Nice eSIM plans
Nice Côte d’Azur is right on the coast, with the tram running from both terminals into the centre, and the France plan is connected as the plane taxis past the beach. The city is the base for the whole Riviera: Monaco, Antibes, Cannes and the villages above are all day trips on the same eSIM, with Italy an hour away by train.
The cheapest Nice eSIM is $1.93 for 1 GB · 7 days; unlimited data costs $1.10 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Plans run on Orange, with 5G. Prices checked 9 November 2026.

Nice eSIM questions
How much does an eSIM for Nice cost?
Plans start at $1.10; a data plan costs from $1.93 for 1 GB · 7 days. Unlimited daily data costs $1.10 a day (the first 500 MB each day at high speed, then 512 Kbps under the fair use policy). Prices are in US dollars and include everything: no roaming fees, no subscription.
Does the France eSIM work in Monaco?
Usually, as Monaco’s networks accept roaming from French plans, but Monaco is a separate country and some plans exclude it. Check the plan’s coverage list before you go; a Europe plan is the safe choice.
Can I use the same eSIM for a day in Italy?
Not a France-only plan. For Ventimiglia, San Remo or further, choose a Europe plan that lists both countries; it costs about the same for the week.
