The French Riviera is not all about sun, sand and waves. The landlocked villages and towns in this region can also be regarded as a source of tremendous tourist satisfaction, since they put forward a varied range of opportunities. Horse riding is, thus, an alternative anyone can opt for in view of diversifying their stay in Nice.

The city of Nice as such, but in particular its surroundings is where several horse riding centers are located, providing tourists with the opportunity to make horseback trips or, why not, to learn how to ride.

Club Hippique de Nice

Located in west Nice, close to the two golf clubs of the city, Club Hippique de Nice is one of the most complete horse riding centers in Nice. Its facilities and services are intended for the use of both the professionals and the amateurs. Riding lessons are, of course, available, but the curious must make reservations in due time. On top of that, the center is available for accommodating the horses owned by private individuals. It is highly unlikely for tourists to need a service of this kind, but the thoughtfulness of the center is worth taking into account in order to make an adequate impression of the range of services it provides.
