The most fashionable stretch of coastline in France, the Côte d'Azur extends from Saint-Tropez to Menton near the border with Italy. Côte d'Azur translates to "Coast of Blue," a fitting name to describe the Mediterranean's mesmerizing cerulean waters. The French Riviera capital city of Nice for example is the second most visited

city in all of France. Its tourist attractions illustrate the histor y of humans, from the prehistoric sites of Cro Magnon to the steel and glass of the Futuroscope. • the prehistoric megaliths of Carnac, • the Roman remains of Provence,

• the medieval castles and cathedrals, • the splendours of Versailles, • the nineteenth century Eiffel Tower, • the resolute modernity of the TGV, etc.

LOCATION

• Located on the southeast coast, the French Riviera is one of the most beautiful regions in all of France. • Though having no official boundary, it is considered by most people to range from the Cassis commune in the west, all the way over to the town of Menton which lies upon the FrenchItalian border. • Also referred to as the Côte d’Azur, this southern region is composed of miles of stunning Mediterranean coastline, breathtaking natural landscapes, amazing cities and glorious year-round sunshine. • The French Riviera capital city of Nice for example is the second most visited city in all of France. • The 115 km of coastline is known for its superyatch fleets includes the cities Nice, Antibes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Menton and Cannes.

TO U R I S M I N T H E F R E N C H R I V I E R A • As France’s second most visited region, tourism is an important industry here on the Riviera.

• Tourism provides over 75,000 jobs for the region. Accounting for a whopping 16% of overall employment. Including indirect employment, that figure jumps all the way up to 150,000 jobs. • Annually, the Côte d’Azur attracts over 11 million tourists, of which stay an average of 6.3 nights.

D E V E LO P M E N T O F F R E N C H R I V I E R A • The history of the French Riviera is one of the longest and most fascinating in all of Europe. Previously, it had once been home to prehistoric, primitive people over 400,000 years ago. From there came Greek settlers around 350 BC. • It wasn’t until the 1800’s that the French Riviera began to develop into the popular destination that it is today. Until the end of the 18th century, the Côte d’Azur region was a remote and impoverished area.

NICE new plans and ambitions NICE

is a traditional, original and lively city, and is currently undergoing a genuine economic, cultural, artistic and architectural revolution. Creative, dynamic, cosmopolitan and youthful, it is home to many impressive projects worthy of even the greatest capital cities. Innovation is omnipresent here and tangible in all fields. Nice is a city on the move, constantly changing and excelling. A dynamic channel for energies of all kinds.

NICE KEY FEATURES

France’s fifth-largest city 350,000 inhabitants, 50% of whom are under the age of 40 10 km of coastline including 7.5 km of beaches 300 hectares of green areas and 1,500 of woodland within the area’s 7,192 hectares, 300 days of sunshine per year France’s largest metropolitan area: 47 districts with 550,200 habitants in a 14,000 km2 area from the coastal towns to the ski resorts of the Mercantour

PROMENADE DES ANGLAIS IN NICE

The Promenade stretches for seven kilometres, from the airport in the west of the city, to the castle headland in the east. It takes its name from the English people who paid for it to be built.

The Promenade des Anglais in Nice is one of France’s best known and iconic seafronts. This was once the preferred strolling spot for British aristocrats, and today it is a fashionable meeting place for beach lovers and sports fans: in a century and a half the famous Promenade des Anglais hasn’t lost any of its appeal. Convertibles cruise along the streets lined with palm trees, and walkers enjoy the view of one of the most beautiful bays on the Côte d'Azur.

Nice became a second home to many European aristocrats in the 18th century, who took up winter residence along the coast in Cannes and Nice. Many had grand houses built, like those which line the Boulevard de Cimiez, in the hills above Nice. The current Musée Masséna and Musée des Beaux Arts (both wonderful art museums) are former homes for rich aristocrats who wintered in the centre of Nice.

THE TOURISM-BASED ECONOMY

Promenade des Anglais is Nice’s main attraction

•

• • •

• The Promenade des Anglais is also where many events are organized. It is here that part of the famous Nice Carnival takes place, as well as sporting events, exhibitions, and meetings. The Promenade also leads to many interesting places and attractions in Nice. There are magnificent parks, museums, fashionable beaches, and, of course, luxury hotels and casinos.

