Mont Boron
If Sir Elton John chose it as the place for his summer residence, you know the views from Mont Boron must be sensational. From the port, take Bus 30 to the Miramar stop or Bus 15 to Château de L’Anglais. Along Boulevard du Mont Boron, enjoy the gorgeous panorama over the Port de Nice, and then head up to the Route Forestière; there will be red and yellow hiking symbols along the way. Near La Petite Batterie, you’ll arrive at a spectacular viewpoint across Villefranche Bay. Continue on foot along the forest path for another 2 km (1.2 miles) to reach the 16th-century Fort du Mont-Alban. Alternatively, from town you can take Bus 33, which drops you closer to the historic site.
