Itinerary

Colline du Chateau

30 min

The Castle of Nice is the ideal place if you do not know Nice. Nothing better to get an idea of the city than to watch it from the heights. A magnificent, breathtaking view where you see the city and its surroundings. The Castle leads its history of the Middle Ages. Here you will be seduced by the charm of exotic plants, waterfalls, and historic ruins. At the time, people lived there because there was a fortress, a castle that is unfortunately destroyed by the army of the King of France; Louis XIV in the XVIII. Every day of the year at noon, a cannon shot is given from the Castle for over a century! The origin of this custom dates back to 1860 when Sir Thomas Coventry had settled with his wife at the current Lycée Masséna. Madame, a little talkative, was slow to return. It was then that Sir Coventry imagined a solution to make it back at midday: to fire a cannon at noon!
Marche aux Fleurs Cours Saleya

30 min

Old Nice, well known for its morning flower market on Cours Saleya (a trendy street in Old Nice), its shops, restaurants, bars, and pubs and narrow streets are the most visited district. The origin of the "pan bagnat" (sandwich originally from Nice) has its background of Cours Saleya according to the tales of the locals.
