nissart
Nice’s long, tumultuous history has wildly influenced the current unique language of Nice, “Le Nissart,” incorporating Roman, Provençal and French vocabulary, yet it still somehow manages to retain its Nice specificity.

While meandering the winding narrow webbed alleys of Old Town Nice, open up your senses to the quirky sound of the Nice dialect, and notice the street signs written in French as well as in Nissart.
