Nice with its famous Promenade des Anglais is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as the "resort city of the winter Riviera".
Until its heyday in the 19th century, Nice was an ancient Italian settlement in the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. Nice found a new life after the English aristocracy turned its eyes to it, looking for resort places with a mild climate where you can spend the winter.
The annexation of Nice to France in 1860 and the construction of the railway expands the access and the number of rich people who want to relax and improve their health against the background of the tuberculosis epidemic. Boulevards were laid out for them, parks were arranged, palm trees and orange trees were planted.
Nice is turning into a real "winter capital" for rich idlers from Europe. First they were British, then Russians and immigrants from the German and Austro-Hungarian empires.
Gradually, Nice begins to receive guests from all over Europe and even America, which turns the city into the first resort on the French Riviera.
