About Auguste Raynaud
Where to stay in Auguste Raynaud
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Auguste Raynaud is a residential quarter of Nice, not a seafront address. Staying here puts you among everyday streets and shops rather than the tourist promenades, a quieter and more local corner of the city than the beach fronts. Water is not on its doorstep.
The beach, the Promenade des Anglais, and the old town all sit toward the coast in central Nice, a short trip away. Choose it for calm, then head down to the water when you want it.

The Promenade des Anglais, the old town below the Colline du Château, and the museums of Cimiez all lie in central Nice, away from this quarter. What Auguste Raynaud offers is ordinary city life on the French Riviera.
What is the history of Auguste Raynaud?
