Car
If you are driving from Monte Carlo Beach, head towards Boulevard Charles III and take a left onto Avenue de la Costa. Continue driving until you reach the roundabout and take the second exit onto Avenue Princesse Grace. Follow this road as it becomes Boulevard Louis II, then merge onto the A8 highway in the direction of Nice. Take exit 55 towards Nice-Centre and merge onto Route de Turin. Follow the signs for Nice and continue straight for about 5 km. As you approach the center of Nice, look for signs to Cimetière du Château, which is located on Allée François Aragon. The cemetery is situated on a hill, so you may need to find parking nearby and walk up the steps to the entrance.
