  • The old town of Nice is an interesting warren of shops, bars and restaurants.

    It is great to visit at anytime, but some parts are magical at night.

  • The Parc du Chateau is located atop of a 92 metre high hill, at the eastern end of Quai des Etats-Unis.

    It is a large park, popular with familes.

    From here ther are amazing views across Nice and along the Cote d'Azur.

    You can catch a lift to the Park (from under the Tour Bellanda), or walk up the steps (from eastern end of Rue Rossetti.

    Things To Do: Unusual Art

  • This art work is in a park in Nice. I kind of think it looks like a giant eye-lash!

    There was some other interesting street art around the city, but this was my favourite.

    I'm not sure what it represents. Perhaps someone can tell me!!??

    **Thanks to a lovely VT friend of mine, I now know that this sculpture is called Arc de Venet, named after the sculptor Bernard Venet (from Nice)** Still not sure what it is all about though - apparently modern art doesn't have to have a meaning!

  • On Cours Saleya from Tuesday to Sunday, there is a flower market and a food market.

    There are a number of stalls selling the local speciality - fruits glaces (glazed or candied fruits).
