Horse racing plays a visible role in the local sports scene through the nearby Hippodrome de la Côte d’Azur, located just west of Nice in Cagnes-sur-Mer. This racecourse hosts flat racing and trotting events throughout the year, attracting both local spectators and international competitors. The winter racing season is particularly significant, drawing horses and trainers from across Europe. Horse racing in the Nice area blends sporting tradition with Riviera tourism, contributing to the region’s broader equestrian culture.
