Guided tours of Nice for children, adults and all curious people (or not so curious).
SPECIMINA NICEA offers guided tours for children, adults, and all those curious (or not so curious) in the oldest parts of Nice, such as Old Nice, Castle Hill, and Place Garibaldi, accompanied by a trilingual guide (French, English, Russian). We invite you to join a multi-millennial, mysterious, and unparalleled adventure: the discovery of Nice, the capital of the French Riviera.
ALEKSANDRA SAVIGNY is a multidisciplinary researcher dedicated to European written heritage (Renaissance scientific books, the history of medicine, Napoleonic Paris). Driven by a conviction as unfounded as it is entirely plausible—namely, that God created Nice… last, after bringing forth divine wonders but remaining divinely unsatisfied—she founded Specimina Nicea.
These days, seeing Nice and the French Riviera as more than just a postcard image—idyllic and dreamt of by the whole world—is no easy feat. For the city of Nice—as much Alpine as it is maritime—is by no means limited to the yellow of the caressing sun, nor to the azure blue of the murmuring sea, like the proverbial "clothes don't make the man." Such an approach calls for a sensitive and receptive curiosity.
It's well worth the effort. Because, remember, God created Nice last for a good reason. Let's discover it together.
Everyone is welcome to this divine, shared Niçoise adventure. Curiositas vita est.
Yours in Niçoise,
SPECIMINA NICEA
