The Nice Prealps are a massif in the southern part of the French Prealps located mainly in the south-east of the French department of Alpes-Maritimes and, for a very small part, in the Italian region of Liguria between the Roya river and the Franco-Italian border.
The massif extends to the Mediterranean Sea between the Castellane Prealps (west of the Var), the Mercantour-Argentera massif (south of the Planquette and Cayros rivers) and the Ligurian Alps (west of Roya).
Between Nice and Ventimiglia, it mostly overlooks the eastern part of the Côte d'Azur via escarpments linked to a collapse fault.
These prealps are made up of clayey limestone (molasse).[1]
