Old Town and Castle Hill
The stops, in order
- Old Town NiceWelcome to Old Nice, the city's vibrant and historical heart. As you stroll through this labyrinth of narrow alleyways with ochre and red facades, you will discover the city's Italian soul. Baroque churches, like Sainte-Réparate Cathedral, stand alongside traditional craft shops and small, lively squares.
- Cours Saleya MarketYou are on Cours Saleya, one of the most picturesque spots in Nice. Famous worldwide for its flower market with colorful and fragrant stalls, it is also a meeting point for food lovers. In the morning, producers from the surrounding hills bring sun-drenched fruits, vegetables, and Nice olives.
- Castle Hill ViewpointProudly overlooking the city, Castle Hill is the historical birthplace of Nice. Although the castle itself was destroyed in 1706 by Louis XIV's troops, the site has become a shaded park much loved by the locals. From its 92 meters, you will enjoy a breathtaking panorama over the red roofs of Old Nice, the Bay of Angels, and the hinterland mountains, often snow-capped in winter.
