I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, have lived in Zurich for many years. There, I missed the proximity to the sea. Nice is for me, a way of returning to my roots, without having to go so far. Perhaps it is my French version of Miami Beach plus rich art history, beautiful weather, great architecture, great food.
I visited Nice first in 2000, returned in 2005 and then in 2010 to look for an apartment. Many of the apartments were renovated and chopped up older buildings, loft beds inserted which created rooms with low ceilings. When I entered this apartment, I breathed a deep sigh of relief, and fell instantly in love. The ceilings are high, the windows are tall and the location is great!
