A wonderful promenade along the sea, a mixture of everyday Nice life, and those of the privileged, with also memories of the atmosphere from Agatha Christie crime stories, just excellent More

The Promenade stretches along the sea front and has the sea on one side and a variety of restaurants, cafe's , bars and gardens on the other. Its great to stroll along it at your leisure, and just take in the brilliant blue sea, and sky's. Also from the promenade you can catch a tourist "train" that takes you on... More

Just sit and watch the world go by or wander along. Look out for the elevated viewing area, the park and gardens at the eastern end. More

Just like you see in the postcard pics - beautiful water and INSANE crowds in the summer. We took a Segway tour that was worth every penny - largely because we discovered new parts of the city we would have never seen. More
