[Nice - London - Paris] Part 2: Nice, her old town and narrow street

Colorful old town and narrow street, typical scene in European movies, are what I am looking for.

Birdview of a narrow street from Colline du Chateau, which extends to Place Massena:

Rue Pairolière and Rue St-françois

The two famous old streets are located in Le Vieux-Nice. A very special entrance:

Late in the afternoon, the street was kinda empty and quiet:

Our group members were looking for the restaurant. It was around seven, however, the restaurants were almost closed. Later, we learned that local dinner time is eightish.

A patisserie was open, which made me feel more hungry ;-P

We eventually got an open restaurant -- an Afghanistan restaurant:

The decoration is very fancy:

Marché aux Fleurs

Marché aux Fleurs is quite close to Place Massena. It is a flower market, and also for arts, patisserie, snacks...etc. Very lovely street.

Pain au chocolat with icing sugar:

A very mouth-watering almond cake, covered with shinny sugar:

Extreamly incredible parking skill with tiny distance:

Save the best for last: traditional shopping basket with fresh vegetables and fruits. In the morning, people go to the patisserie for fresh baguette as their breakfast. What a life!
