Description
Get ready to experience a historical tour like no other in the alleys of Old Nice. Your guide: Joseph-François Desmorest, the city's official executioner in 1804. Between juicy stories, black humour and little frights, he tells you about the justice of yesteryear, the city's gossip and the daily life of a time when Nice was not yet French. Dressed in his period costume, this colourful character takes you on an immersive, funny and sometimes biting walk to discover the hidden secrets of the city's most emblematic neighbourhood. A perfect outing for history enthusiasts, local legend seekers or simply lovers of quirky days out.
