The Promenade des Anglais is a celebrated seaside boulevard in the French city of Nice, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Spanning approximately 7 kilometers along the Mediterranean coast of the Baie des Anges, it is one of the most iconic avenues in France, famed for its palm trees, blue chairs, and unique pebble beaches. Opened in the 1820s and gradually extended, the promenade became a favorite walkway among European nobility, particularly the English, hence its name which translates to 'Walkway of the English'. The avenue's wide walkways are perfect for strolling, cycling, and rollerblading, offering spectacular views of the azure sea. Alongside the beachfront path, visitors can find luxury hotels, such as the renowned Hotel Negresco, as well as restaurants, cafes, and shops. The Promenade des Anglais is also a hub for cultural events, including the annual Nice Carnival. This charming boulevard embodies the elegance and joie de vivre of the French Riviera, drawing both tourists and locals with its beauty and vitality.
