Côte d'Azur: Nice, Promenade des Anglais

Promenade des Anglais was constructed by rich English man.

Before construction, the coast at Nice was just deserted band of beach.
One day, Englishmen proposed to make this coast useful, 
for example, for enjoying the panorama along the coast.  


In the weekend, there are a lot of bicyclists, baby-strollers and so on in the promenade des Anglais.
And some people practice or enjoy the skate boards and in-line skates.

Côte d'Azur: Nice, Place Masséna

The place Masséna is the main square of Nice.
The location of this square is between the modern town and the old town.
So we can access any sightseeing spots easily.
(e.g. promenade des Anglais, old town and so on)

From Nice station, the tramway is laid to here.
You should start a sightseeing in Nice from here 
because it's easy to understand any locations if you recognize here as a landmark. 

The photo of place Masséna.
You can see it's a beautiful place.
Water is filled on the surface, so it's like a mirror.
