A popular Beirut promenade along the Mediterranean that follows the path of the former Avenue des Français lined with palm trees whose trunks still bear the bullet hole scars from Lebanon's civil wartime. The corniche runs from Saint George Bay in the northeast, around Ras Beirut, and then on to the Raouche sector where the Pigeon Rocks are. A place to sightsee and watch the fisherman or jog.
The Corniche Beirut is a seaside promenade in the Central District of Beirut, Lebanon. Lined with palm trees, the waterfront esplanade has views of the Mediterranean Sea and the summits of Mount Lebanon to the east. Corniche Beirut has its foundation in the Avenue des Français, which was built during the period of the Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon along the seafront that extended from the old town.
