At MIPIM 2015 in Cannes, Nice MP Mayor Christian Estrosi signed on March 13, 2015 the first Nice Meridia tertiary real estate program: “The Crown”.

Between the Alps and the Mediterranean, the Var river flows on 114 km through gorgeous landscapes and fabulous sites. It the end of its course, it widens to become the Plaine du Var. On the left bank of the estuary, the International Nice Côte d’Azur Airport – the second in France – welcomes each day thousands of passengers from around the world.

Eco-Vallée, between sea and mountains

The development of the largest French territory, the Eco-Vallée, today spans on an area of nearly 10,000 hectares. The metropolis Nice Côte d’Azur is therefore involved since 2009 in a true economic transformation to become a benchmark for service development and make of Nice (5th largest city in France) a smart and sustainable city.
