The picturesque Old Town, or 'Vieux Nice', is nestled under the Castel Hill and is just a few minute's walk from the apartment. The Old Town is the most traditional part of the city and is filled with the sights and smells of Provence as well as great bars, shops and restaurants and a fantastic daily open-air market on the Cours Saleya market strip.
