During the Belle Epoque, Cimiez turned into the most loved occasion resort for the Kings and Queens of Europe: Victoria, Edward VII, George V, and Leopold II stayed in Cimiez.

Stroll through the recreation center Arènes (an incredible spot to cookout), and a little further down the Avenue is the dazzling Musée Matisse, which houses a great part of the craftsman’s work, just as his own things, and gives a far-reaching review on the man and his specialty. In the same way, as other of the encompassing structures, this huge private estate was worked when the new century rolled over when affluent European families started to spend winters on the French Riviera.

The fabulous Boulevard de Cimiez was spread out by draftsmen during the 1880s when enormous costly inns got in vogue for the rich and celebrated. No place is this more in proof than in the Grand Hotel, worked in 1908, the Majestic Hotel (which was before Nice’s greatest and most astute) and Queen Victoria’s top pick, The Excelsior Regina Palace where Queen Victoria spent some portion of her long visits to the French Riviera.

The Regina palace was built with the Queen’s wishes in mind. The Excelsior Hôtel Regina became a huge luxury hotel of 400 rooms, 200 meters long, looking onto a vast garden, with the sea in the background. Regina was inaugurated by the Queen in 1897. She stayed there until 1899, in the Western tower where she had her apartments. Today, ‘ordinary people’ live in the apartments of this beautiful building.
