10:30 AM – 12:30 PM – Old Town (Vieux Nice) + Cours Saleya Market  
Walk into the colorful, narrow streets of Vieux Nice.

Try a classic snack: socca (chickpea pancake) or pissaladière.

12:30 – 1:30 PM – Colline du Château (Castle Hill)  
Climb the stairs (or take the free elevator) for the best panoramic views of Nice, 
the bay, and the port. Don’t miss the waterfall and park area.
