Guided tours of Nice Côte d'Azur for children, adults and all the curious (or not so curious).
Specimina Academica offers guided tours for children, adults, and anyone curious (or not so curious) in the oldest parts of the city of Nice, such as Vieux-Nice, Castle Hill, and Place Garibaldi, accompanied by a trilingual tour guide (French, English, Russian). We invite you to join a centuries-old, mysterious, and unparalleled adventure: the discovery of the city of Nice, capital of the French Riviera.
Aleksandra Savigny is a multidisciplinary researcher dedicated to European written heritage (Renaissance scientific books, the history of medicine, Napoleon's Paris). Driven by a conviction that is as unfounded as it is entirely plausible—namely, that God created Nice... last, after having brought divine wonders into the world but having nonetheless remained divinely Dissatisfied—she founded Specimina Academica.
These days, seeing Nice and the Côte d'Azur as more than just a postcard image—idyllic and dreamed of by the whole world—is no easy feat. For the city of Nice—as Alpine as it is maritime—is in no way limited to the yellow of the caressing sun, nor the azure blue of the murmuring sea, like the famous habit that doesn't make the man. Such an approach calls for a sensitive and receptive curiosity.
It's well worth it. Because remember, God created Nice last for a good reason. Let's discover it together.
Everyone is welcome to join this divine Nice co-adventure. Curiositas vita est.
Yours sincerely, ,
