Seasonal treats

Santo Gelato showcases its expertise at the Place d’Armes, where the sorbets are made from fruit sourced directly from the stalls at the La Condamine market, and where the cones and biscuits served are produced locally in the Exotic Garden neighbourhood. Further down, on Rue Caroline, Gelato Crea offers its natural, artisanal Italian ice creams made with fresh fruit, as does Rossi – La bottega del gelato , where you can’t resist its traditional treats, situated on Place Sainte-Dévote. Near Square Gastaud, in the La Condamine district, Villa Portofino is home to La Gelateria. Here you’ll find ice creams and full-fruit sorbets, all made in La Turbie using natural ingredients. For a refreshing break with a view of the yachts, head to Port Hercule and the Häagen-Dazs shop with its unique recipes and cosy atmosphere. The Larvotto seaside resort also has its own ice-cream parlour , which has been situated right by the water’s edge since 1967: the perfect spot to enjoy a sunny break with your feet in the sand.