• • •

The leading international airport after Paris, with more than 11 million passengers, 61% of whom are from abroad France’s leading low-cost air hub with 17 airline companies. The leading tourism destination in France after Paris with more than 5 million visitors per year. One of the leading conference destinations in France thanks to its Nice-Acropolis conference centre, which has been named best conference centre in Europe several times. One of the leading cruise destinations in France with 466,000 passengers (excluding the ferries). One of the widest range of hotels in France after Paris with almost 200 hotels and 10,000 bedrooms. The highest concentration of museums after Paris with 19 museums and galleries. The first city in France to have a wine AOC (appellation d’origine contrôlée – controlled designation of origin) on its territory.

PROJECT The requalification of the Promenade des Anglais. In 2013, Nice submitted an application to have the Promenade des Anglais listed as UNESCO World Heritage. Often described as one of the world’s finest avenues, it will be upgraded to enable walkers to admire a better view. Palm groves, pontoons, designer lighting effects and traffic reduction measures are the key features which will leave more space for walkers and for sporting and cultural events. This project will be completed in several phases with the first beginning June 2013. Delivery is scheduled for 2017.

S T R E N T H S A N D P OT E N T I A L S CULTURAL TOURISM

GOURMENT TOURISM

• In Ile de France lay countless castles and palaces from all time eras, fortified castles, castles from the Renaissance, most being royal residencies. Between Versailles, Chantilly, Fontainebleau, Saint Germain en Laye, between architectural discoveries and historical walks, castles tell you all about their historic secrets if you take enough time to listen to the stones.

• Open since September 2018, Alain Ducasse's floating restaurant called Ducasse sur Seine invites you to travel and discover new flavors for lunch and dinner-cruises aboard an electric boat built especially for him.

• The Palace of Versailles is a symbol of the absolute power of the Kings of France. We’ll never get tired of walking around this universe created by Louis XIV to show his power to the whole world! And on weekends, the 55 fountains set in the 850 hectares of Versailles gardens provide an incredible show inherited from the Sun Century.

• After opening his ORE restaurant in Versailles, Spoon 2 at Paris Bourse, Ducasse stormed the Seine this September 2018 with a cruise-restaurant that can accomodate 200 persons on board. Whether it's for lunch or dinner, each of the 2 services offers a 90 to 120--minute ride around the greatest monuments in Paris.

ECOTOURISM

GREEN TOURISM

• Center Parcs holding corporation Pierre et Vacances and Euro Disney join forces to create a Village Nature in Île-de-France, a few kilometers close to Disneyland Paris. Starting from May 21, 2021, we can go and relax in this green and environmentally friendly village. What can we do there and how does it work amid the coronavirus pandemic? We tell you everything.

• The Parc des Buttes Chaumont set in Paris 19th arrondissement is one of the biggest green areas in Paris. For a run, a picnic or a bucolic walk, this large green setting is a must.

• Villages Nature Paris opened in 2017 near Paris, a stone's throw from Disneyland Paris.

• It has been drawn in order to reproduce a mountain landscape and it’s a success: between the rocks, the pastures, the cliffs and the waterways, we almost feel like we left Paris.

TRENDS IN BICYCLE USE LARGE SPATIAL DIFFERENCES IN TRENDS IN BICYCLE USE

PARTICULAR INCREASE IN USE OF BICYCLES FOR EDUCATION, WORK, AND LEISURE

GROWTH IN BICYCLE USE SINCE 2005: MORE PEOPLE, MORE FREQUENTLY ON THE ROAD, TRAVELLING GREATER DISTANCES

Measured by kilometres travelled, bicycle use has increased by some 12 per cent since 2005. Both the growth in the number of cyclists and the increased mobility per capita (more frequent trips over greater distances) contribute to the increase in bicycle kilometres.

L ARGE SOCIAL DIFFERENCES IN TRENDS IN BICYCLE USE PARTICULAR RISE IN BICYCLE USE AMONG ADOLESCENTS

BICYCLE USE IS LESS WIDESPREAD AMONG PERSONS

AND YOUNG ADULTS UP TO 30 YEARS OF AGE...

FROM A NON-WESTERN MIGRATION BACKGROUND

Among young adults (ages 18 to 30), the use of bicycles for recreational purposes has also risen vis-à-vis 2005. Presumably, this is largely related to the fact that this group, more so than in former days, is domiciled in (highly) urbanised areas.

... AND GROWING BICYCLE USE BY OVER-60S

The over-60s account for by and large half of the growth in bicycle use for recreational purposes. On the one hand, because the overall health situation of this age group has improved, and on the other, because the introduction of electric bicycles has fostered the use of bicycles among seniors.

