arrivals in Nice

Dear all
last night we were flying into Nice, at one point we were cleared for the kerit arrival, we were at 25000ft and the first waypoint, kerit, had an altitude restriction of at or below 17000. Am i expected to comply with the restriction if no other mention is made such as "descend according to the procedure"? also take into consideration that at one point i asked for lower and i was given FL150, although in order to comply with the altitude restriction we would have to descend at 4000fmp?
or when the atc does nt mention to cross a waypoint at a given altitude such as omako in paris for instance, the altitude restrictions can be neglected? or was it a mistake of the controller?
tks
