Yelp Review 2026 #201:
An iconic spot in Nice, Fontaine du Soleil is a must-visit. It's in between the shopping area and the beach in the center of Place Massena. It's a marble statue of nude Apollo, the Greek god of the sun. Apollo is surrounded by planets.
It was controversial in the beginning because of its nudity so, it was taken down a few years later. Only to be put up again in 2011 and people got over the nudity - this is not the only nude statue in the world.
It's a popular photo spot and meeting place. Because it's a fountain in direct sunlight and no shade, you probably won't want to hang out here in the summer or when it's pouring. read more
