Nice's air quality benefits from its Côte d'Azur coastal position, with consistent Mediterranean sea breezes from the sea and periodic Mistral wind events providing natural ventilation. However, the enclosed Var coastal plain between the Maritime Alps and the sea can trap vehicle and tourist traffic emissions under summer anticyclonic calm conditions, while the dense summer tourism season concentrates road and maritime traffic emissions along the Promenade des Anglais corridor.
