In the middle of the summer season, we decided to put together a list of useful apps for a stay on the French Riviera.
Simplex
The French Riviera is one of Europe’s most popular coastal destinations, attracting thousands of visitors every year who enjoy swimming and walking along the Mediterranean coast. However, swimming in the Mediterranean can occasionally be affected by jellyfish. The Méduse.acri scientific website allows sea lovers to monitor the presence or absence of jellyfish along the Mediterranean coastline in real time.
Mentonnais
If you want to find a particular dish at an attractive price, the Mentonnais app is designed to help. Its search system can look for the desired dish among restaurants located nearby. The app also allows users to select restaurants according to their preferred type of cuisine.
Où sont les toilettes
As its name suggests, the “Où sont les toilettes” app helps users find the nearest public toilets. Around 150,000 facilities are listed on its map, including free and paid toilets as well as facilities for women and men.
Time'N'Joy
Looking for something to do in the evening? Even at the last minute, Time'N'Joy can help you discover cultural, sporting and entertainment events nearby according to your interests.
Nestor
The Var Nestor app allows users to book a driver who can take them home from an evening out using the user’s own car. It is a practical option for those who prefer not to drive themselves after a night out.
Vélo Bleu
The climate of the French Riviera is well suited to cycling along the coast and through nearby neighbourhoods. The Vélo Bleu app helps users find a nearby bicycle station and shows the number of bikes currently available.
Moovit
In addition to the official Lignes d'Azur public transport app, Moovit provides bus and tram schedules and calculates practical routes for travelling from one point to another.
Waze
Waze is not a new app, but it remains particularly useful for avoiding traffic thanks to real-time reports from other users. Whether travelling on the motorway or through a city centre, the app can suggest alternative routes to save time.
Smartboat
Cars, bicycles, apartments and scooters can all be rented — and boats are no exception. Smartboat allows users to look for motorboats or sailing boats, from professional or private providers, for a day or several days.
