  • Place Massena

    Our walking tour of Nice begins in the very heart of the city — Place Masséna. This is where the history and culture of Nice come to life. Your guide will share the fascinating story of how Nice began and how this remarkable city was born. The centerpiece of the square is the Sun Fountain, located on its southern side, with the majestic statue of Apollo standing proudly at its center. But there’s more to discover—Place Masséna is adorned with other sculptures and decorative elements that enhance its unique architectural style and create an atmosphere rich in history and culture. Notably, "The Thinkers of Nice," created by artist Jean Fabre, add a distinctive artistic touch to the square. Your guide will take you through these highlights, offering intriguing insights into everything you can find here.

  • Opera de Nice

    As we head towards the flower market at Cours Saleya, we will make a brief stop by the Nice Opera House. In the 19th century, Nice became a winter retreat for European aristocracy, and this magnificent building embodies the spirit of that era. The Opera House was designed by the city architect Brunati in collaboration with Turin architect Perotti. Built in the neoclassical style, the building reflects the strong Italian influence that pervades the architecture of Nice. You will have the opportunity to take beautiful photos with the majestic theater as your backdrop, and to visit the church of one of the oldest Dominican orders, the Dominican Fathers Convent, founded in 1205, located just across from the opera.

The scents of fresh produce and flowers seem to lift everyone’s spirits, creating a friendly and lively atmosphere. You will have free time to explore the market, and your guide will point out where to visit the famous boutique of the Fragonard perfumery and much more.
