Beauty Island Square
Nice
This guided tour will also take place on Wednesday, September 23 at 2pm!
Did you know that? Nice had its own prison (active until 1850!) and it was its convicts who built the port to a large extent... Started in 1750, the work lasted more than a century and a half! Today mainly marina and tourist, residential area with many restaurants, it was not always the same for the port Lympia ... Even if Nice is not a port city par excellence like Marseille, the eventful history of its port is quite exciting and allows to illustrate many aspects of the history of Nice as a whole!
We will make a (walking) tour of the port of Nice, exploring the bottom of the harbour and its two "wings", pushing up to rauba Capeu and Galerie Lympia.
During this visit, we will have the opportunity to discuss (among other things) many of the neighbourhood's strengths:
The Church of Our Lady of the Port framed by its two Genoese neoclassical buildings; the charming village of antique dealers; colorful sharps, pride of the port; the former prison of Nice, today (since 2017) the Lympia Gallery; Applevage No. 14 crane, the only remnant of the commercial past of the port of Nice...
And remember: surprises, good addresses and meetings are to be expected!
