Overview

Always a great favorite in large cities, pedestrian precincts are places where human hustle and bustle takes over from the noise of the wheeled traffic. In Nice, the Masséna Zone is the perfect place for a coffee break, trying one of the many fine restaurants or going on a shopping spree. There are clothing options for everyone, for all tastes and budgets. Street artists can often be seen performing here--jugglers, musicians, mime artists--and the warm atmosphere extends throughout the day and into the evening, when everyone takes advantage of the summer months to dine al fresco.
