Emblematic places - Lieux emblématiques
It is impossible to talk about Nice without mentioning the famous “Promenade des Anglais”. Once the
favorite winter holiday destination for the English (from which it takes its name), it is now the spearhead
of the promotion of tourism in Nice abroad. It is on the prom' that 2 of Nice's 3 5-star hotels are located.
World-famous, this 7km palm-lined promenade runs from the Château hill to Nice airport.
If you are coming to Nice for the first time, we recommend that you do at least the part that goes from
the old Nice to the Negresco Hotel, via the Albert 1er Park and the Palais de la Méditerrannée.
If you want to do the entire English walk, it is best to rent a bike or rollerblades!

The hill of the Castle
The Castle is the park located on the hill overlooking the old Nice, which owes its name to the military
fortress that overlooked the bay of Nice from the 11th to the 18th century. This park is particularly worth
it for the different views it offers of the city, Baie des Anges, the port and the mountains.
You have 5 points of view from the hill of the Castle:
• At the very top, with a view of the airport and the mountains
• Close to the air of games for children, view on the port and the hill of Mount Boron,
• Belllanda Tower: view of the Baie des Anges
• Belvedere near the exit of the elevator
• Cascade du Château, an artificial waterfall, but very pretty!
You can walk up and down the Castle or take the elevator. We recommend that you take at least one of
the walking routes by the stairs, as this allows you to pass through the Bellanda Tower lookout we
mentioned above. If you go down the other side, take a walk through the cemetery of the Castle, which
also offers a very beautiful view of the city. To do at the end of the day to enjoy the sunset!

Go to the beach in Nice
If the beach of Nice is pretty in photo, with its large pebbles, it is not necessarily the most comfortable in
the world!
As for swimming, it's the same thing, in Nice, the water quickly becomes very deep, so it's not really
ideal for snorkeling or playing in the water for example!
For this, we recommend that you go to Villefranche sur Mer or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
And if you like to sunbathe for hours, you can go to one of Nice's private beaches, such as Castel plage
for example (at the foot of the Castle) or others if you want to do water activities such as parasailing, the
up paddle stand or the towed buoy!

The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Nice
The Cathedral of Saint Nicolas in Nice, classified as a historical monument, is the most important religious
building of Orthodox worship outside Russia. Even if very far from the kind of things you expected to do
in Nice, it is worth taking a look, if only to appreciate the contrast between the architecture and the
Mediterranean vegetation and even the palm trees that are just around!
It is also possible to visit the inside of the cathedral.

Walking on the coastal path
This path, very little known to tourists, is in 2 parts and allows you to walk from Nice to Villefranche sur
Mer, while following the sea for 90% of the time.
• The first part starts from Coco Beach and takes you up to Cap de Nice by a series of stairs, in order to
go around the cliffs of Palais Materlinck.
• The second part of the coastal path begins with a descent down the stairs into the large bend, after
the Palais Materlinck and allows you to reach the Darsse de Villefranche
The walk is not very long, if you want to do it all from
Nice, it takes about 1h30-2h depending on where you
are leaving from. It is quite possible to do only one of
the 2 parts. If you only want to do the second one (30-
45 minutes), you can take the bus number 100 from
the port of Nice to the "English hospital" stop. The
beginning of the shoreline trail is about 200m further
on, in the bend.
To return to Nice, take bus 81 or 100 to Villefranche
sur Mer.
A section allowing to pass through the cliffs was currently under study, which would allow to do Nice -
Villefranche-sur-Mer entirely by the seaside, but it seems that the project is unfortunately at a standstill.

This course is very picturesque. A must see place in a visit to Nice, it is the soul of the old town and its focal point. Surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants, it is constantly lively from 6am to late at night all year round. From Tuesday to Sunday, it hosts the traditional market with its fruit and vegetable stalls and the must-see flower market. Monday is the day of antique dealers and other flea markets: there are more or less rare objects from all periods. After this walk, you can also awaken your taste buds with local specialities: focaccia, socca, bread sticks and other pissaladières... In the evening, the view of the illuminated castle hill is enchanting.

Musées / Museums
Our favourite museums in which we regularly enjoy spending time.
Inaugurated in 1963 on the second floor of the Villa des Arènes, situated within the archeological site in Cimiez, the Musée Matisse holds the artist’s and his heirs’ gifts to the City of Nice.
In 1989, the Archeological Museum, which shared the same building, moved out to its own dedicated building to launch a remodeling of the Museum. Architect Jean-François Bodin rethought the interior spaces of the old Genovese villa and conceived the expansion that accommodated a vast foyer, an auditorium and a bookshop. The new building was inaugurated in 1993. An educational workshop was added in 2002, a Cabinet des dessins in 2003.
Classified as “Musée de France,” the Musée Matisse covers a total surface of 2,800 m2, of which 1,200 m2 of exhibition spaces spans the villa and the expansion. In 2013, the ceramic La Piscine, a gift from Claude and Barbara Duthuit, was installed in a dedicated room, on the entrance level. In 2017, a renovation campaign commenced. It began with a recasting of the visitors’ itinerary, the remodeling of the entrance space and the installation of educational devices.
The Musée Matisse is part of a vast patrimonial complex of the Cimiez site that includes the Roman arenas and ruins, a garden with hundred-years old olive trees, as well as the Cimiez monastery.
