  • Nice is the first city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region to receive the “Ma Ville se Ligue” label – level 3 ribbons – and ranks among the first four French cities to obtain this distinction.
  • This certification highlights health prevention initiatives and concrete actions against preventable cancers.
  • The label recognizes exemplary measures such as smoke-free areas, action against endocrine disruptors, healthy and high-quality collective catering, and the fight against pollution through an ambitious climate plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and fine particles.

A committed path toward health prevention

On July 1, 2025, the National Labelling Committee (CNL) awarded the City of Nice the “Ma Ville se Ligue” label at the level of excellence – 3 ribbons – for a period of two years. This distinction, granted by the French League Against Cancer, places Nice among the first four French cities recognized for concrete commitment in the fight against preventable cancers.

The award builds on the policy pursued by the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, itself a pioneer with the “Ma Métropole se Ligue” label obtained in 2024. This dual metropolitan and municipal commitment reflects a structured environmental health strategy.

Concrete actions led by the city

Since 2008, the City of Nice has implemented a series of measures built on an integrated vision of public health and the environment. Municipal green spaces have been free of pesticides for more than fifteen years. In school canteens, 30% of food comes from organic farming, and plastics were eliminated as early as 2019.

Other innovative initiatives include France’s first smoke-free beach, inaugurated in Nice in 2012, and the signing in 2021 of the “Cities and Territories Free from Endocrine Disruptors” charter. These strategic orientations demonstrate a strong commitment to population health, particularly for the most vulnerable, such as children.

By recognizing the city as exemplary in this field, the League Against Cancer highlights the joint mobilization of elected officials and municipal services. This national recognition comes in a context where cancer remains the leading cause of death among men and the second among women in France, underlining the critical importance of prevention.
