Nice, Winter Resort Town of the Riviera
The Mediterranean city of Nice, located close to the Italian border, witnessed the evolution of a winter-weather resort due to its mild climate and its seaside location at the foot of the Alps. From the mid-18th century onwards, Nice attracted an increasing number of aristocratic and upper-class families, mainly British, who enjoyed spending the winter here. In 1832, Nice, then part of the Kingdom of Savoy-Piedmont-Sardinia, adopted an urban plan designed to attract foreigners. Soon afterwards, a 2-meter-wide seaside path, the "Promenade des Anglais", was expanded into a famous seaside promenade, known as the Promenade des Anglais after the city was ceded to France in 1860. Over the next century, the influx of more and more winter residents from other countries, especially Russia, into the city led to the development of new districts around the medieval old town. The multicultural influences of the winter residents and the desire to make the most of the local climatic conditions and landscapes shaped the urban planning and eclectic architectural style of these areas, giving the city its reputation as an international winter resort.
