means A promenade is a leisurely public walk taken for pleasure or display, or the paved place — often along a seafront — set aside for exactly that.

from Straight from French promenade, 'a walk,' from the verb promener, 'to take for a walk' — itself from Latin prominare, 'to drive forward' (pro-, 'forward,' plus minare, 'to drive,' as in herding animals). So buried in this most genteel of strolls is the image of cattle being driven down a road; the English borrowed the word in the 1500s and kept the elegance while quietly dropping the livestock.
