A rare view: Snow on the Promenade des Anglais. Nice 1955.

A rare 1955 snowfall transforms the Promenade des Anglais in Nice into a surprising winter scene. A heavy blanket of white covers rows of empty outdoor chairs and parked 1950s-era automobiles. Most strikingly, the tropical fronds of tall palm trees droop under the snow’s weight, a surreal contrast to the grand, European-style buildings lining the boulevard.
