A local’s tip

If you’re around Nice in late spring, head up to the Colline du Château hill just before sunset. Most visitors go early in the day, but locals know the light is magical fading into evening. Bring a snack and find a quiet spot away from the main viewpoint – there’s plenty of smaller benches shaded by cypress trees. From here, you’ll see the old town’s terracotta roofs turn warm gold and the Mediterranean calm down before night. It’s a simple moment, but it’s one that really captures Nice through local eyes.
