Walking Tour of the Old Town of Nice, France, Nice, France

While in Nice, I decided to put together a little walking tour of the Old Town. It鈥檚 a route that you can follow to see most of the historic sites (with lots of shops and restaurants along the way).

Nice鈥檚 Old Town is where it all started. At one time this was the entire city, and that鈥檚 why so much of Nice鈥檚 history is concentrated in this small area.

The walking tour is designed to go along with my book, Curious Histories of Nice, France, but, of course, it can be used without it. The book, however, goes into much more detail about the quirky history and characters of the city. At the end of each section, I list the page number in the book for the associated story. Enjoy your walk through the Old Town!

Place Massena is the heart of the city. Just off this plaza, you鈥檒l notice a park with a shallow water feature from which jets of water spring into the air. It鈥檚 called the聽Promenade du Paillon聽and it鈥檚 named after the Paillon River which still flows beneath it. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
