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 Maui 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, 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 below 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.
As I was updating the transportation section of our guest book for our Nice apartment, I stumbled upon your blog, wherein I lost myself for the better part of an hour… Thank you for this terrific resource!
Hi there, just read your site and think it is FANTASTIC!! So much information and I couldn’t stop reading. You must have put in a huge amount of research and continued attention to this.
Hi Allison,
Just wanted to say I’m so happy I discovered your site – it is fabulous! Not even sure how I got here (possibly Tripadvisor, or looking for guided tours), but you cover everything a visitor could ever need to know.
I’ll be spending a week in August, this will be my sixth visit to Nice but still have so much more to see – so I will be checking your blog regularly.
Thanks again for your great work.
Judi.
