An oasis of calm amidst the traffic |
Rue Masséna Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6000 France |
Always a great favorite in large cities, pedestrian precincts are places where human hustle and bustle takes over from the noise of the wheeled traffic. In Nice, the Masséna Zone is the perfect place for a coffee break, trying one of the many fine restaurants or going on a shopping spree. There are clothing options for everyone, for all tastes and budgets. Street artists can often be seen performing here--jugglers, musicians, mime artists--and the warm atmosphere extends throughout the day and into the evening, when everyone takes advantage of the summer months to dine al fresco.

Nice's much-loved promenade |
Promenades des Anglais Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 6000 France |
A big favorite with locals and visitors alike, attracting roller-bladers, cyclists and dog owners, this much-loved promenade hugs the seashore for several kilometers. The promenade's characteristic blue chairs, scattered along the way, provide the perfect vantage point from which to take in the expanse of azure blue stretching as far as the eye can see. It took its current form in 1822, when Lewis Way, an Englishman who lived in Nice during the winter months, financed the two-meter wide path. It is free of charge to stroll, bask in the sun, and enjoy the pleasures of Nice's beaches. Review © 2007, Wcities |
