These days provide an opportunity to visit sites that are usually closed to the public. Thus, Christian Estrosi, Deputy, Mayor of Nice, President of the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, will open the doors of his office to the public on Saturday, September 15, 2012, at 9 a.m.
Additionally, the City Hall will host fourteen conferences in the Municipal Council Room on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other classic tours proposed by the City of Nice include those of Fort Mont-Alban, the Château of Valrose, and the Diascomie.
