1913 Nice, France – La Promenade des Anglais – Postcard

This historical postcard presents a vibrant view of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, capturing a lively scene along the famous Mediterranean waterfront. 
The Promenade des Anglais, named after the British aristocrats who helped fund its construction in the 19th century, became a symbol of the French Riviera’s glamour and prestige. Originally built as a seaside walkway for the wealthy, it evolved into a major public thoroughfare lined with grand hotels, villas, and lush gardens. By the early 20th century, it had become a hub for international visitors seeking relaxation and leisure by the sea.
The scene depicted in this postcard showcases the era’s fashionable society, with gentlemen in formal attire and ladies in elegant dresses strolling along the promenade. 
The reverse side of the postcard features a handwritten message sent from the Hôtel de Nice, detailing the sender’s travel plans and social visits.
