The

Skateville

, presented on the forecourt of 109 (89, route de Turin, free access), offers an immersion in the design of these “urban developments” hijacked by users of this skateboard or created especially for them.

At the museum, with a mask and a snorkel in Cannes

Jason deCaires Taylor's sculptures should appeal to children. Because to admire them, you will have to dive. The English artist has posed his works a few dozen meters from the south shore of Île Sainte-Marguerite, off Cannes. This "submarine ecomuseum", installed at the beginning of the year, features six monumental faces cast on Cannes residents.

Back to the past in Nice

Little budding historians are likely to love it.

In Nice, there are several places to discover to immerse yourself in the past of the Riviera capital.

The archaeological crypt and its medieval fortifications can be visited, for example, by reservation, from 7 years old.

The Terra Amata prehistoric museum also offers “special family” meetings every Monday and Thursday.
