In the Eastern part of the town these 2 districts are very near and and complement each other perfectly . The district of the Port, its antiques shops , its narrow lanes recall the Nice of the past . Today it is still most popular with the Nicois and the culture and the past of the town are deeply enrooted there . Close to le Vieux Nice, with pedestrian streets coming soon the district of le Port is a sought-after location with a dynamic property market . As for the district of Mont Boron it is the frontier between Nice and the bay of billionaires and its small ports . It is a hill which overlooks the sea and hosts stunning villas and prestigious mansions . For the foreign and affluent clientele such a preserved environment is quite worth living in . .
