Promenade des Anglais, the symbol of Nice in the world, a lively place, ideal for inline skaters and cyclists

The Promenade des Anglais is THE symbol of Nice in the world. It stretches along 7 km of waterfront, following the perfect curve of the Baie des Anges.

As early as the 19th century, the English made the Nice coastline their winter resort, giving their name to the promenade on the initiative of Reverend Lewis Way and giving Nice its cosmopolitan and aesthetic identity between sea and palm trees. In the early 20th century, the original seaside villas were demolished and replaced by the majestic buildings that can still be admired today, such as the Negresco and the Palais de la Méditerranée. The Casino Jetée, which gave a special aura to the Promenade, did not meet the same fate: stripped by the Germans for its copper and iron during the Second World War, it was dynamited on May 26, 1944.

Over the decades, the Promenade des Anglais has become a favorite destination for sun-seeking tourists and strolling locals alike, hosting numerous events (carnival, marathon, etc.) and attracting millions of visitors every year. Bereft by the terrible attack on July 14, 2016, it was redeveloped to offer more space for greenery. Today, more lively and animated than ever, it's a meeting place for rollerbladers, runners, cyclists and walkers. Its "blue chairs" and seaward-facing pergolas are just as conducive to idleness and contemplation as ever. A truly mythical place.

C'est un lieu mythique de la côte d'Azur! La longue promenade part de l'entrée de Nice et va presque jusqu'au port tout en longeant les plages de galets.
Des bancs sont installés, certains sous des arches.
Vous pouvez venir vous y ballader avec l poussette, y faire votre footing, ou profiter de la piste cyclable.
Vous y verrez des hôtels mythiques (Le Negresco notamment, le palais de la Méditerranée...

Cette promenade très connue sur le front de mer de Nice offre un très beau paysage sur la baie des anges pendant plusieurs kilomètres. Vous pourrez y faire du vélo ou vous y promener tout simplement.

le site de la promenade est agréable, propre, et reste ouvert à toute une diversité de personnes.
beaucoup d'espace permet un itinéraire réalisable à pieds, à rollers, à vélo.
des artistes ou animations improvisées donnent de la vie à cet endroit incontournable, tourné vers la mer, et tourné vers la ville.
