Sights & sites
Located close to the city’s harbour, this park stretches over a surface of 1 hectare.
The park is neither one of the largest nor one of the oldest parks in Nice as it was only recently built in 1971 on the property of a former local viscount, Achille Georges Vigier.
The greenery consists mainly of Mediterranean species, palm trees and sundry exotic specimens. Most importantly, the first Phoenix Canariensis was planted on this site.
Opens at 08:00. Closing time depends on the time of year (19:00 in April, May and September; 20:00 from June to August; 18:00 from October to March)
