Together for eco-friendly tourism
All human activities have an impact on the ecological balance of our planet. Respect for the environment is nowadays a central issue.
The Beau Rivage hotel has decided to go one step further and obtain the "Clef Verte" label.
We would like to involve you in this approach to "Eco-Friendly" tourism
Why "Green Key"?
Developed in France since 1998, the Clef Verte label is the first Ecolabel for tourist establishments in France and internationally. Renowned for its seriousness, the "Clef Verte" label guarantees that you are staying in an establishment that is committed to the planet through regular audits and controls, to enable the development of sustainable, ecologically virtuous and socially responsible tourism.
ON THE WAY TO SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
GOING GREEN IN NICE
By bike on the Nice cycle paths
The City of Nice and the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis have adopted a genuine cycling policy, based on a public transport development plan.
It is a great cycling area. Its coastal roads offer panoramic views across the Mediterranean, its hilly hinterland offers great variety, and its legendary mountain passes have played a large part in building the legend of the Tour de France and Paris-Nice.
However, cycling is not just about outstanding athletes. Above all, it is an inexpensive and fast way of getting around that is good for your health and air quality. It is for all generations: enthusiasts and occasional cyclists, adults and children, seniors and people with disabilities, and even those who do not always have the means to do so. It is a source of sharing, social cohesion, good health and sustainable development.
Suitable for daily use, tourism and leisure, it is an essential tool for the ecological transition.

By Bus and Tram from Nice
* the tramway in Nice :
It allows you to move around Nice city centre and its outskirts while avoiding traffic. Moreover, from an energy point of view, the tramway (for the same number of passengers per kilometre) is more economical than the private car and the bus. By limiting car traffic on the routes it uses, it also reduces local air pollution along the line and noise pollution.
o Line 1 provides a north/east link via the city centre via Avenue Jean Médecin and Place Masséna and allows you to travel 21 hours a day! From Monday to Sunday from 4.25am to 1.35am...
o Line 2 provides a west-east link from the airport (or CADAM) to the city centre (Jean Médecin station) ending at the port of Nice
o Line 3 provides a link between the airport and Saint-Isidore via the Allianz Riviera Stadium
* the bus in Nice :
The Lignes d'Azur bus network comprises more than 93 routes serving the 49 communes of the Nice Côte d'Azur metropolitan area. It offers a wide range of timetables and a single, attractive fare structure.

Blue Flag beaches and ports
Created by Teragir in 1985, the Blue Flag is awarded each year to municipalities and marinas that have a permanent policy of sustainable tourism development.
As a tourist, visit a beach Blue Flag means choosing a site with a number of facilities to minimise the impact of tourist numbers. Sorting bins are available to recycle waste, and sanitary facilities ensure that bathing water is of the highest quality. Safety and accessibility for all are also taken into account, as is information about the quality of the bathing water and the local flora and fauna. Throughout the year, and particularly during the summer season, local authorities committed to the label organise a variety of activities to raise awareness of the environment.
The marinas are places where protecting the environment and the marine environment is a priority. Yachtsmen have access to careening areas with no discharge into the natural environment, systems for recovering waste water from boats and areas for recovering special waste. Just like the local authorities, Blue Flag marinas offer environmental activities to raise awareness among yachtsmen and visitors of the fragility of the environment.
