-
Place MassenaNice’s grand central square, shaped by Italian-style architecture and bold façades, and centred around the majestic Sun Fountain crowned by the figure of Apollo. Here, you’ll discover why Apollo was once expelled from the square and uncover the unexpected secret hidden beneath the Promenade du Paillon, the park that now crosses the square.
-
Promenade des AnglaisThe legendary seaside promenade, stretching along the Bay of Angels and reflecting the beauty and atmosphere that define the city by the sea. Along this celebrated avenue, you’ll learn why it became the “English” promenade and how it plays a key role in Nice’s UNESCO World Heritage status. You’ll also explore stories and myths linked to its icons, see the elegant opera house and you might even come across a real-life murder mystery connected to the promenade.
-
Marche aux Fleurs Cours SaleyaCours Saleya, the lively centre of Nice’s Old Town, is a marketplace where everyday life and trade have unfolded for centuries. While visiting this often busy market street, you’ll find out why Nice was once considered Europe’s flower capital. You’ll also become familiar with Niçois cuisine and its local specialities. This area also has a notable connection to art, as a world-famous artist once lived along the market and painted the landscapes of Nice from his own apartment.
-
Old TownNice’s picturesque Old Town, with its restaurants, boutiques, and galleries, reveals a denser, more intimate side of the city. Tall and colourful façades and tightly arranged buildings reflect a way of life formed by necessity rather than grandeur. As we wander through this historic neighbourhood, you’ll gain insight into its captivating past, explore the area’s Baroque architecture with its distinctive features, and encounter the story of a notorious “heist of the century” connected to these streets.
-
Place RossettiThe most animated square in Nice’s Old Town, framed by cafés, gelato shops, and the Baroque gem Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate. While spending time on the square, you’ll be told the legend of how the cathedral is connected to the Bay of Angels, learn about the area’s hidden underground passages, and sense how this small square continues to bring together the joyful rhythm of city life.
-
Colline du ChateauRising above the Old Town, Castle Hill offers a quieter, more open perspective on Nice, where the city, the sea, and the surrounding hills meet. From this elevated viewpoint, you’ll come to understand how this site played a key role in the early history of Nice, why the castle itself disappeared, and how the story of a local heroine became part of the city’s sense of identity. Wide-ranging panoramas over the Old Town, the port, and the Bay of Angels allow everything explored along the way to fall into place.
