The Promenade des Anglais in Nice did not always have the kind how it can be seen right now while visiting the resort or using one of Nice’s webcams in real time. About a hundred years ago, practically along the entire length of the quay, there were luxurious private villas and mansions with palm gardens, owned by wealthy Englishmen, who chose this city in France for living in the winter season, when the UK had raw and cold weather that promoted the development of tuberculosis. By the way, the name of the embankment was just for the reason that it was the British who repeatedly allocated considerable money for the reconstruction of beaches and the construction of the very embankment, which became the best place for an evening promenade on the French Riviera.

Nowadays, instead of most of the mansions and villas on the first line from the sea, multi-storey houses with luxury apartments and expensive hotels are built, where not only wealthy tourists stop, but also numerous stars of show business, cinema and sports. However, the historic buildings on the Promenade des Anglais have also been preserved. For example, the luxurious Hotel Negresco, which was built in 1912, whose classical architecture still produces a strong impression (you can see photos of the hotel and its price by reference). The main attraction of this place – Le Palais de la Mediterranee (Mediterranean Palace) – is an obligatory sightseeing site on the Nice Promenade des Anglais.
