Stroll along the Promenade des Anglais

When visiting Nice; a must-see is the Promenade des Anglais (walkway of the English). Remember to bring your most comfortable walking shoes, as the seven-kilometre promenade is the perfect place for a nice long walk. Its name dates back to the 18th century when English royalty settled there to enjoy the health benefits of the climate.

As the coastline was not easily walkable, a lord insisted on building an accessible promenade over which he, his wife and his friends could stroll. Today, some hotels still bear English names. The Promenade des Anglais is one of Nice's most popular attractions. The avenue is a popular spot for many activities, such as cycling, rollerblading, running and other sports. Not to mention the many events organised there and the hotels, shops and casinos located along the avenue.
