Highlights:
The English Promenade was built by the British colonists of Nice in 1822. The whole site is 5 kilometers away, next to the Bay of Angels, connecting Nice Airport and the Castle Hill. The avenue is adorned with palm trees all year round, and is lined with boutiques and luxury hotels on both sides. In the 19th century, a large number of Britons chose Nice's Bay of Angels as their holiday destination to escape the harsh winter. In 1820, Lewis Wei, an Englishman, initiated social fundraising and built the pedestrian street, which was only 2 meters wide at the time, into the current-scale avenue, and named "Anglais, the British" as the name of the avenue.

Highlights:
Angel Bay is adjacent to the English Promenade, named after the shape of the wings of an angel. It is a very beautiful beach in France and a good place to spend summer. Climbing up the castle and overlooking from the east is a better angle to appreciate Angel Bay. The beaches of Nice are very special. The beach is paved with pebbles. You can directly use your backpack as a pillow, lie on the coast, enjoy the luxurious sunbathing, and listen to the sound of the sea flowing through the cracks of the rocks as the tide hits the pebbles.

Highlights:
The small town of Eze, located between Nice and Monaco, is a medieval town on the cliffs of the Cote d'Azur. Because of its well-preserved medieval-style villages and its geographical location with a bird's-eye view of the Mediterranean Sea, it has attracted countless tourists. The town is built on a steep rock wall. All buildings are made of stone and loess. The roads are narrow and criss-cross like a labyrinth, like the way a vulture builds a nest. Therefore, it is also called "Vulture Nest Village". The Oscar-winning American film To Catcha Thief was filmed here.

Highlights:
Nice Castle Hill is located on a hill at the eastern end of the American Pier, 92 meters high, overlooking the old city of Nice and the Bay of Angels to the west, and overlooking the Port of Limbia to the east. The castle here has been destroyed in 1706, only the Bellanda Tower (TourBellanda) remains to this day, and it is still possible to imagine the momentum of the castle overlooking the coastline. The park features an 18th-century man-made waterfall and children's playground, making it a great spot for a picnic.
