Cimiez

Take a bus or taxi, and reach uphill to the Roman bath ruins in Cimiez. Let your imagination re-construct brick by brick, for what would have been a social hub during the reign of the Romans. Constructed meticulously by man, dilapidated mercilessly by time! By all means, you won’t miss Le Jardin des Arènes de Cimiez, beautiful Italian-style gardens with olive trees. I urge you to pack up lunch and enjoy it with spectacular views of Nice! Also, you won’t falter in noticing old men playing with metal balls called Pétanque. Jovial old retired men, with a bottle of beer in hand, bantering with their buddies, and I know where I will be when old! Other notable attractions include Musée Matisse, which you may visit based on your interest, but even if you don’t, do stop by for a view of the interesting reddish-orange building which houses it.
