French to English: FR-EN Nice Tourism - Promenade des anglais General field: Marketing Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - French Pourquoi la Promenade des Anglais ?
La « Prom » pour les niçois… Si vous venez à Nice vous pourrez difficilement l’éviter et pour cause elle est incontournable, mythique et mondialement connue… Elle est d’ailleurs candidate au Patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco.
Difficile à croire en la regardant aujourd'hui mais cette imposante promenade n'était qu'un modeste sentier terreux au début du XIXe siècle ! A partir du milieu du XVIIIe siècle, Nice est fréquentée comme station d’hiver par de riches Anglais. Cependant, les britanniques se plaignent de ne pas disposer d’une promenade le long du bord de mer. Qu’à cela ne tienne, un premier tronçon est aménagé afin que le bord de mer devienne un lieu agréable de promenade. Aujourd’hui, elle s’étend sur 7 km de l’aéroport jusqu'au port et permet de découvrir le littoral niçois.
Côté sud, la mer Méditerranée à l’infini et ses plages de galets, Côté Nord, vous serez en admiration devant les plus beaux palaces et hôtels mythiques tel le Negresco, le palais de la Méditerranée avec sa façade art déco... les immeubles style belle époque et contemporain, les casinos… Sans oublier ses palmiers qui la bordent tout du long…
On y flâne, on se baigne, on y pratique différents sports, on admire le coucher du soleil assis sur les chaises bleues, on se laisse bercer par le roulis des galets, on y prend des bains de soleil.., Les « nissarts » en profitent pour faire un jogging ou la parcourir en vélo et rollers. Que ce soit par beau temps ou plus couvert, elle reste un lieu de promenade très agréable et le panorama sur la Baie des Anges est « magique ».
Translation - English Why the English Promenade?
The ‘’Prom’’ for the Niçoise…. If you come to Nice it will be hard to miss it, for it is mystic, world-famous and cannot be overlooked… Hence why it is a candidate for becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Difficult to believe when looking at it today but this imposing promenade was nothing more than a modest earthy trail at the start of the 19th Century! From the middle of the 18th Century, Nice has been frequented as a winter destination for the wealthy English. However, the British complained about not having access to a promenade alongside the sea. Not a problem, as the first section was built so that the sea became a pleasant place to stroll. Today, it extends 7 kilometers from the airport to the port and allows one to discover the Nice coastline.
To the South, the indefinite Mediterranean Sea and its pebbled beaches. To the North, you will look in admiration before the most beautiful palaces and mystical hotels such as the Negresco, the Palace of the Mediterranean with its art deco façade… Golden Age and contemporary-style buildings, the casinos… Not to mention the palm trees which stretch all the way along.
There, one can stroll, bathe in the sea, practice different sports, admire the sunset while seated on the blue chairs, relax to the sound of rolling pebbles, sunbathe…, The ‘’Nissarts’’ make the most of it by jogging or going along by bike or roller-skates. Whether in good weather or overcast, it remains a most pleasant place to walk and the panorama over the Bay of Angels is ‘’magical’’.
