, and a super festive atmosphere. After the cheerleaders and the swimming race, the big moment arrives: the popular swim, open to everyone at 11:45 AM. A chilly dive, plenty of laughter, and a Nice tradition that warms the hearts, even in the middle of winter.
