Nice's historic harbour was established in the mid-18th century at the foot of Castle Hill. Its quays are framed by handsome pastel neoclassical buildings in the Genoese style, radiating Mediterranean charm. Traditional pointed wooden fishing boats, known locally as pointus, bob alongside modern luxury yachts and welcoming seafood bistros.
