Exploring the Enchanting Côte d'Azur
✨ Wandering through the sun-kissed Côte d'Azur, the iconic 'Promenade des Anglais' is an absolute must-see! It's quite amusing to think that despite the historical rivalry between England and France, the French have embraced this 'British Avenue' with open arms 😂. The story goes back to 1820 when a generous Brit, Lewis Way, funded this stunning seaside road to cater to the influx of British aristocrats seeking a winter escape. Talk about a win-win situation—he got the naming rights, and the French got a fabulous promenade! 🌊 🧩 Insider Tips: ● Staying in Nice's old town? You're in luck! Most of the city's main attractions are just a stroll away. If you're near the airport, hop on tram line 2 for a direct ride to the heart of the old town. ● For breathtaking views of the Bay of Angels, head to Castle Hill Park. It's the ultimate spot for those Instagram-worthy shots, complete with an elevator if you want to skip the 15-minute hike. Don't miss the 'I love Nice' wall nearby for a perfect photo op! ● Fancy a dip or some sunbathing? The beaches along the Côte d'Azur are all about those unique artificial stones—no sand here! Feel free to swim or lounge anywhere you like. ● Art lovers, rejoice! Nice's old town is brimming with charming art boutiques. Check out 'le galet bleu' and 'Galerie Artnice' for some blue chair-themed treasures. While they might be a bit pricey, a small stone-shaped blue chair souvenir is a delightful keepsake. #SouthFranceNice #TravelGoals #StunningViews #MustVisit
