Place Masséna

Place Masséna is without a doubt Nice's most famous square and certainly the most impressive. Surrounded by the Albert I and Masséna gardens, the imposing red-coloured buildings bordering the square assert an even greater presence. During the Carnival, it comes as no surprise that the King's float takes pride of place in this very spot. Place Masséna is also one of the city's key central points: Vieux-Nice is within easy reach, as is the sea or even the main shopping thoroughfares. You're bound to pass through it at some point.
