Chris Robinson
★★★★★Edited 4 years agoGreat little park that is situated close to the beach. On the Promenade De Anglais. It is where the Christmas Fair was situated when I visited between Christmas and New Year. If you get the chance to go at that time of year i definitely recommend that you try the big wheel as the views are stunning especially at night when the projections are shone onto the buildings behind the Fountain of the Sun.

★★★★★2 months agoVery nice small park in the center of the city, with some great sculptures. Perfect on a sunny day. Don't miss the Fontaine du Soleil some metres ahead.
