Nice is best known for being one of the most famous French Riviera cities, where the rich and famous travel to and enjoy the warm sun and waters of the Mediterranean Sea. But there’s much more to know about Nice. Come with us to discover the stunning Old Town, or “Le Vieux Nice”, a honeycomb of winding old streets filled with the delicacies of its restaurants, boulangeries, boutique shops and beautiful baroque churches. This city bustles like a beehive of things to see, eat and drink, both day and night. Once known as Nikaia, a Greek colony founded in the 4th century before Christ, its name means “victory”, from the Greek word “Nike”.
Being one of the fifth most populated cities in France, walking in the city centre is the best way to get to know “Nice the Beautiful”, as it has been known for centuries. We will take you from the city below to the hills below its castle and the best views over the coast.
