On-street parking

The City of Nice offers free on-street parking for up to 30 minutes during weekdays and for up to 1 hour on Saturdays.

Perfect for quick errands, dropping off an article of clothing for alteration or picking up a package. Be careful though – even though you don’t have to pay anything, you still need to take a ticket from the parking meter. Maybe you’re staying a little longer? You’re allowed to stay for up to 2 hours 15 minutes – enough time for an al fresco lunch on a café terrace. On Sundays, on-street parking is completely free!
