#CotedAzur

Recognisable by its red facades, its Fountain of the Sun and its black and white paving, Place Masséna is the meeting-point for the people of the Côte d'Azur in the heart of Nice.
Created in 1840, the most famous square in the Côte d'Azur has never stopped renewing itself. Place Masséna was designed to link the old quarters with the resort town that developed on the right bank of the Paillon. It became the center of the city thanks to its successful layout, marking the meeting point between the Old Nice, the access to the Promenade des Anglais, the beginning of Rue Masséna which is more commonly known as "la zone piétonne" [the pedestrian area] as well as the beginning of the busy shopping street, Avenue Jean Médecin. Moreover, Nice's Galeries Lafayette are located here, behind a majestic red façade. It sets the tone for the colour of the other buildings surrounding the square.
