The Parc du Chateau overlooking the city of Nice on the Cote d'Azur in Provence, France is a lovely, peaceful place to visit. There are a few ways to reach the top - the easiest - take the elevator, but for the hardier souls there are steps from the Quai des Etats Unis, 213 of them to the Naval Museum's observation tower and even more to get to the top of the Parc du Chateau.
To view the rooftops and the Cathedrale Sainte Reparate in the Old Town of Nice, the Rue Rossetti leads up to the Parc du Chateau. The beautiful ceramic tile dome of the Cathedrale glistens in the sunlight and the elegant entrance, ornate columns and statues pay homage to the young Palestinian martyr after whom the Cathedrale Sainte Reparate was named. The bell tower, built in the 18th century and the red-tiled roofs of the Old Town of Nice, Provence completes the delightful view from the Parc du Chateau.
