Le Bleu Rivage occupies numbers 7 to 13 boulevard Franck Pilatte, on the seafront where the port of Nice gives way to Cap de Nice. Two eight-storey buildings completed in 1968 to plans by Pierre d’Amico and Jean François-Robert, a garden and ground-floor shops, 236 flats and, with 47 sales recorded since 2022, one of the most liquid addresses on the eastern seafront of Nice. You buy the sea opposite, five minutes’ walk from the quays of the port.

Le Bleu Rivage in brief
The address
Boulevard Franck Pilatte continues quai des Docks eastwards, at the foot of Mont Boron: it is the start of the Basse Corniche, facing the sea, between the Lympia basin and Coco Beach. At numbers 7 to 13 you are five minutes’ walk from the restaurants of the port and place Île de Beauté, ten minutes from Old Nice by the tunnel or the quay, with the tram and bus network on the quays. The area mixes post-war and 1960s buildings — Le Parc Vigier, Les Résidences du Cap de Nice — with a few villas, the sea on one side of the street and the hill on the other.
Two 1968 buildings by d’Amico and François-Robert
The building permit dates from 1957, amended in 1960 to add a storey; the complex was completed in 1968 for SCI Résidences Bleu Rivage on a 10,050 m² plot. The architects Pierre d’Amico and Jean François-Robert set two eight-storey buildings (about 26.50 m) around a gently sloping central square that houses the garages, with commercial premises on the ground floor along the boulevard — a Modern Movement composition recorded by the regional heritage inventory (Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel, Région Sud) as “Immeuble dit Le Bleu Rivage”. The national register of co-ownerships lists 497 lots, including 236 flats and 84 parking spaces, with co-ownership regulations dated 1959.
What you are buying here
The frontal sea view first: the floors facing the boulevard look over the Mediterranean and, in the distance, Cap d’Antibes. The housing stock is that of the 1960s — many studios and two-room flats of 26 to 67 m², three-room flats of 67 to 102 m², a few four-room flats — with long balconies, cellars and, for some lots, a garage or parking space: 26 of the 47 sales recorded since 2022 include at least one ancillary lot. Buyers fall into two groups: the second home or pied-à-terre facing the sea, and the main home of working people who want the port, the beach and the centre on foot.
What sort of apartment will you find at Le Bleu Rivage?
Sales recorded since 2022 range from a 26 m² studio to a 102 m² three-room flat: 16 studios, 16 two-room, 13 three-room and 2 four-room apartments. Studios are 26 to 40 m², two-room flats 45 to 67 m², three-room flats 67 to 102 m² — smaller than at the neighbouring Parc Vigier, hence more accessible entry prices for a seafront address.
What sets the price: the view — frontal sea, side sea or garden —, the floor, the aspect and the size of the balcony, condition — a tastefully renovated apartment sells here far above one in its original state —, and a garage, rare and sought-after on this boulevard.
The most recent published sales at Le Bleu Rivage
Here are the three most recent sales published for this address in the official property transaction database.
- December 2025 — €210,000, 33 m², 1 main room, 1 ancillary lot sold with it, i.e. €6,364/m².
- December 2025 — €200,000, 34 m², 1 main room, no ancillary lot, i.e. €5,882/m².
- October 2025 — €1,750,000, 94 m², 3 main rooms, 3 ancillary lots sold with it, i.e. €18,617/m².
These figures come from the French public property transaction database (Demandes de valeurs foncières, published by the tax authority), which is fed by notarial deeds and released several months in arrears. The amount shown is the price stated in the deed, before notary fees and transfer duties: depending on whether the agency’s commission was payable by the seller or the buyer, it may or may not be included.
They tell you nothing about the floor, the aspect, the view, the condition of the property or the quality of any renovation. The price also covers the whole transaction: where a garage, a cellar or a maid’s room was sold with the apartment, the price per square metre shown is mechanically inflated — which is why we state the number of ancillary lots. We exclude transactions whose price per square metre falls plainly outside the market (dismemberment of ownership, sales between related parties).
Two apartments of identical size in the same building can change hands at very different prices. These sales give an order of magnitude; they are not a valuation. To find out what a specific property is worth, ask us for a valuation.
What sets the price of an apartment at Le Bleu Rivage
Le Bleu Rivage trades within a very wide range, which says everything about the gap between an original-condition lot on the garden side and a renovated apartment facing the sea: across the 47 sales recorded since 2022, prices per square metre run from around €3,800 to €18,600, with a median around €8,000/m²; the 19 sales of 2024 and 2025 mostly sit between €6,300 and €12,500/m², median close to €8,000/m². Studios sold between €115,000 and €442,000, two-room flats between €220,000 and €645,000, three-room flats between €510,000 and €1,750,000 — that last sale, in October 2025, a 94 m² three-room flat with three ancillary lots at €18,600/m², is the highest price per square metre ever recorded on the boulevard.
For a seller, the address is well known and the flow of buyers is real, provided the price is set against comparables with the same view and condition — not against the building’s best sale. For a buyer, it is one of the few addresses on the eastern seafront where a studio or two-room flat facing the sea can still be found below €400,000; the garage and the renovation then make the difference.

Frequently asked questions about Le Bleu Rivage
Do all the apartments at Le Bleu Rivage have a sea view?
No. The two buildings are set around a central square: some lots face the boulevard and the sea, others the garden and the hill. It is the first thing we check, because it is the first price factor — the same two-room flat can be worth twice as much depending on its façade.
Are there garages at Le Bleu Rivage?
Yes, the garages occupy the central square and the register of co-ownerships lists 84 parking lots for 236 flats: not everyone has one, and a lot sold with a garage commands a clearly better price. We check the title and state clearly what is included in the price.
Can I let an apartment at Le Bleu Rivage?
The address lets very well, on annual leases as well as furnished: the sea opposite, the port on foot, beaches and transport on the doorstep. Short-term letting is regulated in Nice (declaration, registration number, change-of-use rules) and the co-ownership regulations may restrict it: we check both before a buy-to-let purchase.
What is my apartment at Le Bleu Rivage worth?
Comparables are numerous but very dispersed: between a garden-side studio and a renovated three-room flat facing the sea, the gap per square metre runs from one to four. We carry out a free and confidential valuation, on site, based on the sales actually recorded in your building, for your view and your condition.
