What to expect

1

Promenade des Anglais

This is the real Rising Star of Nice, the famous English promenade. Along the Bay of Angels with its infinite blue, the Prom’ pour les intimates, invites to contemplative walk.

2

Église Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur de Nice

<nil>

The pretty little blue church you see is the Church of Saint James the Major, more commonly called the Church of Gesù. Its story begins with that of a wealthy merchant from Nice, who decides to give a large sum of money to the Jesuits of Nice to found a college.

3
La Maison d'Adam et Eve

At the corner of Rue de la Barillerie and Rue de la Poissonnerie, you can admire the only witness to the ancient tradition of painted houses. It was common in the Middle Ages and Renaissance to carve Bible-inspired bas reliefs on his house.

4

Cr Saleya

<nil>

You are now on the Saleya course, created at the beginning of the 18th century on the space vacated by the now useless perimeter wall.

5

Chapelle de la Misericorde

In the extension of the Saleya course, you can see the small chapel of Mercy, called black penitents. It is considered the most beautiful baroque chapel in Nice.

6

Pl. du Palais de Justice

You arrive at the Place de Justice, dominated by the imposing palace in question, built on the site of the former Dominican convent in 1892.

7
Promenade du Paillon

You don’t realize where you are, but this beautiful walk of the Paillon, seen from the sky, looks like a huge green carpet rolled out across the city.

8
Place Massena

Beneath this sublime and mesmerizing square with its checkered floor, flows the Butterfly that had been buried years ago for reasons of health.

9
Le Jardin Albert 1er

The Albert 1st Garden, created in 1852, is one of the oldest public gardens in Nice. The very first was born in 1828, on the castle hill.

10

La Croix En Marbre Blanc (marble Cross)

This street is called the Rue de France, because it was the one that led to the border before Nice was attached to France. We are entering a new Nice, here no cobblestone streets or orange Italian facades!

11

Monument du Centenaire

The memorial you see now is the Centennial Monument. Look at the foot of the pyramid, the two women represented.

12

Neuf Lignes Obliques

This imposing steel sculpture was commissioned by the city’s mayor to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the annexation of Nice to France. It was installed in 2010, and each of its lines represents the 9 valleys that formed the county of Nice, when it was a state of Savoy.

13

Opera de Nice

The Opera House that stands before you today has changed a lot since it began. It all began in 1776, when the King of Sardinia authorized the Marquise Alli-Maccarani to transform her house into a small wooden theatre.

14

Replica of the Statue of Liberty

Here you will find a replica of the famous Statue of Liberty. A line, yes, but a real one. Signed by Bartholdi's hand.

15

#I Love NICE Viewpoint

Every self-respecting big city now has an Instagramable place bearing the famous hashtag. You are here on the esplanade of the Rauba Capeu wharf which was originally a path carved into the rock.

16
Nice

Climbing to the top of the castle hill is a must to have a real beautiful overview of Nice. It is so essential that the city has installed a free elevator so that no one misses out!

17
Belanda Tower

Here you are at the first lookout point in the Castle Hill Park, admiring the unobstructed view that opens up to you from the Bellanda Tower.

18

Cascade

The waterfall that brings you a little freshness is artificial, but very pleasant. It was intended in the 19th century, at the wish of King Charles Felix of Savoy, who wanted to enlarge and beautify the city.

19

Colline du Chateau

It is on this hill overlooking the sea that the Phocaean Greeks settled, the first inhabitants of ancient Nice then called Nikaia, which means in ancient Greek "the one by whom comes victory"!

20

Nice Harbour

On the east side of the park, you will find the magnificent Lympia port, the seaside and the lighthouse of Nice. You also see the long boulevard Franck Pilatte along the sea around Mont Boron and Cap de Nice.

21

Port Lympia

What could be more peaceful than a walk along the harbour. The old port of Nice lends itself perfectly. Built in the 18th century, at the foot of the ancient citadel, the port Lympia is with that of Cannes, the oldest port on the French Riviera.

22

Place Ile-de-Beaute

This pretty square, called Place de l’île de beauté, offers you a fairytale view of the old port and its sharp edges. The Notre-Dame-du-Port church, with its 4 monumental neoclassical columns, was built in 1830 by decision of King Charles Felix.

23

Garibaldi Square

The history of Nice is inseparable from that of Italy. In 1780, when the King of Sardinia Victor Amadeus III decided to make the road between his capital Turin and Nice bodily, he commissioned a beautiful large square in the heart of the city, to welcome properly the travellers of this royal road.

24

Rue Pairolière

Here you are in one of the most authentic streets of Old Nice. In the Middle Ages, it was home to the corporation of boilermakers, the peerouliers in Niçois, which gave it its current name.

25
Nice

Look carefully at the corner of Rue Droite and Rue de la Loge. Yes, it is a cannonball that you find there, embedded in the wall!!

26
Palais Lascaris

You are now in the one that was the main street of the city in the 17th century. It connected the port to Garibaldi Square. Its name comes from a mistranslation of Nissart Drecha, which meant Direct more than right, but time did its work, and the error was accepted.

27

Cathedrale Sainte-Reparate

Rossetti Square for the shot is really Italy. Facades ochre, balconies flowered, ancient fountain and terraces of cafes, it looks like it! The patron saint of the cathedral, Saint Reparate, is also the patron saint of Florence, as well as other Italian cities.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
