😐 There are a lot of companies' offices in there, but not parking slot available for everyone who works there... the buildings need some maintenance... easy to get there with bus, train or driving.

😐 As for the beach, nothing special. The Lido is above all known for the film festival. Unfortunately when I was there it was still under construction. If you come to these parts for the sea and the beach you are on the wrong road because you will find better places a few kilometers away.
