点评:Jardin Albert 1er (Albert 1st Garden) is a very pleasant seven and a half acre park that connects Place Massena and Promenade des Anglais in Nice.
Created in 1852 and named in honour of former Belgian King, King Albert 1st, who was apparently a firm friend of France.
In a park that is over 30,000m², it is little wonder that there is much to see and do. One of the first things you will come across if you come Place Massena is the Arc de Venet (or the Arc de 115.5°), which is a public art installation that is basically a 19m high metal arc. It's hard to think of much else to say about it. It was installed in 1988, and was designed by an artist that studied his craft in Nice.
Beyond that and you will find a small memorial to King Albert I himself, and a selection of pleasant fountains and statues.
You are surrounded by palm trees and bright flowers (in the summer) and it does feel like an oasis amongst the admittedly relaxed hustle and bustle of Nice.
Tye feather in the park's cap, however, is the Théâtre de Verdure, an outdoor theatre venue located in the park that plays host to important events such as the Nice Book Festival, the Nice Jazz Festival and the Côte d'Azur Garden Festival. It also hosts numerous concerts throughout the year.
One of these concerts was taking place on the night I arrived in Nice. I have no idea what concert it was, as I avoided it like the plague.
As with just about everywhere in Nice, this is a place I always come back to when I am in town. It's restful, pretty and a huge asset to Nice.
翻译:阿尔伯特一世花园 (Jardin Albert 1er) 是一个占地七英亩半的宜人公园,连接尼斯的马塞纳广场和英国大道。
建于 1852 年,以前比利时国王阿尔伯特一世的名字命名,他显然是法国的忠实朋友。
在一个面积超过 30,000 平方米的公园里,有许多可看可做的事情,这并不奇怪。 如果您来到马塞纳广场,您首先会看到的就是威尼斯拱门 (或 115.5° 拱门),这是一个公共艺术装置,基本上是一个 19 米高的金属拱门。 很难想出关于它的其他东西。 它于 1988 年安装,由一位在尼斯学习手艺的艺术家设计。
除此之外,您还会发现一座纪念阿尔伯特一世国王的小纪念碑,以及一系列宜人的喷泉和雕像。
你被棕榈树和鲜艳的花朵包围(夏天),感觉就像是尼斯喧嚣中的一片绿洲。
不过,公园的亮点是绿色剧院,这是一座位于公园内的露天剧院,举办尼斯图书节、尼斯爵士音乐节和法国蔚蓝海岸花园节等重要活动。它还全年举办多场音乐会。
我到达尼斯的那天晚上,其中一场音乐会正在举行。我不知道那是什么音乐会,因为我极力避免去那里。
就像尼斯的其他地方一样,我每次来尼斯都会回到这里。这里宁静、美丽,是尼斯的一大财富。
