Around Town in Nice
Nice, like many towns in the South of France, has an
old-town section, known as Vieille Ville.
Here, the streets are old-time narrow, allowing only enough room for the
passage of pedestrians and carts. The labyrinthine
walkways, with buildings so close together you can spit across to your
neighbor, lie mostly in the shadows, with the sun blocked out by the tight-packed
nature of the old structures. However, every so many streets, you come to a
large open square, resplendent in sunshine once again, and showcasing grand old
buildings, impressive architecture, the goods and wares of numerous
artisans, and the occasional street performer.
