Fountaine du Soleil
by SeaBreezeUSA
The center of Nice is from the big fountain, Fountaine du Soleil, across the Place Massena, ringed by bright pastel buildings, and up the Avenue Jean Médecin. Continuing beneath the railway overpass beside the train station, Ave Jean Médecin becomes Ave Malaussena. The Rue de France pedestrian shopping street runs from the end of the Place Massena, roughly parallel to the seaside. This area is full of shops, including some exclusive clothing boutiques, and restaurants and cafés with outdoor terraces - a great place to sit and watch the world go by, while you eat or drink.

Try Florent Pagny's "Chanter" Try Calogero's soaring anthem En Apesanteur (weightless) . Yann Tiersen's Fabuleux Destinee d' Amelie Poulin inspirational soundscapes. Pauline Croze, a voice that for a while made me give up listening to anything else.

The musical Roi de Soleil" - brilliant songs to last a lifetime, discover Christophe Mae and Emanuelle Moire with their own albums. Christophe Willem, geek-style with a voice like few others.
The Antilles-scene offers the sinuous voice and songs of Perle Lama and the outstanding find Soha rarely off my cd player
The fearless hiphop satire of Michael Youn's Fatal Bazooka hits number one with "Parle a ma main" feat Yelle. Hilarious
Revival: the towering giant of French pop Michael Polnareff with Goodbye Marylou, a song that hits falsetto notes you never knew existed. What a man.
Thinking
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Now I could make out both smart hotels, and the numerous health-resort visitors idly walking on English quay. It was pleasant to feel myself as an element of this carefree world in one of the most luxurious world resorts.
Once the Sochi Riviera was the top of our dreams, and now its original - the French Riviera has appeared within reach. It was possible to be convinced of it on Russian dialect which was heard from everywhere. Well, not only I decided to visit Nice that year.
Finding a perfume
by Muscovite
It would help if you could copy and post everything that was written on the bottle.
Then you will know that it is maybe made – or was, they tend to keep up with the progress – in one of the three perfume factories, Molinar, Fragonar or Gallimar. They have Internet sites and, I think, you can order a delivery service. In all probability it will be Molinar, they do have their own outlet next to the Promenade.
Chances are, however, your friend bought her perfume in one of the souvenir shops in the Old City, they are not bad at all and much cheaper. Then, indeed, you can count only on someone living in Nice to find it. From 10 euro in a souvenir shop to 50 - 100 at the factory with a name
