The Bermont et Fils quarry, which produces various stone and gravel products, is located in the northern suburb of La Manda on Route de Grenoble 86. The owner is also a big fan of urban art, especially streetart and metal sculptures. There are interesting installations and statues in the company’s parking lot, and the artists OTOM and FABEN in particular have created some great murals. Art events also take place from time to time. Here is a collection of works from this creative space.

Running parallel between Boulevard François Suárez and Impasse Fuon Santa in the Nice northern suburb called La Trinité there is the canal of the Vallon de Laghet river, which in some months carries very little or no water. The concrete channeled riverbed provides the perfect surface for graffiti and urban art and the Fuon Santa Hall of Fame has been created here over many years with a lot of really good pieces.

„Les Puces de Nice“ or „The Flea Market of Nice“ is located near the harbor Port Lympia and offers an interesting collection of antiques, art objects, vintage clothing and treasures that can be found in several small boutiques and shops.

It is a small semi-open air museum.
