Place Masséna

  Place Masséna sits at the heart of Nice, adjacent to the vibrant Promenade du Paillon. Dating back to 1832, this public square was designed with a striking blend of French and Italian architectural influences, making it a central hub for both locals and visitors. The main feature is its expansive 16,000 square meters area, which often hosts various events and festivals throughout the year. In December, the square transforms into a festive market, perfect for experiencing local holiday traditions. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls, admire the colorful flower beds, and observe the iconic "Conversation à Nice" sculptures that dot the area.
