Will it work if I day-trip to Monaco or Italy?

This is a France plan, so coverage stops at the border. Monaco and Italy run separate networks and may incur roaming or no service, so check your plan's terms before crossing. Within France, including all of the Riviera, you're covered.

How much data for a week on the Riviera?

A week of maps, coastal train bookings and beach photos suits most travellers on 5-10GB. The same plan works right along the French coast, from Cannes to Menton, so one eSIM covers your whole Riviera trip.

Good to know in Nice

Nice's tram line 2 runs right to the airport terminals, but note Monaco and Italy use separate networks. A France plan may not roam there, so confirm coverage before you cross the border for the day.

Two simple ways to buy

Nice eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Nice eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Nice — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Nice eSIM: your local data guide.

The Côte d'Azur rewards spontaneity, and a Nice eSIM lets you seize it - check the train timetable to Antibes, pin a rocky swimming spot below the Promenade, or translate the market chatter at Cours Saleya. From Vieux Nice's ochre lanes to the viewpoint atop Colline du Château, your maps and bookings stay live.

One eSIM for Nice and all of France. It's the national France eSIM — from $2.59/day with unlimited data, working the same in Nice as it does the moment you leave it.

Peace of mind

Your Nice eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Nice eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Nice, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
