Promenade des Anglais

The Promenade des Anglais (English Walk) runs along the pebbly shore of Nice's beach. Recent travelers say that it's not only a beautiful place for a stroll, but it's also a good place to get your directional bearings (since the city's attractions basically spoke off from here). However, one TripAdvisor traveler recommends females stay with a group: "cars will pull over for you no matter how you are dressed and assume that, because you are alone, you must be 'available'." But the walkway is open at all hours. To do as the French do, call it "Promenade" or even "La Prom" for short.
