Aleksandra Savigny, a trilingual licensed tourist guide (Français, English, Русский), offers guided tours in Nice for children, adults and all curious (or not-so-curious) minds. Aleksandra invites you to join for a multimillennial, mysterious and unparalleled adventure : discovering the city of Nice, the capital of the French Riviera.
Aleksandra is a multidisciplinary researcher at the service of Europe's written heritage — specializing in scientific books of the Renaissance period, the history of medicine, and Napoleonic Paris. Driven by a conviction as unfounded as it is entirely plausible — namely, that God created Nice... last, after shaping the world’s wonders and still remaining divinely Unsatisfied — she founded Specimina Academica Nicea.
Nowadays, it's no mean feat to see Nice and the French Riviera as anything other than a postcard image - idyllic and dreamt of by the whole world. But just as a suit doesn't make the man, the city of Nice — both alpine and maritime — is not limited to the yellow of the caressing sun nor the azure blue of the murmuring sea. Such an approach calls us for a sensitive and receptive curiosity.
It's well worth the effort. Remember, God created Nice last for a reason. Let's find it out together.
Everyone is warmly welcome to join in this divine Nice's co-adventure. Curiositas vita est.
Nissardly yours 🦅,
Specimina Nicea
