Palais Lascaris

Address 15 Rue Droite, Nice

The baroque Palais Lascaris in the heart of the old town is intimately linked to the Lascaris-Vintimille family, whose recorded history predates 1261. Built in the 17th century, it contains elaborately detailed ornaments and a circa-1738 pharmacy complete with original Delftware accessories. The most elaborate floor is the etage noble, retaining many of its 18th-century panels and plaster embellishments. Every Wednesday between 2 and 4pm, craftspeople give live demonstrations of their art forms. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to noon and 2 to 6pm.
