27/04/12: Vieux Nice
Vieux Nice is such a delight to explore on foot. As well as many beautiful buildings and squares, the old town is a maze of narrow streets. Tucked away down these are many small shops, restaurants & bars.

The World War Memorial face to the Mediteranean sea.
Promenade des Anglais. This broad promenade along the seafront of the Baie des Anges is often chosen for walking, jogging, skateboarding and other fun activities. It is 7 km long and goes all the way from Old Town to Nice Airport.
The very narrow streets of Nice Vieille Ville are full of beautiful colors; the bright yellow-brown of the houses harmonizes wonderful with the laundry hanging from the windows.
A trip to Nice isn't complete without trying some of the weird and wonderful flavours of ice cream from Fenocchios. The 94 flavours (59 ices-cream and 35 sorbets) to choose from are sure to give your taste buds a treat!
Something is going to happen this evening in Nice!
La Soca. A local speciality of Nice people.
The restaurant is located on the narrow Rue de Sainte-Reparate in Vieux Nice, just a few metres from the Cours Saleya marketplace.
There are a dozen or so small tables located out front on the street, and every night when you pass by it is busy with diners tucking into local dishes.
