St. Laurent is the second-largest suburb of the city of Nice, after Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the urban community of Nice Côte d'Azur. It lies adjacent to it on the west side on the other side of the river Var.
Nowadays, the town has developed much and its population has been multiplied by ten in the last century and it is now part of Nice metropolitan area.
The suburb's positioning, close to Nice and with an abundance of flatlands - which is a rare resource in this region - led to the building of CAP 3000, the Côte d'Azur's biggest mall, and an industrial zone with many dynamic activities.
St. Laurent is located close to "Nice Côte d'Azur" Airport, in the eastern side of Var river, Nice. The town also has a harbour, an interchange on the motorway A8 and a railway station on the Marseille-Toulon-Nice-Ventimiglia line.
A city of character, St. Laurent du Var offers to connaisseurs both the advantages of a modern city and the charm of an ancient village.
While walking about in the shady narrow streets, you can admire remnants of the past, then you can take the green promenade along the Var to the magnificent commercial center and its many boutiques.
At the water's edge, the Promenade de Landsberg-am-Lech, followed by the Promenade des Flots Bleus will lead you to the marina. Because of its numerous attractions, St. Laurent is faithful to its motto: "Digo li que vengon" which means "Tell them to come".
