In the heart of Nice, the Promenade du Paillon links planted areas, play areas and water features around place Masséna. Children can explore wooden structures inspired by marine animals, while the paths offer a chance to pause between neighbourhoods. The reflecting pool and mist sprays add to the garden’s atmosphere, depending on their operating hours and local conditions.
