16 Rue Benoît Bunico, 06000 Nice , France
What to expect
Garibaldi Square
Ground zero DE our visit. Your Guide will welcome you to this square – the oldest gran DE place DE la ville – to immerse you in the bath – DE la mer et DE l’Histoire-Mother – of this place embraced by God. Prepare to meet DE hunter-gatherers, Greek sailors, Roman inhabitants, Dukes of Savoy and many more. Benvengut!
Promenade des Anglais
Would you like to know more about the Palais Lascaris, the heroine Catherine Ségurane and the white penitents, but you are eager to avoid the beaten track? Nothing could be easier: follow us.
A beautiful 17th century building, which once housed the workplace of the strongest men in the Nice world, and which later provided asylum for those in need. But in between: death sentences were pronounced there. What a story!
Rue Droite
The main street of medieval Old Nice. We'll just walk through it, because otherwise, you'll probably not hear your guide... and completely block the way. What a shame!
Rue Benoît Bunico
How lucky we are to be able to move freely on this street, unlike people from the Jewish community in the Middle Ages. This street was once their ghetto. Let us learn more about their lives, in tribute to all those persecuted, once as today.
Rue Mascoinat
Do we always eat well in Nice? No surprise! However, this has not always been the case... Don't come on an empty stomach!
Colonna Dominique
Want to know more about the 3rd most beautiful square (and 1st according to Specimina Academica) in the city of Nice, but you still prefer to hear your guide without being hustled by lovers of the best ice in the city? Let’s cross Rossetti Square together and stand behind the Cathedral of the Holy Repair. A moment of freshness and crisp anecdotes is guaranteed. I promise. Swore.
Rue Pl. Vieille
Since earlier, your guide feels your eagerness to immerse yourself in the life of Nice, ordinary and therefore authentic. Here we are! Discover the history of Nice’s religious life and its baroque gems, while staying out of sight. The church of Gèsu speaks to you, even if you do not yet know how to listen to it. This is Nice. That is so.
Rue du Malonat
We wouldn't want to scare you, but be prepared for the encounter with the Black Death, the executioner of Nice... and don’t forget to bring your dirty laundry to immerse it in the last wash house in town.
Rue de la Préfecture
When you see which medieval building exactly became the last refuge of a great Niccolò Paganini, you will be shocked by the sumptuous Palace of the Sardinian Kings located a stone's throw away. But it's probably in your ropes.
It's been two hours since you've seen the sea. Because you missed our beautiful sea so much, here we are. But watch out! You have definitely left the medieval perimeter of the city of Nice and are now on the edge of the City of New Brunswick. Setting foot on the Promenade des Anglais, you will enter the most recent part of the History of Old Nice. Keep it up! May God keep you in this discovery of novelty...
How beautiful is our Opera... Too bad she's not looking at the sea. But across the street, look, right across the street. Right here. The wonderful late Baroque style church of Saint-François-de-Paule. She's looking at the sea. Or she's watching the opera. It's up to you!
