Built at the top of a hill, it stood overlooking the bay of Nice from the 11th century to the 18th century. It was besieged several times, especially in 1543 and in 1691, before it was taken by French troops in 1705 and finally destroyed in 1706 by command of Louis XIV. Nowadays, Castle Hill is used as a park.
By Public Transport
Take Bus Line 14 or 38, and get off at "Le Château" (check local maps/schedules).
Buses don’t go all the way up but can drop you closer than starting from the beach.
By Walking
The most scenic route is to walk up the wide, cobblestone staircase that starts at the end of the Promenade des Anglais. This walk takes about 15 minutes from the city center, according to Explore the Riviera.
By Elevator
For those who prefer not to climb, there's an elevator located near Tour Bellanda, which will bring you close to the top, according to What's On in Nice.

The Champ de Mars Park is a place where Colmariens and tourists like to sit on one of the many benches to enjoy the shade of the trees. By the mid-eighteenth century, part of this square located southwest of the city had been converted into a public walk. In 1793, the city transformed this space into a military drill ground and a place of celebration, renamed Champ de Mars. During the nineteenth century this park of approval takes its current form with its vast aisles whose design recalls the cross of the legion of honor. In 1856, Auguste Bartholdi installed a statue of General Rapp on the square in the North, henceforth called by the name of the Colombian hero. Then in 1864 he built Admiral Bruat's fountain in the center of the park. These two monuments installed in the alignment of the prefecture reinforce the attraction of the site. The jets of water of the Rapp place, the Carrousel 1900 and the numerous games for children (swings, slides or rockers), contribute to the animation of this place of life colmarien.
