Château de Nice

Château de Nice : The Michelin guide review

This is in fact a 92m-high hill with a shaded footpath climbing up to the site of the old château (destroyed in 1706 by Louis XIV’s armies). From the top there’s a bird’s eye view over the rooftops of the old town and the Baie des Anges. Remains of the 11C cathedral can be seen to the southeast, with a 360° view from the top. Below the terrace are waterfalls fed by water from the Vésubie river.
