    I also used to live in Nice. For almost 3 years. It was the best 3 years of my life. We started our married life with my husband there, and I still remember our strolls on the promenade, climbing mont boron, and having a glass of rosé in pepinos, where you had your coffee. It is a pity there is not that much employment there because if it was our choice, we would probably go back tomorrow. I still dream of maybe, buying an apartment there in the future.. One can only dream

      Hello, were there things for everyday life that you didn't like ? Like for example too much crowd etc.?

      The French Riviera like Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, etc... is more suitable for wealthy foreigners who don't have to work there but have steady stream of high income coming from overseas. The area, in general, is so much cleaner, nicer, more extravagant, less crowded, and less stressful than Paris. The only drawback is the limited job opportunities for foreigners who need to work in order to pay their bills.

    The Stoney beach may not be the most comfortable, but you have to sit on it and listen when the waves come in and stir those pebbles! It is the most unique and soothing sound I have ever heard!

    Crazy how this popped up today for me....on YT. I spent a summer in Nice as a teen. In 1987, it was wonderful. And, BTW I am one who loved the rock covered beaches... Lol. No mess, like with the sand. The ice cream, and fresh fruit...I can recall as fantastic. That was a summer I'll never forget....first time abroad without my parents. Good times.

    Congrats on 5k subscribers!
    That McDonald's is the first McDonald's I ever ate at outside of the US. I was very tired and did not feel like sitting and having a long meal. I went in and the first thing I saw was the coffee and Pastry counter. I was shocked at how nice it was. Then I noticed they sold beer and wine. I still wonder why our McDonald's does not have that stuff in them. Not that I eat at McDonald's that much. I think the last time I had it was in September 2016 in Paris.
    I was shocked that I didn't hate the rocky beach. I was over on the public beach by Castle Hill and getting out of the water there was super steep. Most people were crawling out basically, including me. Lol
    Anyway, it was great seeing Nice through your eyes.
    It holds a place in my heart because it was the first city in Europe I ever went too. I remember flying in and seeing the French coast and my heart fluttered. ❤️❤️❤️

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @annainaspen
      @annainaspen 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It did!! It makes the food taste better too. Lol
      I might need to get the info on that apartment you stayed at. It’s fabulous! The ship I was on in September parked where the ferry was parked.
      I stayed at a hotel next to the elevator that takes you to the top of Castle Hill. It was convenient but if the Apartment is less expensive I’d go that route next time.

    New subscriber here...loving your videos and many of them are helping me prepare for my first trip to France (2019 🤗). I'm a 48 y.o. American high school teacher and I often tell people that the only place I'll be pissed off about not getting to in my life is France and I have felt that way for at least three decades. Finally coming to fruition next year, fingers crossed! Btw, you passed a Spar while you were walking but before you actually mentioned looking for the old Spar location. Haha

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 ปีที่แล้ว

I still don't understand how long you were there and what you and Noah (sp?) were doing, but I will probably pick that up as I catch up more in the vlog. I simply LOVE the room you are in, did the bed go up like a Murphy bed? I used to have one, in a San Francisco apt., in 1976! The good old days :) Love your videos!

    The stoney beaches in Nice and surrounding areas is to absorb much of the energy from the waves and prevent flooding as the promenade is pretty low.

The day I arrived in Nice, I was due to be on the Promenade for the fireworks, but I had jetlag so went to bed. It was the night to the Terrorist Attack. Nice shut down for 3 days. We walked the streets of Nice, all empty, everything was shut, and this was my first visit to Nice. Thankfully after three days and a special memorial service the Promenade three days later, the city came back to life. Nice is really the best city in France!

    Bonjour! Thank you for an excellent video! Nice (and the area around Montpellier) looks perfect. We are looking for a moderate summer climate area, with a plaza lifestyle, and near good healthcare (my wife has MS and is a cancer survivor). We walk, and ride, so public transportation is required. I am a retired American educator. We helped a new school open in Lviv, then spent 6 weeks in Krakow; we're in Tallinn for a month before heading back to Oregon. My wife and I hope to visit France after the Olympics. We plan to rent out our Portland condo and then travel throughout Europe, and perhaps help Ukraine rebuild after the war ends. There are several significant advantages to living in France: climate, healthcare, culture, and infrastructure. Merci!! Dean and Cindy

    Nice is so beautiful but it isn't Paris for sure. Love the video. Ditto on Cheryl's comment. You are an amazing storyteller.

      @JaySwanson  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! And yeah, I prefer Parisian living personally but Nice is definitely nice (pun thoroughly intended this time 😂)

    I've been to Nice and it's OK but it's not the sumptuous and exclusive James Bond hideaway that they make it out to be.

    • @JaySwanson
      @JaySwanson  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I wouldn't trust any Bond flick to represent any location accurately haha.
