Wheelchair Accessibility of Old Town in Nice
This analysis of the wheelchair accessibility of Old Town in Nice, France was performed in Summer 2022.
Old Town is exactly as it sounds–a few pedestrian-only blocks of historic tenement houses and churches, and even a large farmers market. Old Town is just south of Castle Hill, and can be accessed from the Promenade. The streets are level and pretty smooth. There is a small curb between the sidewalks and the pedestrian-only road, but there are frequent and smooth curb cuts.
Wheelchair accessibility was not an issue, and we enjoyed Old Town…especially the freshly pressed juice on a scorching day.
We also explored some of the churches in Old Town. They had wheelchair accessible entrances, albeit a little tight at times.
