"I want to open the promenade des Anglais to pedestrians and cyclists so that, subject to a strict application of barrier gestures, everyone can benefit from space to practice a physical activity", detailed the mayor LR of Nice, after a meeting of its “local scientific council”.
One or three hour walks?
A little earlier in the day, Christian Estrosi had also asked the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes "to extend to three hours, the authorization to leave to practice a physical activity or walk".
