Fly from Nice to Atlanta

Whether you have two, three or four Nice-Atlanta return-flight tickets in your bag, as a couple, family or group of friends, we guarantee that your adventure on the other side of the Atlantic will be packed with discoveries and enjoyment, whatever your aspirations for your trip. Keen to get to the heart of a truly American city? Atlanta will satisfy your thirst for skyscrapers, shopping malls and burgers, especially since this vast city is easy to get around on foot. Looking for cultural experiences? You’re in for a treat: the Georgian capital has several treasures waiting to be discovered. First, some poignant historical events: the American Civil War which left it in ruins, and the story of Martin Luther King, the local boy turned hero. Second, it cultivates its bohemian side, in its museums and on its city walls, and through its many street art creations. Keen to share some fun experiences with your little ones? Take them for a ride on the ferris wheel or roller coaster, go and see an American football match or visit a wildlife park. And if you feel in need of nature, take a stroll in the city’s parks and gardens, or head out to the countryside, to Stone Mountain Park, nestled in 1,300 hectares of natural beauty, which never fails to surprise and delight its visitors.

• Reach for the sky to admire Atlanta and its huge buildings, taking advantage of SkyView Atlanta, a 60-metre high ferris wheel with comfortable, air-conditioned gondolas, conveniently located in the city centre. A great experience, day or night!
• Share the dream described by Martin Luther King: that of a better, non-violent world. For the full experience, visit the Martin Luther King national historical park. It includes several emotionally charged sites: the birth home of the Noble Peace Prize winner, his church, his grave and a museum.
• Win a gold medal in lazing around, by enjoying a picnic at Centennial Olympic Park. This wonderful green area spanning nine hectares was built for the 1996 summer Olympics. Its live music concerts are just one of its many attractions.
• Stroll through the streets of Cabbagetown or Little Five Point s, the city’s trendiest neighbourhoods. On the agenda: street art everywhere you look, truly original shopping opportunities, and an impressive choice of hype bars and restaurants.
• Get a behind-the-scenes look at a global icon, Atlanta’s great source of pride: the Coca-Cola Company. The city is home to the global headquarters of Dr. Pemberton’s famous soda. It even has its own museum, the World of Coca-Cola, where you can try twenty or so homemade sodas for free, among other attractions.
• Experience the unique atmosphere of American sports: baseball, American football and basketball, with the Atlanta Hawks who regularly take on the biggest NBA teams at their jam-packed home venue: the State Farm Arena.
• On roller blades or by bike, walking or running, make your way around the city centre on the BeltLine, a disused railway loop converted into a multi-use trail. Along the way, you’ll be treated to art, greenery, panoramic views and delicious food and drink.
• Visit one of the planet’s three largest aquariums. The Georgia Aquarium hosts over 120,000 marine animals belonging to 500 different species, including the manta ray and the whale shark. Don’t forget that the city is also home to a zoo, one of the few in the world where you can see pandas.
• And if you’re a fan of Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell House is well worth a visit. The writer’s former home now houses a museum devoted to her life and work. Visitors are shown around her office, preserved exactly as she left it when she died, and soak up the atmosphere of the film and novel that inspired it.
• Make your way to Stone Mountain Park, located around twenty minutes outside of the city. This vast natural park offers a host of attractions: a cable car that takes you to a lookout area with amazing views, a spectacular laser show, a lake, two golf courses and, above all, a gigantic sculpture paying tribute to the Confederate heroes of the American Civil War.
