Promenade Des Anglais Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The English Promenade was built by the British colonists of Nice in 1822. The whole site is 5 kilometers away, next to the Bay of Angels, connecting Nice Airport and the Castle Hill. The avenue is adorned with palm trees all year round, and is lined with boutiques and luxury hotels on both sides. In the 19th century, a large number of Britons chose Nice's Bay of Angels as their holiday destination to escape the harsh winter. In 1820, Lewis Wei, an Englishman, initiated social fundraising and built the pedestrian street, which was only 2 meters wide at the time, into the current-scale avenue, and named "Anglais, the British" as the name of the avenue.

Also along the way is a succession of works of art, pergolas and blue chairs, which have become a real symbol of the city of Nice.
