| Strolling in Vieux Nice. |
One of the most charming parts of Nice is the historical center, known as
Vieux Nice, an area of the city that has scarcely changed since the 1700s. Its tiny lanes are crowded with delis, food shops, boutiques and bars.

Though I walked through this area several times a day, I didn't do much shopping there. But I enjoyed seeing the variety of shops and cafes vying for attention.

Vieux Nice has become a trendy area, with an abundance of color and panache: its a veritable feast for the eye.

| Luscious pastries! |
And of course, lots of tempting food is available!

Since we were there in October, the tourist traffic was lighter than usual, and the shops started closing after 7 or 8 pm, leaving many streets with an eerie, empty feeling.

| By 8 pm, some streets of Vieux Nice were empty. |
Overall, our stay in Nice was a unique adventure, but much too short to take advantage of all that the area has to offer. There's so much to do and see! I hope to return in the future for a longer stay.
