Why Vieux Nice matters
Old Nice is a warren of narrow streets painted in warm yellows and pinks, with laundry strung across balconies. Baroque churches hide on small squares, and shops sell olive oil, soaps and local snacks. Get lost on purpose, because every turn reveals another shaded square, bakery or tiny chapel.
