About
Parc Forestier du Mont‑Boron is a sprawling 57‑hectare natural haven perched on the eponymous hill that separates Nice from Villefranche‑sur‑Mer. It offers a rich mosaic of Mediterranean flora—Aleppo pines, evergreen oaks, olive trees, and rare plants such as camellias and dwarf palms—to hiking and nature‑loving visitors. The park features 11 km of well‑marked trails that wind through the forest, a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the entire Côte d’Azur, the historic Fort du Mont Alban, and recreational spaces including petanque courts and picnic areas. Entry is free, making it an ideal spot for families, hikers, and history enthusiasts alike.
