In 1823, the promenade was named La Promenade des Anglais by the French, a name that would stick after the annexation of Nice by France in 1860. Friedrich Nietzsche spent six consecutive winters in Nice, and wrote Thus Spoke Zarathoustra here. The area of today's Nice contains Terra Amata, an archaeological site which displays evidence of a very early use of fire 380,000 years ago.

The architecture is in line with the Turin model, which was the norm of urban renewal throughout the entire realm of the House of Savoy. It took several names between 1780 and 1870 (Plaça Pairoulièra, Place de la République, Place Napoléon, Place d'Armes, Place Saint-Augustin, Piazza Vittorio) and finally Place Garibaldi in September 1870. It is on the Promenade des Anglais, near l'Arénas and has two terminals. This name comes from the Lympia spring which fed a small lake in a marshy zone where work on the port was started in 1745. Nice was also heavily bombarded by American aircraft in preparation for the Allied landing in Provence (1000 dead or wounded and more than 5600 people homeless) and famine ensued during summer 1944. Christian Estrosi, its mayor, is a member of the Republicans (formerly the Union for a Popular Movement), the party supporting former President Nicolas Sarkozy. There was also an independent Roman city, Cemenelum, near Nice, where the hill of Cimiez is located.

A helicopter service provided by Heli Air Monaco and Monacair links the city and airport. The main port of Nice is also known as Lympia port. The clear air and soft light have particularly appealed to notable painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Niki de Saint Phalle and Arman. Under Monoprix in Place de Garibaldi are excavated remains of a well-defended city gate on the main road from Turin. The architect was Charles Garnier; Gustave Eiffel designed the main dome.

[22] The three mountains symbolise a territorial honour, without concern for geographic realism.[22]. In November 1942 German troops moved into most of unoccupied France, but Italian troops moved into a smaller zone including Nice. However, in the past few decades immigration has been opened to include immigrants from all over the world, particularly those from former Northern and Western African colonies, as well as southeast Asia[citation needed]. Electrified in 1900, the combined length of the network reached 144 km (89.48 mi) by 1930.

[10] Nice participated – directly or indirectly – in the history of Savoy until 1860. [10], Captured by Nicolas Catinat in 1691, Nice was restored to Savoy in 1696; but it was again besieged by the French in 1705, and in the following year its citadel and ramparts were demolished. General Michel Franceschi (Ret. A metro-like suburban service is also provided on the southern part of the line. The recent rebuilding of the area to accommodate the new tramway line gave mostly the entire square to pedestrians. In 1900, the Tramway de Nice electrified its horse-drawn streetcars and spread its network to the entire département from Menton to Cagnes-sur-Mer. A controversial official report stated later that Montgolfier had made unwarranted accusations. Villefranche-sur-Mer sits on an enclosed bay, while the main expanse of the city lies between the old port city and the Aeroport de Côte d'Azur, across a gently curving bay.

The circuit started along the waterfront just south of the Jardin Albert I, then headed westward along the Promenade des Anglais followed by a hairpin turn at the Hotel Negresco to come back eastward and around the Jardin Albert I before heading again east along the beach on the Quai des Etats-Unis.

Concerts, films, and other major public events frequently occur in this space. The A8 autoroute and the Route nationale 7 pass through the Nice agglomeration.

Nice has a distinct culture due to its unique history. [12] Nice was probably founded around 350 BC by the Greeks Phoceans of Phocaea in Anatolia, and was given the name of Nikaia (Νίκαια) in honour of a victory over the neighbouring Ligurians (Italic peoples in north west of Italy, probably the Vediantii kingdom); Nike (Νίκη) was the Greek goddess of victory. The second line runs east–west from Jean Médecin to the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (and will reach the Port at the end of 2019), while the third line will provide a connection to the future TGV Nice Saint-Augustin and to Lingostière railway station. Due to the activity of the Jewish banker Angelo Donati and of the Capuchin friar Père Marie-Benoît the local authorities hindered the application of anti-Jewish Vichy laws.[16]. The Promenade des Anglais ("Promenade of the English") is a promenade along the Baie des Anges ("Bay of the Angels"), which is a bay of the Mediterranean in Nice. Many Italians from Nizza then moved to the Ligurian towns of Ventimiglia, Bordighera and Ospedaletti,[14] giving rise to a local branch of the movement of the Italian irredentists which considered the re-acquisition of Nice to be one of their nationalist goals. Due to its proximity to the Principality of Monaco, it also serves as that city–state's airport. Conquered in 1792 by the armies of the First French Republic, the County of Nice continued to be part of France until 1814; but after that date it reverted to the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia.[10].

Giuseppe Garibaldi, born in Nice, opposed the cession to France, arguing that the ballot was rigged by the French. In February 2001, European leaders met in Nice to negotiate and sign what is now the Treaty of Nice, amending the institutions of the European Union. Frost is unusual and snowfalls are rare.

However, the resistance gained momentum after the Italian surrender in 1943 when the German army occupied the former Italian zone. It is lined with palm trees and stone pines, instead of being the rectangular roundabout of sorts it had become over the years. Another river flowed into the port on the east side of Castle Hill. The port is the first port cement manufacturer in France, linked to the treatment plants of the rollers of the valley of Paillon. As its name indicates, the Place du Palais is where the Palais de la Justice (Law courts) of Nice is located. For the concept of being nice, see, Prefecture and commune in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France, The city of Nice and its sightseeing attractions. [6] International writers have also been attracted and inspired by the city. Many introduced species grow in parks and gardens. [32], The Hotel Negresco on the Promenade des Anglais was named after Henri Negresco (1868–1920) who had the palatial hotel constructed in 1912. In the present, the court is mostly a place of entertainment. On 26 August 1942, 655 Jews of foreign origin were rounded up by the Laval government and interned in the Auvare barracks.

By day, the place is invaded by the terraces of traditional restaurants and the finest ice-cream makers. [citation needed] Today this is the principal harbour installation of Nice – there is also a small port in the Carras district. Nice is also the southern terminus of the independently run Chemins de Fer de Provence railway line which connects the city with Digne in approximatively 4 hours.

[citation needed] By the late 1980s, rumors of political corruption in the city government surfaced; and eventually formal accusations against Jacques Médecin forced him to flee France in 1990. Trees tend to be scattered but form dense forests in some areas. The first houses were located on higher ground well away from the sea, as wealthy tourists visiting Nice in the 18th century did not come for the beach, but for the gentle winter weather. Nice also has international connections to Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and Russia. Nice has the second largest hotel capacity in the country[7] and it is one of its most visited cities, receiving 4 million tourists every year. Summer temperatures, therefore, are often higher in the city. The square is also notable due to the presence of the city clock. Before the Paillon River was covered over, the Pont-Neuf was the only practicable way between the old town and the modern one. Terra-Amata, an archaeological site dating from the Lower Palaeolithic age, is situated near Nice. Around 350 BC, Greeks of Marseille founded a permanent settlement and called it Nikaia, after Nike, the goddess of victory. The Observatoire de Nice (Nice Observatory) is located on the summit of Mont Gros. Nice has one conference centre: the Palais des Congrès Acropolis.
