The airport has two terminals which are connected by an inter-terminal bus running every 10 mn.
There is no direct bus from the Nice airport to Beaulieu. You can reach Beaulieu from the airport in three different ways.
Take a taxi from the airport to "Hôtel Comté de Nice, Beaulieu sur mer, 14 Bd. General Leclerc, 200 metres après l'Hôtel Metropole" (this means "200 m after the Hotel Metropole"). The taxis are found at:
| Terminal 1: | Gate A2 |
| Terminal 2: | Gate A3 |
Take Bus 23 from the Nice airport to the main railway station in Nice ("Nice-ville") and follow the instructions below to reach Beaulieu-sur-mer from the Nice-ville railway station. The price of the ticket is 1.3 euros. Alternatively, there is a bus going to the "Nice-ville" railway station, with no number but displaying a sign "Nice Gare SNCF Direct". The tickets are on sale at the Bus Station/Car Park Offices. This ticket, which is actually a 1-day pass, is sold for 4 euros and is valid for unlimited travel throughout the day (from 6am to 3am) on all bus routes of the "Ligne d'Azur" network.
Take a bus from the airport to the central bus station ("Gare Routière"). From there take Bus 100 to Menton/Monaco. You should ask the driver to stop at the bus stop "Gare SNCF de Beaulieu". The bus stop is next to the underpass where Bd. General Leclerc crosses the railway line (see maps). From the bus stop, walk 50m to the Beaulieu railway station. To reach Comté de Nice from the Beaulieu railway station, see below.
In France most railway stations are called "Gare SNCF". Nice has several railway stations, the main one being called "Nice-ville".
Trains take between 7 and 11 mn from Nice-ville to Beaulieu-sur-mer, depending on the number of stops. The full list of stations is: Nice-ville, Nice-Riquier, Villefranche, Beaulieu-sur-mer [note that there is a small tunnel between Nice-ville and Nice Riquier and a big tunnel between Nice-Riquier and Villefranche. Just after leaving Villefranche (coming from Nice) you can see the sea on your right]. After you arrive in the Beaulieu-sur-mer station follow the instructions given below to reach the hotel Comté de Nice.
Local train schedule is somewhat tricky to find; we will post a rechecked schedule before the meeting, but here is a self-help guide. Go to the website of the French local train (TER) system and do the following:
As you exit the railway station (shown by R in the map), walk up a short street which begins just accross the little square in front of the station and which runs perpendicular to the railway tracks. After less than 100m you come to Bd Marinoni where you turn right (there is a pharmacy at the corner). After about 300m you will see Hotel Comté de Nice on your right.
If you arrive from the West, exit the motorway A8 at the first Nice exit (Promenade des Anglais and airport). Follow the road along the sea all the way to the Nice harbor. From there follow the "Basse Corniche" to Villefranche and Beaulieu. The entrance to Beaulieu is at a traffic light following immediately a service station located on the right of the road. At the traffic light bear slightly left, following signs marked "Beaulieu centre. Eze". Then continue the road which is now taking you through Beaulieu. Pass under a railway bridge. About 300m after this bridge, there is a sign "N98. Eze bord de mer. Monaco". The road turns left (as indicated by the sign). After a short distance you will see a church on your left. A few hundred meters after the church the road divides according to traffic direction. Just before it divides there is a small roundabout where you turn left onto Bd. Eugene Gauthier. The hotel is at the corner of the second street left after you pass under a railway bridge (you cannot turn left onto Bd Marinoni because it is a oneway street but the Hotel is just a few meters from the corner).
Parking: during daytime it is not easy to park in Beaulieu but after 18:00 and before 9:00 it is quite easy to park on the street. You can also park a the hotel (limited number of parking places; cost 8.50 euros/night).
You may also consult the itinerary planning service of PagesJaunes; fill the destination boxes (at "A") by the hotel address information found on the left of the page.
