Un dimanche à Nice, Metal sculpture at Port Lympia, Nice, France

The aluminum sculpture displays large three-dimensional letters forming words that reflect memories and experiences from the Mediterranean city.

The metal artwork was installed at Place Guynemer on November 13, 2019, as part of Nice's initiative to enhance public spaces with contemporary art.

The sculpture combines typographic elements with spatial design, representing a continuation of Nice's strong connection to modern artistic expressions.

Visitors can observe the 170 by 195 by 280 centimeter sculpture while walking along the port area, particularly during morning and evening hours.

The metalwork contains intricate engravings that transform written language into a three-dimensional form, creating different visual effects throughout the day.

Nice to photograph: best viewpoints, Promenade des Anglais, and Castle Hill

Nice naturally lends itself to photography. The Mediterranean light shapes the city from morning to evening, revealing in turn the ochre facades of Old Nice, the palms lining the Promenade des Anglais, or the blue domes of Saint-Nicolas Orthodox Cathedral. From the Château hilltop, at 92 meters high, the view encompasses the entire bay, while below, Place Masséna displays its geometric paving stones and red facades. The flower market at Cours Saleya, established since the 17th century, extends to Lympia Port where yellow facades reflect in the water, each neighborhood forming a different scene. The Negresco Hotel with its pink dome marks the coastline, and the Matisse Museum shares the painter's love for the light of the South. Nice offers a variety of viewpoints, making it a preferred destination for those interested in capturing the architecture, colors, and vitality of a city oriented toward the Mediterranean.
