Two new tramlines in Nice draw their identity from the districts they serve. Line 2 is coastal and thus widens the symbolic Promenade des Anglais with its red pedestrian surfaces, its seaside street furniture, and its garden vegetation... Line 3 climbs the Var Valley and participates in its eco-development with colonized pebble track bed retaining rainwater, timber platforms and reeds constitute a water-friendly biotope.
