Part of the town center will become pedestrian-only - yellow and purple zones will be closed to cars. You can park nearby in existing parking spaces. A free parking lot (P1, shown in green on the map) will be available at the entrance of the town, between Avenue du Grand Large and Chemin Canal. It is located 2.5 km from Riva-Bella beach. A pedestrian route (pink line on the map) will be signposted.

Classic cars

Near the Car Show, a Classic Vehicles parking lot (+40 years old) will be located on Boulevard Maritime.
