Private Historical Walk to the Treasures of the Belle Époque in Nice

A historian by training, I invite you to explore the most beautiful streets of Nice. Let’s start with Boulevard Victor Hugo, drawn in 1832 by the city’s Beautification Council. We will discover the emblematic remains of the Belle Époque, a period which saw the erection of numerous buildings in Nice, often called “palaces”. The Musicians’ Quarter is a striking example. It illustrates the grandeur of this era, marked by the presence of European and Russian nobility. I offer you exclusive tours of the Russian church which is the first built in France and the one which is the last built during the time of the tsars. These buildings contain treasures from this period. Between visits, we will explore some architectural gems of the Belle Époque and taste local products. If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, this walk is for you.

The first Russian church built in Nice in 1859, on the initiative of the Empress of Russia Alexandra Feodorovna, in order to provide a place of worship for the Russian aristocracy staying in the region. Magnificent wooden iconostasis, gift from the Empress, icons which bear witness to the Russian presence for a century and a half.

The largest Russian Orthodox church in Western Europe, the cathedral has a collection of icons and the Russian Emigration Museum.
