Fashionable Le Port centers on Nice’s ritzy harbor, where cruises depart for Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and mega yachts are moored next to colorful wooden fishing boats. Seafood eateries and chic restaurants dot the area, while buzzing Place Garibaldi is popular for outdoor sunset aperitifs, and trendy, gay-friendly bars cluster near Rue Bonaparte. The area is also known for its antiques and specialty food shopping.

"For a side of pétanque with your panisse, this drinking spot in Nice’s trendy Le Port neighborhood should top your list. Set inside an old warehouse, the bar sports an open-air layout that provides plenty of space. On a menu of meze-style sharing plates, finger-licking-good wedges of panisse, served with lashings of fresh salt and pepper, are right at home." - Chrissie McClatchie
