Promenade des Anglais
The so-called Walk of the English is a celebrated promenade along the Mediterranean Sea. Before Nice was urbanized, the coast was bordered by a deserted strip of beach. The first houses were located on higher ground, away from the sea. Since the 18th Century, the English have taken to spending their winters here, enjoying the panoramic view along the coastline. Some of them proposed the construction of a walkway by the sea to avert the cold. The Promenade was first called the Camin dei Anglès (the English Way) by the Niçois in their native dialect, Nissart. It soon became a favourite place for tourists and locals alike, ideal for walking, cycling and skateboarding. Many interesting events take place on the Promenade, such as the annual Carnival or the Battle of Flowers. It’s also famous for its blue chairs, perfect for spending some lazy time contemplating of the crystal-blue waters of the Bay of Angels (la Baie des Anges). Place Massena
