Exploring Old Nice and the Castle Hill

Hello, Meet People community!

My name is Mathilde, and I’m a passionate tour guide on the French Riviera. I love sharing the history and stories of this beautiful region, as well as introducing visitors to its cuisine!

What I love most about my job is meeting people from all over the world and learning about their cultures, too.

Explore the historic heart of Old Nice. With its narrow alleyways, colorful facades with Italian influences, and the scents of spices and flowers, this fascinating neighborhood takes you on a journey through time. From the famous Cours Saleya market to the Baroque treasures of Sainte-Réparate Cathedral and the Church of the Gesù, each stop reveals a new facet of Nice’s history and architecture. The tour continues to the Château hill, the city’s ancient birthplace. There, an exceptional panorama awaits you: the Baie des Anges on one side, and the harbor and hills on the other.
