This wide promenade runs along the beach and is one of the most famous parts of Nice. It was built in 1844 after the Reverend Lewis Way noticed that many English men and women loved to stroll up and down the area to see and be seen. It has been considerably widened since then but now fulfils the same role as it did nearly 200 years ago.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, many of the more well to do English enjoyed spending their winters in the less harsh climate of the French Riviera. The promenade provided a useful source of work, for the many beggars who were suffering from a particularly bad winter.
