Nice, voted the Greenest city in France

In December 2021, LeLynx.fr, an online insurance comparator, conducted an investigation with several French cities to determine which is greener. Nice rose to the top of the list with a score of 75.72% green spaces.

The cities of the south are therefore good students since they occupy alone the top 5 of the greenest cities in France.

The criteria of this study concern wooded areas (forests), urban green areas (parks, gardens, etc.) and grassy vegetative areas.

On its 71.92 sqm² of area, the wooded areas of Nice represent 50% and the grassy vegetative areas 20%. This makes it an example to follow.

Moreover, it is the will of the elected representatives of Nice, since 2008, to make it the green city of the Mediterranean. Efforts pay off.

And it’s not over since Nice still plans to increase its green spaces through :

  • Extension of the « Coulée Verte »
  • Creation of new parks;
  • Future tramway line 5

This newline plans to go from the Paillon valley to Drap. It will allow the implantation of 800 trees, 40,000 m² of green way and 7.6 km of bike paths.
