The blue chairs are an integral part of the promenade and have their own memorial.

The **Blue Chair** (La Chaise Bleue) is an iconic work of art and symbol of Nice, located along the **Promenade des Anglais**. Here are some key points about this work of art:

### Features of the Blue Chair:

1. **Design**: The Blue Chair was designed by the artist **François Mamou-Mani** in 2004. The design is inspired by the typical deckchairs found on the Promenade, which are often used by both tourists and locals to enjoy the sea view.

2. **Symbolism**: The chair represents the relaxed lifestyle of Nice and the Côte d'Azur. It is an invitation to sit, relax and enjoy the Mediterranean climate and beautiful surroundings.

3. **Colour and Shape**: The chair is bright blue, which is typical of the city and its association with the sea and the sky. The design is modern and playful, and it is a popular spot for photos.

4. **Location**: Located on the Promenade des Anglais, close to the beach, the chair attracts many visitors. It is a landmark and a favorite spot for photographers and tourists.

5. **Cultural Impact**: The Blue Chair is not only a work of art, but also a cultural symbol of Nice. It is often used in marketing materials and as a landmark for the city.

### Accessibility:
The Blue Chair is open to the public, and visitors are free to use it. It is a great place to sit, enjoy the view, and soak up the atmosphere of Nice.
