Welcome
- Experience the sunny flavours of Niçoise cuisine: the pan bagnat, the various stuffed recipes, or the pissaladière (a pizza topped with anchovy purée)…
- Take a walk down the Promande des Anglais and admire the lavish facades of the Ruhl Casino, the Palais de la Méditerranée, and the Negresco hotel.
- Discover the mixed heritage of this great city with the Palais de Lascaris, a Genovese vestige, but also the Anglican Church and the Russian Church. -
See, visit, discover…
Head to the top of the colline du chateau to admire the panoramic view, and then lost yourself in narrow, old-style streets of the old-town with its squares and bell-towers (indlucing that of the Sainte-Réparate Cathedral).
Get yourself to the Cimiez Hill and go back in history to the Roman era; in the Monastery cemetery, you can pay your respects to the tombs of Matisse, Roger Martin du Gard, or famed painter Raoul Dufy.
Take some time out on Cours Saleya, the main pedestrian street, on the esplanade du Paillon, in the Botanical Gardens, the Albert I Gardens, or the Vigier Park. -
