OcéaNice transfer — Nice Port Convention Centre
Since 30 April 2025 this is where Nice holds its conventions — on the port, in place of Acropolis. The district is largely pedestrian: the drop-off address matters more here than elsewhere.

Car park height
A van does not fit under 2,10 m
The car park takes light vehicles up to a little over two metres: a sedan gets in, a van does not. Groups are therefore set down at street level, as close as possible to a usable entrance.
This is the most useful piece of information on this page, and also the hardest to find: it lives on the car park’s price list, not on the event’s “getting here” page. Our two van ranges — the First Class Van and the Standard Van — are raised passenger vehicles. State the number of passengers when you book: the range follows from that, and so does the drop-off point.
Where your chauffeur drops you
OcéaNice opened on 30 April 2025 on quai Amiral Infernet, in the port of Nice. It is the venue that has taken over the city’s convention role: the Acropolis conference centre no longer hosts events, the city has begun taking it down, and the Métropole is preparing an exhibition and convention park at Grand Arénas, announced for delivery between 2029 and 2032.
The nearest car park is Port Lympia, quai Lunel: 382 spaces, ten bays reserved for people with reduced mobility, forty electric vehicle bays, open seven days a week, first fifteen minutes free. Its height limit is 2,10 metre — a van does not get in. The Entrecasteaux car park, quai des Docks, has 53 spaces and thirty minutes free, with no published height.
The city centre around the port is described by the operator itself as largely pedestrian. This is exactly the kind of district where an approximate address costs ten minutes on foot with luggage: give the quay and the building, and your chauffeur waits as close as possible to a usable entrance.
For comparison: OcéaNice puts the airport twenty-five minutes away by tram with no change, on lines 2 and 3 to the Port Lympia stop. That is a good answer with one suitcase; it is a poor one with four, an evening flight and a conference the next morning.
