The tunnel, temporarily named The Cool Flow, would run through the underground of Nice for about 600 meters, with a temperature kept at 21°C all year round. Souvenir shops, a sandwich bar, and a beach umbrella rental point would be integrated into the route to "enhance the user experience," according to the press release.

The seaside exit would lead directly to the Promenade des Anglais, between the Meridien and the Negresco, which is exactly where it's impossible to lay down your towel in July anyway. The Metropolis assures: the work will take place "mainly at night and in a non-disruptive manner."

Tourists planning to take the tram are encouraged to explore other options!
