Overview

At Specimina Academica Nicea, we put curiosity at the heart of our lives. So we'd like to put it at the heart of yours.

We invite you to join us on a mysterious and unparalleled adventure: the discovery of the eight-century-long history of Vila Vielha.

Get ready to meet hunter-gatherers, Greek sailors, and the Dukes of Savoy. Watch your feet! The Mediterranean Sea once submerged this same area. Let's rejoice in the fact that, unlike the Jewish community in the Middle Ages, we can move freely through these streets.

Are you a child? That's great. Come and relive with us the heroic moments of our Niçarde chief, Catherine Ségurane. Find out what the people of Niçois ate 400,000 years ago, or where girls and boys like you and us once played.

Are you a parent? Not bad yourself. Let us introduce you to a multi-millennial heritage, caressed by the Edenic Mediterranean Sea and lovingly protected by the western Alps.

Listening to stories is a gift. Come and share it with us.

Nissardly yours,
Specimina Nicea
