Weekend Events in Nice – 1st and 2nd November 2025

Weekend in Nice: Between Shows, Exhibitions and Traditions

Two days on the French Riviera between art, theatre and Mediterranean charm

Vibrant and sunlit, Nice is the cultural heart of the French Riviera, a place where French elegance meets Mediterranean energy.
A city of art, sea and light, Nice turns every weekend into a mosaic of experiences — from theatre and exhibitions to gastronomy, music and conviviality.

The weekend of 1–2 November 2025 promises a particularly rich program, bringing together the very best of the city’s artistic and popular scene in a warm, autumn atmosphere.

🎭 Saturday, 1 November – Theatre, music and culture in the city centre

On Saturday, Nice comes alive with performances and creative events across its theatres:

• At the Théâtre de la Cité, “Music & Me – 8th edition” celebrates live music and urban sounds in an evening full of rhythm and energy.

• On Place Saint-François, “Procès des grands personnages: Sarah Bernhardt” offers a theatrical “trial” retracing the remarkable life of the legendary French actress.

• At the Cinéma Pathé Masséna, Jean-Baptiste Mazoyer presents “Le Maître du jeu”, blending theatre and performance in a contemporary style.

• The Théâtre de l’Impasse hosts a double feature with “Cuisine et dépendances” and “La Roulette Russe”, two witty comedies exploring relationships and modern life with irony.

• Over at the Théâtre Bellecour, audiences can enjoy romantic humour with “Je préfère qu’on reste amis” and “En couple !”, two light-hearted plays about friendship, love and everyday absurdities.

🎭 Sunday, 2 November – Classics and comedies for every taste

Sunday continues with more theatre across the city:

• At the Théâtre de l’Alphabet, laughter awaits with “Le Médecin malgré lui”, Molière’s timeless farce reimagined with modern flair.

• The Théâtre Bellecour presents “Fugueuses”, a tender and humorous tale of two women escaping their daily routines in search of freedom.

• Until this same date, “Capucine et Floréal” at the Théâtre de l’Eau Vive invites spectators into a poetic journey through music and words.
