Itinerary
1
Garibaldi Square
The starting point of your tour. Your guide will welcome you in this warm spot to immerse you in the waters of the sea and of Mother History — of this place embraced by God. Get ready to meet hunter-gatherers, Greek sailors, and the Dukes of Savoy. Watch your step! Once upon a time, this very place was submerged by the Mediterranean Sea. Benvengut! Yes indeed, you'll hear Nissart during this tour — the place itself demands it.
2
Centre du Patrimoine - Le Senat
A beautiful 17th-century building, which once housed the workplace of the strongest men in the Niçois world, and later offered a refuge to those in need. But in between, death sentences were pronounced here. What a story!
3
Opera de Nice
How beautiful our Opera House is… It’s a pity it doesn’t face the sea. But look, right across from it — just there. The marvelous late Baroque church: Saint-François-de-Paule. She faces the sea. Or perhaps she’s gazing at the Opera. It’s up to you to decide!
4
Les Ponchettes
It's been two whole hours since you last saw the sea. And since you've been missing our beautiful Mediterranean so badly — here we are. But beware! The moment you set foot on the Promenade des Anglais, you step into the most recent chapter of Old Nice's history. Take heart! And Godspeed as you venture into all this novelty...
