📖

Full description

Tour Saint-François is a modest heritage tower in the old town that gives a panoramic view over Nice and its rooftops. Tickets are sold at the office just beneath it, and visitors are accompanied by a staff member who gives a brief history of how the city developed and points out landmarks.

Reviewers mention a climb of 261 steps and a small entry contribution that goes towards conserving the site; entry is reportedly free with the French Riviera Pass. It makes a quick, rewarding stop for those who like a viewpoint with context.

A hidden gem in Nice! 360 view with a history lesson all in one! Patrice was an amazing guide. He told us how Nice came to be from the beginning until today. It’s free if you have the French Riviera Pass. No waits and well worth the stair’s.
