Shared 20-Minute Panoramic Helicopter Tour from Nice
From the glamour of Cannes to the Italian border, the entire Côte d'Azur in one breathtaking flight.
This panoramic helicopter tour from Nice gives passengers a rare aerial perspective of the full French Riviera, covering landmarks from Cannes in the west all the way to Menton near the Italian border. Seats are shared, making this an accessible way to experience a route typically reserved for private charters. The 20-minute flight packs in an extraordinary range of coastal scenery, hilltop villages, and principalities.
Departing from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the route sweeps westward over Saint-Laurent-du-Var toward Cannes, tracing a coastline that includes the beaches of Golfe-Juan, the fortified old town of Antibes, and the artisan village of Biot. Passengers gain an entirely new understanding of how these celebrated destinations connect when viewed from altitude.
The flight then pivots east, revealing the deep blue bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the perched village of Eze clinging to dramatic cliffs. The route continues over Cap d'Ail before delivering unobstructed aerial views of Monaco's compact density and grandeur.
The journey concludes near the Italian border, passing over the colourful facades of Menton and the rugged backdrop of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Landmarks such as La Turbie and the high-altitude village of Sainte-Agnès round out a route that captures both the coastline and the mountain hinterland in a single, efficient arc.

The route continues over Cap d'Ail before offering a direct aerial pass above Monaco. The density of the principality, surrounded on three sides by France and one by the sea, is immediately apparent from this perspective.
