Favorite Walking Tours in Nice, Episode 384

<p>In this episode of the podcast, my guest Jeanne Oliver shares her favorite walking tours in Nice. Jeanne is not from Nice originally, she's been living there for a long time, she has written a book about Nice (<a href="https://amzn.to/37uCjMI">Nice Uncovered: Walks Through the Secret Heart of a Historic City</a>), a VoiceMap tour (you know how I love VoiceMap tours!): <a href= "https://voicemap.me/tour/nice/the-best-of-nice-s-old-town-highlights-legends-and-secret-spots"> The Best of Nice's Old Town</a>. She also has a website about Nice: <a href="https://www.frenchrivieratraveller.com/">French Riviera Traveler</a>. Plus, as a keen historian she puts Nice on the map for us and you'll love her restaurants recommendations! This one is a must-listen!</p> <p><a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/episode/favorite-walking-tours-in-nice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Episode Page</a> | <a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/guest-notes/384/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Guest Notes</a> | <a href= "https://joinusinfrance.com/transcript/384/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Transcript</a></p> <h2>Table of Contents for this Episode</h2> <p>[00:00:37] Introducing Jeanne Oliver<br /> [00:01:29] May 1st and other travel tips after the interview<br /> [00:02:00] Support this podcast by making purchases on Annie’s Boutique<br /> [00:02:19] Feedback about the itinerary planning service<br /> [00:03:57] Jeanne’s VoiceMap tour of Nice<br /> [00:05:43] Seven walking tours in Nice<br /> [00:07:21] Nice started attracting visitors in the late 1700s<br /> [00:08:16] Nice offers a wonderful lifestyle<br /> [00:09:40] Nice as a city of Art and Architecture<br /> [00:11:06] Nice has a rocky beach and that’s good and bad<br /> [00:11:46] A brief history of Nice<br /> [00:12:43] Roman site at Cimiez<br /> [00:14:30] Nice as part of the House of Savoy<br /> [00:15:21] Nice is very close to the Italian border and a major seaport<br /> [00:17:34] The Siege of Nice and Catherine of Ségurane<br /> [00:19:27] Favorite churches in Nice<br />
