Comptoir des Anges is on the central plateau of Castle Hill (Colline du Château) in Nice, next to the playground.
How to get up the hill
By lift, free of charge
The entrance is at the foot of the Tour Bellanda, at the end of the quai des États-Unis. From the exit, the kiosk is a few minutes’ walk away.
By the stairs
Take the Lesage stairs (escalier Lesage), near the lift, or join the Montée du Château from rue Rossetti, in the Old Town (Vieux-Nice).
By car
From place Guynemer, take the Montée Montfort. The parking spaces are halfway up, on allée François Aragon and allée des Justes. Then continue on foot to the kiosk.
By tourist train
The Nice tourist train stops on the hill, a few steps from the kiosk.
Pushchairs and reduced mobility
The lift is the best option. The path to the kiosk is then step-free, but sloping. Our terrace is on one level.
