1. Escape Game
For those who do not know the concept, an “escape game” is a game to play with friends. Usually in a team of 2 to 6 players. You are locked in a themed room and you have an hour to get out. For example, at the Lockout – Antibes, with a different theme everytime like Sherlock Holmes, the room is riddled with riddles and codes to decipher, and full of suspense, like it is in the movie.
Price: About twenty euros per person (€20 euro).
2. Visit a Perfumery
It may seem a bit off with Grasse, perhaps, but living in the region we do not necessarily think you should miss making this kind of visit! We are lucky to have the world’s perfume capital next door, so enjoy it.
Price: About € 5 euro depending on the season.
- Fragonard
- Gallimard
- Molinard
3. Florian Confectionery
Take the time to discover the Florian Confectioneries where you will see the transformation of flowers and fruits into treats. The visit is free, open from 9h to 18h all year and until 19h in summer.
4. Spa and Wellness
It is a must for lovers of well-being, the French Riviera is full of Spas. Nothing better to turn a rainy day into a day of relaxation.

6. The Oceanographic Museum in Monaco

Great classic rainy day, Cinema is obviously the number one option for many of us. For Nice, we recommend the huge Pathé Lingotière complex with its magnificent rooms, restaurants, and game room.

9. Take a cooking class
We rarely think about it, but a rainy day is an opportunity to learn new disciplines. You can go to different types of courses like yoga/pilates etc … And for the most original, there are more and more cooking classes in the region.
Price: The rates are very variable between about 20 and 80 € according to the formulas you choose.
- Cooking in class: 75 avenue Alfred Borriglione, Nice

10. Shopping Getaway
Forcing, to cheer up shopping is a good therapy when it rains on the Côte d’Azur! So you can shelter in one of the many shopping centers in the region.
