Cimiez sits on a hill a couple of km from the centre of town. The Hill of Cimiez is now the chic and residential part of Nice and its popularity was further enhanced when Queen Victoria chose it as her favoured residence – her statue and palace still are major landmarks in the heart of the district. It's just a short drive to this well-to-do area above the hustle and bustle of the city. There are ancient Roman ruins here as well as beautifully preserved thermal baths and every July, Cimiez is the site of the Nice Jazz Festival where thousands of international guests listen to top acts from amid the olive groves and the Roman Amphitheater. You will find here a great many elegant apartment blocks and Belle Epoque houses with prices to reflect the popularity of this fashionable area. |
