The accredited towns and villages respect the following six commitments: 1 > A personal welcome for families 2 > Events suitable for all ages until adolescence 3 > Prices adapted to each age group 4 > Activities for all ages, to experience together or separately 5 > All shops and services to hand 6 > Children pampered by our professionals The establishments displaying the logo undertake to respect the welcome quality criteria (equipment for children, family rates, a special welcome). They are checked every 3 years by an external auditor and every year by the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The city of Nice is going one step further in welcoming the little ones by launching the «Bébés bienvenus / Baby friendly» label. Establishments awarded the label are committed to offering a warm welcome, to families with young children and breastfeeding mothers.
