Albert I Garden, Urban park in city center Nice, France

Albert I Garden is an urban park in central Nice that stretches between Place Massena and the Promenade des Anglais. The grounds feature open green spaces, several fountains, shaded areas under palm trees, and well-maintained pathways for walking.

The garden was laid out in 1852 on the drained Prato della foce, a site chosen in 1832 by the Consiglio d'Ornato. It was renamed in 1914 after King Albert I of Belgium, honoured for his stance against Germany, not for any visit. The 1890 covering of the Paillon allowed its extension to the present size.

The garden has long served as a venue for music performances and continues to shape the city's cultural life. Visitors can experience international artists gathering with local audiences, particularly during summer months when outdoor concerts take place.

Visitors will find restrooms, shaded seating areas, and wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout the park. Most facilities are easy to locate, and there is plenty of space to rest and explore the grounds.

The metal sculpture on the central lawn, Bernar Venet's Arc Monumental 115.5°, is 19 metres long and dates from 1988; it is a second version of the Arc de 124.5° in Berlin. Until the 1960s children could ride wooden carts pulled by donkeys around the whole garden, a practice stopped by growing car traffic.
