Around Place Godeau

At the end of rue St-Lambert, turn left into place Godeau 6 [map], the pleasant tree-lined square behind the cathedral, named after 17th-century poet bishop Antoine Godeau, who was a founder member of the Académie Française. In the centre is a granite Roman column.

To the right of the narrow Gothic doorway at no. 5, take rue des Portiques, which overlies part of the Roman road between Cimiez and Castellane, and turn left at the end into rue St-Véran, one of the main thoroughfares through the town. Explore the series of narrow, stepped streets such as impasse du Cimetière Vieux, rue Ste-Élisabeth, rue Pisani and rue Ste-Luce, which lead off it to boulevard Paul André 7 [map], where the once imposing ramparts have been cut down to provide beautiful views of Les Baous mountains.
