What if you could put headphones on your smartphone and have a knowledgeable expert (me) guide you through the streets of Vieux Nice step by step? What if you heard directions as you walked and listened to explanations of each Vieux Nice highlight? What if you didn’t even have to look at your phone because the audio triggers automatically at each stop? 

Well you can! On the audio tour, “The Best of Nice’s Old Town: Highlights, Legends and Secret Spots” I’ll take you to Vieux Nice’s most fascinating spots and tell you all about them. Here’s some of what you’ll see:

In addition to the most iconic baroque churches and palaces, you’ll discover:

  • Where Matisse, Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon stayed
  • The tavern Raoul Dufy painted
  • How Cours Saleya got its name
  • Where executioners once washed their hatchets
  • The “Adam and Eve” frieze
  • The Jewish Quarter
  • The legend behind Nice’s patron saint, Reparata 
  • The legend of naughty Catherine Segurane

It’s easy to get lost in Vieux Nice’s maze of streets but not with me guiding the way. I’ll also be pointing out easy-to-miss details on the buildings and tell you where you can go behind closed doors. And, you don’t even need a data connection to follow the tour.

My latest audio tour “Navigating Nice’s Belle Epoque: A Guide to the UNESCO Heritage City” is an exciting and unusual walk through the part of Nice that Unesco recently designated a World Heritage Site. From the outer edges of the Old Town, along the Promenade and through the prestigious Carre d’Or neighborhood you’ll marvel at the architecture and urban landscape that made Nice the pride of the Riviera. You’ll hear how, from the mid-1800s onwards, every decision to urbanize Nice aimed to increase the comfort and enjoyment of its British, American and Russian visitors.

So, how does it work?

To go out and do the tour, all you need is a FREE audio tour VoiceMap app for iPhones and Android devices. Install it on your smartphone via Apple AppStore or Google Play’s store.

Still unsure? Once you find the tour you can listen to the first three locations for FREE. I just know you’ll be impressed. And don’t forget to leave a rating afterward!
