This tour is perfect for travelers who value culture, authenticity and storytelling.
It offers a meaningful introduction to the soul of Nice, its history, its architecture, its Mediterranean identity and its unique cultural heritage.

My guests often describe this tour as the highlight of their stay in Nice, 
a moment where the city suddenly makes sense, becomes more coherent, more alive, and beautifully human.

Designed to be both comfortable and rich in information, the experience unfolds in two parts:

1. A seated moment in an authentic café known for its history and its iconic Niçois setting (approx. 1h).
All comfortably seated, sipping on coffees or other drinks (they also serve freshly baked croissants), I share with you a clear and captivating overview of the 2,500 years of stories that shaped the city. With carefully selected historical materials, we explore the fascinating layers of Nice’s past and how they still influence daily life today.
Kindly note that any drinks or food you may order are at your own expense.

2. An immersive walk through the Old Town (approx. 2h), we wander through the narrow streets and colorful façades, discovering hidden architectural gems, local traditions, surprising anecdotes, and the vibrant atmosphere of this historical district.
The Old Town becomes a living stage where every façade, alleyway and shadow reveals a part of Nice’s identity.

We walk at your pace, stopping whenever a detail, a color or a story calls for attention.
Everything is adapted to your rhythm and curiosity.

Along the way, you will see :
• The Flower Market, the morning food market (mornings, Tuesday to Sunday), the charming flea market (Mondays).
• The oldest sweet shop in the city
• The Opera House
• Matisse’s former home
• Beautiful views on Castle Hill and its waterfall
• The Baroque Cathedral Sainte-Réparate
• The façade of the Lascaris Palace
• The 17th-century city hall
• The small local fish market
• Hidden chapels, intimate squares, and quiet lanes
• Architectural details reflecting centuries of Mediterranean influences
…and many other wonders.

Usual meeting point: Place Masséna.
However, I can also meet you at your hotel, the train station, or your bus stop, depending on how you arrive in Nice.

Because each traveler is different, this tour can be extended or personalized.
If you wish, we can also:
• enjoy a shared lunch in a local restaurant
• explore additional neighborhoods
• spend more time on specific historical periods
• include a meal together
