Nice has a reputation for jazz; every July it plays host to the international Jazz Festival. It also has a lively selection of clubs and bars where jazz lovers can hear some great music in smaller confines and on a more regular basis. Some have cover charges, while others have locals jamming until the small hours. Whatever your taste, here’s our selection of the best places to find jazz in town.

Cave Romagnan (Saturdays)

This is a local favourite. The owner Manu is a jazz fan and crams bands into his tiny venue by the railway station. It’s a little rough and ready in its decor and fixtures, but people spill out onto the streets in the summer and the drinks are inexpensive. On Wednesday nights he runs poetry readings and other artistic events.

Opening hours: Saturday nights from 7pm to 10pm for an evening ‘L’apéro Jazz’.

22 rue D’Angleterre, Nice + 33(0)4 93 87 91 55

Jazz can be found somewhere on every night of the week in Nice
