Start Point: Villefranche Cruise Terminal

Your journey begins as we greet you at the Villefranche Cruise Terminal

Nice – Cours Saleya, Old Town and Castle Hill (Colline du Château)

Start your day exploring the heart of Nice, the Cours Saleya, known for its colorful flower and food markets. This lively, picturesque street is lined with vibrant stalls, offering an explosion of colors from the fresh flowers, fruits, and local produce. Capture the vibrant hues of the market with close-up shots of the flowers or the bustling atmosphere of the market. As you wander through the Old Town (Vieux Nice), the narrow streets and colorful facades provide an excellent backdrop for photos.

Don’t miss the iconic “I Love Nice” sign located at the seafront near the Promenade des Anglais. It’s a great spot for a fun, playful shot that showcases your love for this stunning city.

Next, head to Castle Hill, the best vantage point in Nice. From here, you’ll have panoramic views of the entire city, the vibrant Old Town, and the sprawling coastline. The lookout offers incredible views of the turquoise waters and the city below, perfect for wide-angle shots.
