Nice has an abundance of great museums, and even better, they’re almost all free! The big exception is the Chagall Museum, which at 7.50€ a pop is a major hold-out. This gets remedied on the first Sunday of each month, however, when even the Musee Chagall is free, so if you haven’t been in a while, now’s the time. The Chagall Museum is a little gem: intimate, inspirational, and the only art museum in Nice with audio guides. Even better: if you have an iPhone you can download the Audio Guide App (in English) for free!
While you’re up on Cimiez, why not make it a double header and check out the nearby Matisse Museum or tour the impressive Roman ruins at the Archeology Museum, built on the site of the Roman baths? Other options include a picnic in the ancient olive grove, and a stroll through the Italian gardens of the Franciscan Monastery.

Merci mille fois! As some know, the Chagall museum is Coco’s favorite. The Matisse museum? Meh. Not so much.
Time to take a Sunday pilgrimage to see “The Biblical Message” once again.
A tout’,
