Every day at exactly noon, Nice explodes. A single, echoing boom rolls down from Castle Hill , across the old town of Nice , and out to sea. Visitors jump; locals don’t even flinch. It’s as much a part of daily life as morning coffee or evening rosé.

From ancient ruins to pastel façades and Belle Époque palaces, the architecture of Nice reflects centuries of change, culture, and color. Walk through the streets and you’ll see how Italian charm, French style, and Mediterranean light have shaped one of the Riviera’s most beautiful cities.
