You meet in Place Masséna as the square hums with scooter traffic and the kids spot the large, playful statues — the city seems to invite exploration before you’ve even started. The guide leads you across the mirror-like expanse of the Promenade du Paillon, where water jets dare children to dance through cooling sprays and plane trees offer a bar of shade.
