Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this activity with a walk along the Promenade des Anglais and a visit of the Villa Masséna art museum.
Environmental & Social
Minor environmental impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Helps spread the arts and preserve some of the region's artistic heritage
