🇫🇷 Nice Radiant Coastal Walk: From Baie des Anges to Port Lympia

Описание: Explore the stunning coastline of the French Riviera in this scenic walking tour through Nice. We begin our journey at the Quai des États-Unis, where the vibrant azure waters of the Mediterranean meet the iconic pebble beaches.
As we stroll along the promenade, we pass the historic Hôtel Suisse and enter the legendary Quai Rauba Capeu. Known in the local dialect as the place "where hats are stolen" due to its refreshing sea breezes, this stretch offers some of the most breathtaking views of the Baie des Anges.
Our route takes us past the striking yellow Villa La Vigie, a Belle Époque masterpiece perched above the sea, and the monumental Monument aux Morts de Rauba-Capeù, a massive war memorial carved directly into the limestone cliffs of Castle Hill (Colline du Château).
Finally, we transition from the open sea to the bustling atmosphere of Port Lympia. Here, we take a closer look at the diverse maritime life, from traditional wooden "pointus" fishing boats to massive industrial vessels and luxury superyachts.
