The walk up to the top of the Colline du Chateau never disappoints. The view over Nice and the Mediterranean is quite simply breathtaking. Unfortunately, the disappointment is therefore all the greater when you need a refreshing drink or snack. The only place where it is possible is run by an unusually unpleasant, unfriendly and obnoxious person who scolds his customers and insists that everyone must stand in line at the till, buy something, and then thereafter be allowed to use the toilets . It is now the second time in a few months that I have had the same experience. last time was with my son, and at the time I thought the owner was probably just having a bad day. today it was with my wife and the experience was exactly the same. while I was standing in line waiting to be served, he startes shouting very rudely at my wife that she should wait in line with me and would only be allowed to use the toilets after we had bought something. This of course developed into a discussion between my wife and the owner as she obviously needed to use the toilet in the situation and not to stand in line any longer.

Of course, those people went there and it got even more crowded for the customers. After the customers left, while still raining, the server came, took all tables and closed all the umbrellas. As if the umbrellas would cost him anything to protect some people from the rain. Try to have some snacks when visiting the castle and avoid this place...
Read moreSuch a beautiful spot to see in Nice!! My friend and I noticed the waterfall from the town and knew we had to check it out. There is an elevator that can take you up/down or you can walk up the stairs. I believe the elevator stops running around 7:45pm but it may be seasonal! We walked down the stairs back to the town (which I recommend if it’s possible for you) and it allowed us to see a few more view points that were stunning! There are two little snack spots and benches/tables to sit at up by the view points. It was such a great way to see Nice from above. I 10/10 recommend going here if...
