Côte d'Azur Airport or Nice Côte d'Azur Airport ( _fr. Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur) Airport codes|NCE|LFMN is an airport in Nice, in the Alpes-Maritimes department of France. The airport is positioned 7km west of the city centre, and is the principal port of arrival for passengers to the Côte d'Azur. It is the third most important airport in France after Charles de Gaulle International Airport and Orly Airport, both in Paris. It is on the Promenade des Anglais, near l'Arénas and has two terminals.
