Parc d'Estienne-d'Orves

Parc d'Estienne-d'Orves is an urban green space on Colline Saint Philippe with extended pathways winding through trees and shrubs. The grounds include children's play areas, seating zones, and views toward the city and sea.

The land originally belonged to the Château de Miramar estate and the d'Estienne d'Orves family holdings. It was converted from agricultural fields into a public park and opened to visitors in the late 2000s.

The park serves as a gathering place for families and locals who enjoy Mediterranean vegetation and open air together. You can see how Nice has shaped green spaces for everyday life.

The park is walkable from Nice city center and has multiple entry points at different locations. The grounds are well signposted with benches, picnic areas, and shaded spots under trees for extended visits.

The park holds an ancient olive grove with hundreds of trees, some of which have endured for centuries and bear the marks of long Mediterranean history. These trees serve as silent witnesses to the region and create a special character within the grounds.
