Where Azure Waters Meet Ancient Stone
The Greeks called it Nikaia \u2014 city of victory. For over two thousand years, this jewel of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur has seduced emperors, artists, and aristocrats. It was Italian before it was French, a fortress before it was a resort, a place where Matisse found his light and queens took their last free breath of Mediterranean air.
Your mission: walk the cobbled lanes of Vieux Nice, climb the hill where a castle once stood, and uncover the secrets hidden behind pastel facades and baroque domes. Ten stops. Ten riddles. Two thousand years of history.
"Nice is not merely a winter station. It is a city of art, of light, and of flowers." \u2014 Tobias Smollett, 1765
