    Nice square close to old town. Worth visiting if nearby, but not worth a special trip. Open square with nice painted buildings and parks on each side, that's it.

    Place Massena is a spectacular square. It is pretty big square and very active very close to the sea. It is like the heart of Nice! A MUST SEE!

    Very disappointed with the way the carnival was conducted. The place itself was ok but man is there 0 information about what happens on opening night. They say its free for entry and then when you queue up suddenly everyone has tickets. They block the whole view from the sides for the carnival and hold it in a super exclusive staged area. We travelled all the way from UK for this for nothing. If people say we should have bought tickets in advance, its clearly mentioned on the website that its free on opening day and doesn't mention about any tickets!
