Promenade des Anglais

A big favourite with locals and visitors alike, including rollerbladers, cyclists and dog owners, this much-loved promenade hugs the seashore for several kilometres. 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-metre wide path. It is free of charge to stroll.
