NeighbourhoodSecret Garden is in the area of Quartier Etoile which is a wonderfully central location. Walk out of your door and the main shopping area is very close by with its high street and designer boutiques. An array of restaurants, both modern and traditional is on your doorstep and the more tourist centre of the Old Town is a few minutes' walk away. The restaurant Flaveur, which was just awarded 2 Michelin stars, is half block away. The beach and promenade are 10 minutes away by foot and public transport is excellent and within close proximity.Opposite the front of the apartment, a new underground station, "Station Durandy," for the second tram line in Nice is almost completed. The major part of the construction (which is performed only during working hours on weekdays) is finished, and currently the noise of construction is less than the regular street noise which is all blocked by the beautiful double glazed floor to ceiling windows in the living area. When completed in 2018, the green neighbourhood park will be restored to it's former glory.If you have any queries on these or any other matters please do not hesitate to call us and ask!
