We are convinced that God created Nice last, after having given birth to divine wonders but still remaining divinely Unsatisfied.
Nowadays, not seeing Nice and the French Riviera exclusively as an image of a postcard – idyllic and dreamed of by the whole world – is no small matter. Because the city of Nice – as alpine as it is maritime – is not limited to the caressing yellow of the sun or the blue azure of the murmuring sea, like the famous garment that does not make the monk. Such an approach requires a sensitive and receptive curiosity.
Warning: a high risk of alpine avalanches of laughter and Mediterranean heat waves (human, of course).
Remember, God created Nice last for a good reason. Let's find out together.
Everyone is welcome for this divine Nice co-adventure.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
You will meet at the foot of the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi located in the eponymous square. Your Guide will carry a black bag with the sunny DE name logo of the DE Guide.
You came out of Old Nice unscathed and above all... Curious as ever!

A beautiful 17th century building, which once housed the workplace of the strongest men in the Nice world, and which later provided asylum for those in need. But in between: death sentences were pronounced there. What a story!

(Pass by)
The main street of medieval Old Nice. We'll just walk through it, because otherwise, you'll probably not hear your guide... and completely block the way. What a shame!

How lucky we are to be able to move freely on this street, unlike people from the Jewish community in the Middle Ages. This street was once their ghetto. Let us learn more about their lives, in tribute to all those persecuted, once as today.

Since earlier, your guide feels your eagerness to immerse yourself in the life of Nice, ordinary and therefore authentic. Here we are! Discover the history of Nice’s religious life and its baroque gems, while staying out of sight. The church of Gèsu speaks to you, even if you do not yet know how to listen to it. This is Nice. That is so.

We wouldn't want to scare you, but be prepared for the encounter with the Black Death, the executioner of Nice... and don’t forget to bring your dirty laundry to immerse it in the last wash house in town.

When you see which medieval building exactly became the last refuge of a great Niccolò Paganini, you will be shocked by the sumptuous Palace of the Sardinian Kings located a stone's throw away. But it's probably in your ropes.

It's been two hours since you've seen the sea. Because you missed our beautiful sea so much, here we are. But watch out! You have definitely left the medieval perimeter of the city of Nice and are now on the edge of the City of New Brunswick. Setting foot on the Promenade des Anglais, you will enter the most recent part of the History of Old Nice. Keep it up! May God keep you in this discovery of novelty...

How beautiful is our Opera... Too bad she's not looking at the sea. But across the street, look, right across the street. Right here. The wonderful late Baroque style church of Saint-François-de-Paule. She's looking at the sea. Or she's watching the opera. It's up to you!
