Old Town: My Favourite Part of Nice

My favourite part of Nice is the old town. Its beautiful, cobbled streets, brightly coloured buildings and romantic shabbiness make it feel like another world. Reflecting Nice's history, the Italian influence is plain to see. From the architecture to the narrow passageways to the gelaterias, it oozes franco-italian charm. 

Away from the sun's heat, the cool, dark streets are a little oasis in which to lose yourself. You'll see thick-armed mamans shaking out their laundry, chic couples kissing in dark corners and little kids playing with stray dogs. It's wonderful.
