What to expect
Expect a leisurely pace through the tangled streets of Vieux Nice, where your guide points out architectural details and tells you stories woven into the neighbourhood's fabric. You'll stop frequently—partly to catch your breath at lookout spots, partly to absorb the character of each corner. Lunch happens midway, at a spot serving traditional Niçois food. The dishes are straightforward: fried chickpea batter, salty anchovy toasts, vegetables packed with herbs. It's not fancy cooking; it's what locals have eaten for generations.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes—cobblestones dominate. The guide is a Niçois native, so expect insider knowledge most guidebooks miss. Public transport runs nearby if you need a break. Infant seats available if travelling with small children.
