Located north from Port de Nice, just about 200 meters from the Church of Notre Dame du Port, Place Arson is, perhaps, one of the squares the locals of Nice are the fondest of. The Nicois treasure, at present, this small square by force of the fact it is the place where bowling grew and attained a legendary reputation in Nice. And not only in Nice, since Place Arson became, in time, the place where international bowling competitions would be held.

The early 21st century restoration works were carried out such as to preserve the bowling infrastructure of the place, since the alleys have managed to become in time a symbol of the square. On the other hand, these works have altered the general layout of Place Arson, enhancing the leisure platform of the place with a kids’ playground, sports fields and alleys.

The greenery has also been changed, the place being now shaded by luxuriant palm trees.
