As the only one in my circle of friends that reads the Nice-Matin every day, I always end up being the go-to gal for local info. Finally I decided to just put it in a blog.
I moved from Hawaii to Nice in the late 90′s with a sort of “Under the Tuscan Sun” vibe: post-divorce, no job, no apartment, no residency card, and not even able to speak French (or any other foreign language for that matter!). Fortunately, my naiveté was outmatched by stubbornness, resourcefulness, optimism, and a whole lot of luck, and 13 years later, not only am I still here, I am an expert.
Feel free to contact me with comments on the blog, suggestions of topics to cover, or especially your favorite places in Nice that I might have missed. I am also available for consultations on moving to Nice, conquering French bureaucracy, and trip planning.

This is very helpful for me and our guests. We have an apartment in Nice and Cannes and this blog will be great to forward to them.
Thank you; glad you like it! I’ll be adding a lot more content pages in the next few weeks, and by the end of the year it should cover just about everything…
