The sea says hello first — a bright, briny whisper along the Promenade des Anglais as you tap the link and press play. Streets open up in cinematic slices: pastel façades of Vieux-Nice, the tiled geometry of Place Masséna, and the market shout of cours Saleya. The audio guide places you at the curb, hears the sea with you, and hands you stories one after another.

History
Nice was founded as the Greek colony of Nikaia and later absorbed Roman, Italianate and French influences; its Belle Époque period shaped the seafront hotels and promenades.
Conservation
Respect local markets and protected gardens by taking litter with you; the city's coastal ecology is sensitive to plastic and overcrowding, so use refillable bottles and stick to marked paths.
