After the success of Nice 2013. A summer for Matisse which brought together more than 280,000 visitors in a few months, Christian Estrosi chose again Jean-Jacques Aillagon to chair this major cultural event as Commissioner General of the Summer Exhibitions in 2015.
The former Minister of Culture is currently preparing the candidature for the Promenade des Anglais to be registered by UNESCO on the World Heritage List.

The Promenade des Anglais at the heart of the exhibitions

The programming of the city’s museums for summer 2015 will be dedicated to the mythical Promenade des Anglais, a key place in Nice urbanism. It was one of the places that contributed most to the tourist image of the city of Nice. Since the nineteenth century, the Baie des Anges was a winter vacation venue for the English gentry.
The Reverend Lewis Way was at the origin of the creation of the most famous Promenade des Anglais. Bordered by the Mediterranean and pebble beaches, it has since inspired many writers, musicians and filmmakers.
