To evoke the splendor of magnificent Nice, nothing beats the Provencal hymn sung by the hearts of its inhabitants: “O la miéu bella Nissa, Regina de li flou, li tiéu vielhi taulissa, léu canterai toujou” (O my beautiful Nice, queen of flowers, your old roofs I will always sing). These must-sees take you to the heart of Nice County and its enchanting souls. Here are the Top 10 things to see and do in Nice.
Restaurant La Villa Massenet
It's in the heart of the pedestrian zone that you'll find this refined address. In a setting combining old-world charm with modern comforts, come and sample the Villa Massenet's traditional cuisine, lovingly prepared with fresh produce. The restaurant also offers brunches, and is open until midnight every day.
Restaurant La Favola
Immerse yourself in the charm of a small, cosy Italian-style restaurant in the heart of old Nice. Checkered tablecloths, home-style cooking, traditional meals made with fresh produce...

This restaurant has more than enough surprises in store for you, and you'll be won over by its exceptional setting! The terraces are arranged in different areas on the rocks, and linked by a footbridge. The one overlooking the sea is at the foot of the diving board that gives the place its name.
