A historian by training, I invite you to explore the most beautiful streets of Nice. Let's start with Boulevard Victor Hugo, drawn in 1832 by the city's Beautification Council. We will discover the emblematic remains of the Belle Époque, a period which saw the erection of numerous buildings in Nice, often called “palaces”. The Musicians’ Quarter is a striking example. It illustrates the grandeur of this era, marked by the presence of European and Russian nobility. I offer you exclusive tours of the Russian church which is the first built in France and the one which is the last built during the time of the tsars. These buildings contain treasures from this period. Between visits, we will explore some architectural gems of the Belle Époque and taste local products. If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, this walk is for you.
