The Promenade des Anglais (Walk of the English) stretches along the seafront between the beach and the road. It is constantly busy with promenaders, dog-walkers, joggers, cyclists, skaters and sight-seers sitting on the iconic blue chairs to enjoy the deep azure of the sea in the Baie des Anges.
In the late 18th century, the English adopted Nice, then a sleepy town, as a place to escape the harsh English winter. One particularly nasty winter, many beggars from northern France drifted south to Nice so the wealthy English put them to work building a beachfront walkway. The City of Nice stepped in to increase the scale of the project. These days the locals just call it The Promenade.

Doing what: Ferrari Sports Car Experience from Nice
If this could be given 10 stars, I would give it 10. Expensive, but well worth it. Amazing. Thrilling. Unforgettable. Philippe made the whole experience even better. What a fine man he is. I gave this to my friend as a 70th birthday gift. It's a gift he will NEVER forget. Wow!! Thank you, Philippe, for making the experience extra special. We both wish you well.
Getting There
