 | Nice Promenade des Anglais Reviews | 1 - 10 of 56 |  |
The Promenade des Anglais - so called because it was built in the 1820's by the English community in Victorian times - runs along the Baie des Anges from the Coline du Chateau up to the airport some six kilometres away, alongside the six lane highway lined with palms.
You can walk all the way and back in around three hours. If your feet can take it, your heart will thank you for it. On the way admire the belle epoche hotels and apartments, or just drink in the azure blue sea and sky.
It was outside the Negresco in 1927 that Isadora Duncan met her untimely end courtesy of the wheels of her Bugatti. The three white Pergolas opposite date from the 1930's. The famous blue chairs appeared in the late forties, only to disappear last year and make a comeback, welded together
At weekends in high season crowds throng in their thousands to the Prom. Street entertainers to divert you momentarily from one of the finest people watching opportunities in Nice. Glamorous Italian couples, haughty Parisians, eccentric retired Nicios dressed forty years too young, rollerbladers, joggers, bikers, families, everyone just taking a stroll down the Prom.

There was nothing more beautiful then taking in the sites while walking along the Promenade des Anglais. The promenade runs the length of the bay and is used by walkers, runners, bicyclists and roller bladers. On one side you have the bay, with glistening blue water lapping at the shoreline, and beaches with people enjoying the sunshine. On the other side, there are hotels, restaurants, shops, parks and roads leading throughout Nice.
There are many places to sit and relax and just watch the world go by. Pictures really don't do it justice, it really is one of those places that you have to see with your own eyes. Directions: All along the Bay of Angels from the port to the airport.

The Promenade des Anglais, Nice's famous seafront esplanade, is a fantastic place to take a stroll any time of day or night. It is nearly three miles long and if you feel so inclined, you can hire a bicycle or rollerblade up and down it. Chairs line the promenade overlooking the ocean. It's a great spot for a romantic stroll. On the other side you can find caf?s, restaurants and shops along with hotels like the famous Negresco Hotel.
Perfect for peoplewatching, this is the place to be and be seen. Sit down on one of the many benches and watch people hanging from parachutes among various other sports, picnicking or generally posing and jsut watch the world go by.... You can walk all the way round to the harbour and the Quai Rauba Capeu is a great place to watch the sun go down.
An early evening stroll or sunset is our favourite time for the promenade, but there is alot going on whatever time of day or night. Leave a Comment Directions: Seafront, Nice.

Occupying a prime position on the front of the Promenade des Anglais, with its huge art deco facade, Le Palais de la Mediterranee, opened its doors in 1929. Designed by the Nice architect Charles Dalmas, whose other commissions included the luxurious Hotel Carlton in Cannes , the sumptuous decor of its lounges and Casino attracted a clientele of rich men and elegant women. A rival to the much photographed belle epoche Negresco built in 1912.
The Palais closed in 1978, and after some years of dereliction, it has been completely restored to its former glory and reopened in January 2004. The facade holds within a luxury hotel and residences. Its imposing presence puts to shame the ugly fifties and sixties apartment blocks around it.
Always worth an evening stroll to see any status-symbol luxury cars parked on the forecourt, signalling that someone famous is dining or gambling or just stopping overnight.
Star the other evening was a black Hummer, with British number plates and a lot of nose-prints on the front windscreen. Leave a Comment Address: 13-15 Promenade des Anglais

Few spots epitomize Nice -- or, in fact, the joie de vivre of the French Riviera in general -- than the inviting Promenade des Anglais. It is always bustling with humanity.There are tourists relaxing in the royal blue chairs lining the shore. There are locals roller blading, biking or jogging along it. Vendors sell crepes and drinks on it. Best of all, there are delightful (if over-priced) seaside restaurants. Splurge on a chaise lounge, and let waiters bring you cocktails and appetizers. Of course we just walked through looking for a simple asian restaurant which we finally found!

Buying and selling property is one of the main heavy industries of the Cote d'Azur. Browsing real-estate agents windows is an absolutely must-do activity in Nice .Everybody is at it.What's on offer? What does it cost? That's outrageous! Hey we could afford that...
Since Nice is one of the most beautiful cities you will find, why not see what the price of admission is? This four bed apartment "close to the Negresco" is only three quarters of a million euro, but a studio in a good central neighbourhood 80-90,000 euro.
Apartments are the main form of residence, Oh, but add 100,000 euros to the price of anything with a sea view. Leave a Comment

This is one of the main things and best things to do in Nice, take a stroll along along the Promenade des Anglais. It runs along the sea front from the Colline du Chateau all the way to the airport. It's always busy with people walking, jogging, rollerblading, cycling etc. Or if that's too energetic sit in one of the chairs provided along the Promenade and just gaze out to over the beautiful blue sea!

Start promenade walkings from the Old Town side. The view would be more exotic - Old Town rather than hotels on Promenade des Anglais.
A very pleasant people watching activity. You'll roller skaters almost dancing along your steps.
In 2002, the promenade was decorated with modern art sculptures by famous Nice artist - Niki de St. Phalle.
As you approach the new part of Nice, look for Opera House. Couple of minutes later, the famous Negresco Hotel. Leave a Comment

The Promenade is such a lively place.Spend atleast half a day here to see and meet locals as well as tourists.Street performers, skaters , cyclists and joggers make this the place to be in , while in Nice.The beach is not sandy but is nevetheless beautiful.Beautiful people make it a point to be seen here. The cool blue of the Mediterranean Sea is soothing to the eyes.