POSSESSION AND USE OF BIKES BIKES MAINLY USED FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES BICYCLE SALES ON THE RISE

DECREASE IN USE OF CARS AND “ORDINARY” BIKES AMONG OWNERS OF E-BIKES

CATERING FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS (Electric) cargo bikes are cleaner, often faster and have a smaller traffic footprint than vans. Contribute to the ambition of having emissionsfree urban logistics by 2025. Users need space on the urban network for fast and heavily loaded cargo bikes. Strategic shipment points.

Cycle to work, often in combination with public transport or the car. There is a wide range of speeds and habits within this group. Users need safe bicycle storage facilities near public transport, facilities at work, information on allowances for commuting by bike, high-quality routes on commuter corridors.

The bicycle as a standard mode of transport for daily use (in the city). It is cheap, easy and quick. Users need bicycle parking facilities at home and at day-to-day destinations, as well as a close-knit network.

Cycling to school, to friends or a sports club (unsupervised) means a degree of freedom and contributes to happy, healthy children. You’re never too young to learn. Requirements: a safe environment to be able to learn to cycle independently, traffic safety education.

CATERING FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS Greater distances can be covered more quickly, thanks to pedal-assist. Increasing differences in speed are putting pressure on the current Dutch cycling infrastructure. Users need safe storage facilities and charging stations, sufficient space on the cycle path.

Make it possible for people to learn to cycle or continue cycling; from beginners to people considering stopping (such as the elderly). Users need support when learning to cycle (on a different type of bike), image of cycling.

The Netherlands has 850,000 cyclists who actively ride a (race or mountain) bike for exercise once per month on average. Users need sufficient space for racing cyclists, good urban-rural connections and starting points.

Cycling as a pastime. Cycle tourists and visitors make an important contribution to the economy (the leisure sector in particular) in our country. Users need good urban-rural connections, a network that covers the country, interesting surroundings, facilities and catering options.

PROJECTS FOR BICYCLE TOURISM: INTERSECTIONS ROUNDABOUT SCHEVENINGEN Location: The Hague, Plesmanweg and Nieuwe Parklaan

OBJECTIVE The main objective was to improve the safety and comfort for all modes of transport, and to improve the traffic flow and comfort for

surroundings, align with the central role in its bicycle route network

REASON FOR INTERVENTION The crossing Plesmanweg-Nieuwe Parklaan in Scheveningen used to be one large chunk of asphalt. Cyclists had to take two crossings if they wanted to take a left turn and the bicycle facilities were poorly marked. Another reason for intervention was the outdated traffic signaling system which needed to be replaced.

and remain accessible for public transport and emergency services.

INTERVENTION The intersection is redesigned as a roundabout. Cyclists have separated bicycle infrastructure, pedestrians have separated foot paths, and the curve is large enough to serve cars, busses and larger traffic. For comfortable cycling, cyclists on the roundabout have priority over cars. As many elements of the roundabout are developed with green plants to give it a natural touch, the roundabout blends into its surroundings. The roundabout more or less fits in the same space as the former four-arm junction, although

the crossings for cyclists and pedestrians have become much shorter. 36

LESSONS LEARNED 1. Improving safety and comfort for cyclists and pedestrians can improve safety and flow for car drivers as well. 2. By redesigning the intersection into a roundabout with enough attention to green, as asphalt was replaced by green space, the location fits better in its surroundings. 3. Roundabouts, , if well planned, can require the same amount of space as current junctions. 4. Roundabouts are more cost-effective having no operational costs for maintenance and management of the traffic lights.

Roundabouts, if well planned, can require the same amount of space as current junctions. 37

The cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen (both approximately 180.000

inhabitants) are about 18 kilometres apart and growing towards each

region.

other. This creates a large pressure on the public space and infrastructure in the area. To give commuters and other travellers an alternative to travel between the two cities, a cycling highway was

proposed. 38

LESSONS LEARNED 1. Building a cycling highway is just as much about (personal) cooperation between municipalities, regions, provinces and the national level as it is about developing technical standards. Creating (and keeping!) political support, flexible planning options and mutual considerations for each municipality’s challenge is key to building longer and inter-connected cycling infrastructure. 2. A cycling highway is not about top-speed; it is about convenience, not wasting (physical) energy, safety and low stress. People choose these routes to have an easy, relaxed and reasonably quick commute. Travel time gains are not the main reason why people choose the bicycle; exercise, the joy of being outside and reasonable speeds matter more! 3. Be careful with the words: a ‘cycling highway’ fits into the car narrative of building multi-lane highways, sparking fears of noise, unsafety and other effects. But… The term is very appealing to regional or provincial decision makers: it fits the narratives of broader policy development; this might help you in the early development process of the routes.
