Place Masséna and Vicinity

The Niçois regard the elegant, arcaded place Masséna as the heart of their city. Around the square, with its sparkling fountain representing the planets, are broad boulevards, and a mile of gardens run around both of its sides. Take time to see the palms and roses at the Jardin Albert 1er (Albert I Garden), Nice's oldest gardens, and the Jardins Suspendus du Paillon (Hanging Gardens of Paillon), a stepped garden filled with azaleas, camellias and aromatic pines.
