Together for eco-friendly tourism

All human activities have an impact on the ecological balance of our planet. Respect for the environment is nowadays a central issue. 

The Beau Rivage hotel has decided to go one step further and obtain the "Clef Verte" label.

We would like to involve you in this approach to "Eco-Friendly" tourism

Why "Green Key"?

Developed in France since 1998, the Clef Verte label is the first Ecolabel for tourist establishments in France and internationally. Renowned for its seriousness, the "Clef Verte" label guarantees that you are staying in an establishment that is committed to the planet through regular audits and controls, to enable the development of sustainable, ecologically virtuous and socially responsible tourism.

GOING GREEN IN NICE

     By bike on the Nice cycle paths

The City of Nice and the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis have adopted a genuine cycling policy, based on a public transport development plan.

It is a great cycling area. Its coastal roads offer panoramic views across the Mediterranean, its hilly hinterland offers great variety, and its legendary mountain passes have played a large part in building the legend of the Tour de France and Paris-Nice.

However, cycling is not just about outstanding athletes. Above all, it is an inexpensive and fast way of getting around that is good for your health and air quality. It is for all generations: enthusiasts and occasional cyclists, adults and children, seniors and people with disabilities, and even those who do not always have the means to do so. It is a source of sharing, social cohesion, good health and sustainable development.

Suitable for daily use, tourism and leisure, it is an essential tool for the ecological transition.

By Bus and Tram from Nice

* the tramway in Nice :

It allows you to move around Nice city centre and its outskirts while avoiding traffic. Moreover, from an energy point of view, the tramway (for the same number of passengers per kilometre) is more economical than the private car and the bus. By limiting car traffic on the routes it uses, it also reduces local air pollution along the line and noise pollution.

Line 1 provides a north/east link via the city centre via Avenue Jean Médecin and Place Masséna and allows you to travel 21 hours a day! From Monday to Sunday from 4.25am to 1.35am...

Line 2 provides a west-east link from the airport (or CADAM) to the city centre (Jean Médecin station) ending at the port of Nice

Line 3 provides a link between the airport and Saint-Isidore via the Allianz Riviera Stadium

* the bus in Nice :

The Lignes d'Azur bus network comprises more than 93 routes serving the 49 communes of the Nice Côte d'Azur metropolitan area. It offers a wide range of timetables and a single, attractive fare structure.

Ecological and Economical: 

A single bus/tram ticket with numerous transfer points: The Solo pass for a 74-minute journey with connections at €1.50 and various types of pass for occasional travel: Multi 10 voyages, Pass 1 jour, Pass 7 jours, Parcazur (outward/return) and "à la Carte" season tickets.
