What you'll see
A big square paved in a black-and-white chequerboard, ringed by red-ochre arcaded buildings, with the tram gliding through and a row of glowing figures on tall poles overhead.
A brief history
Laid out in the 1800s over the Paillon river, which still runs beneath it; the square is named after a Napoleonic marshal born in Nice.
