Our adventure begins at a landmark that perfectly captures the essence of Nice – the "Chaise Bleue" (Blue Chair) monument.
This bright blue beauty isn't just any chair; it's an iconic symbol of the city. Standing proudly along the famous Promenade des Anglais, it's the perfect spot to kick off our exploration. As you admire the stunning views of the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels), the Blue Chair will serve as a reminder of the city's relaxed charm and rich history.
Next stop on our Nice adventure: the vibrant Place Masséna (Massena Square)! This central hub is much more than just a square; it's the beating heart of the city.
Get ready to be dazzled by:
Architectural Grandeur: The square's design reflects Nice's rich history, with a blend of Italian-inspired arches and red ochre facades. It's a feast for the eyes!
Modern Art Marvels: Jaume Plensa's thought-provoking sculptures add a contemporary touch to the square. Look for them changing colors at night – a truly magical sight!
Fountain Fun: The centerpiece of the square is the impressive Fontaine du Soleil (Sun Fountain). Take a moment to admire its intricate design and the playful sculptures symbolizing planets.
