Blog: Video Diary of an American in France - 29 February 2012

Blog: MuseumChick - 27 January 2011

Lady in Nice
Blog: A Lady in London - 4 October 2010
The best part about flying into Nice Airport is the view. The runway is right on the sea, and as the plane makes its descent, there are gorgeous views of everything from the waterfront Promenade des Anglais to the tree-studded mountains in the background. I enjoyed these in-flight views of Nice on Friday afternoon as [...]

Nice is… No, I’m not going to say it.
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 6 November 2009
It has been Greek, it has been Roman, it has been Italian and it is now French. Yet, throughout the ages, Nice has always been Niçois; or is it Niçard? Maybe it’s neither. My French is awful and my Niçard is nonexistent, but the individuality of Nice is indisputable. There are spots throughout the world where an area has been subject to one conqueror or another and, yet, has always stayed true to itself. When a new culture holds sway here, the area has changed the culture rather than the ...
