With Monaco drawing at Dijon on Tuesday, Nice knew victory would take them to the top of the table
Younes Belhanda scored the only goal as Nice returned to the top of Ligue 1 with a 1-0 win over Guingamp.
With Mario Balotelli absent through injury, the Moroccan took over scoring duties, finding the top corner after being put through by Jean Seri.

Thiago Silva and Edison Cavani scored to secure the victory for PSG.
Elsewhere, Lyon bounced back from Sunday's defeat by PSG and moved to fourth after beating Nantes 6-0 thanks to goals from Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette, Maxime Gonalons, Mathieu Valbuena, Mouctar Diakhaby and Nabil Fekir.
At the other end of the table, Nancy moved out of the relegation zone with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Metz.
