Nice, France Old Town

submitted by europelmbh on 03/09/16 1

tourvideos.com/ The Old Town of Nice, France is something very special -- not so much because of historic monuments or great churches or important single buildings that are inside the old town, but just the total atmosphere, the environment, the simple walking lanes, the shops and the people. There are actual locals living here, there are kids out playing, the residents are upstairs looking down from their windows and you really get a feeling of community here, of authenticity, especially in the off-season when it's not too crowded with tourists walking through the lanes -- that helps quite a bit. So there's a beauty in this old town of just simply walking. Now it's often overlooked for example in guidebooks or historical memoirs or even dismissed as a place that's kind of dark and narrow and congested, but it really deserves to be front and center when you come to visit Nice. It's what makes the city so very special, along with the beachfront of course, the marvelous white broad reach and the promenades down by the Mediterranean Sea. The modern downtown certainly is lovely and we/re showing you that as well in our visit to Nice, but these little backplanes are really something special.
