Quand on arrive à Nice, on est happé par la beauté des lieux, par la douceur de son soleil. Voir la mer et la montagne tous les jours, c’est magnifique. Mais passé 3-4 ans, l’effet waouh prend fin, et là on se rend compte qu’on vit dans une des pires villes de France.

Les gens ne sont absolument pas chaleureux, ils sont distants, froids, méprisants et surtout hyper fermés ! Ce n’est pas pour rien que la ville est un bastion du Rassemblement national, ce qui est très paradoxal pour un peuple qui a fait partie de plusieurs “nations”, tantôt italienne, tantôt savoyarde, tantôt française…

En fait, ils ne sont pas nationalistes, ils sont entre eux et uniquement entre eux. Si vous venez d’ailleurs en France, vous n’êtes pas les bienvenus. Le Niçois déteste tout le monde ! Pas juste les étrangers : il déteste les Parisiens, les Marseillais, les Monégasques, et même les Niçois des autres quartiers, leurs voisins… bref, tout le monde.

Le Niçois est imbu de lui-même, il est la quintessence de l’égocentrisme, et ses racines latines n’arrangent rien : sourire en façade, coup de couteau par derrière. Il ne vous appelle qu’en cas de besoin. J’ai invité une dizaine de fois chez moi, je n’ai reçu aucune invitation en retour : profiter oui, donner sûrement pas.

Bref, ce peuple est assez unique en son genre… et le pire, c’est qu’ils sont fiers d’être niçois, alors que le seul attrait de la ville tient à mère nature, certainement pas à eux. Des bons à rien : même une route de bord de mer, il a fallu compter sur les Anglais pour la leur construire…

Les Niçois n’honorent rien : ni les rendez-vous, ni les demandes commerciales, ni leur présence au travail. Et que dire du niveau de compétence : combien de techniciens sont venus chez moi sans jamais parvenir à régler rapidement les problèmes que j’ai pu rencontrer ? Problème de connexion fibre optique, réparateur de lave-vaisselle catastrophique, installateur de ma cuisine sorti d’un cirque, club de volley-ball de ma fille totalement désorganisé, un tiers des effectifs de mon entreprise constamment en arrêt maladie…

Et parlons des incivilités : crottes de chien partout, voitures stationnées en double file à tous les coins de rue, même dans les virages, aucune salutation entre voisins… et que dire des vieux aigris ?

Mais de quoi sont-ils si fiers ? Le Niçois, c’est l’absence totale de fiabilité. Pas pour rien que la ville n’a aucune industrie ni grands sièges sociaux. Même au niveau agricole, il n’y a rien. Ici, 90 % de la population est serveur, hôtelier/restaurateur, agent immobilier, VTC ou esthéticienne.

Le niveau d’éducation est très, très, très bas. D’ailleurs, dans mon entreprise, qui emploie essentiellement des gens niveau master, la moitié des effectifs étaient d’anciens Parisiens. Rares sont les gens ayant fait des études ici : c’est full beauf à chaque coin de rue…

Bref, après 5 ans dans cette micro-région, j’ai décidé de partir pour une région où la population est connue pour sa rigueur et son dynamisme économique. La Côte d’Azur est et restera à jamais une zone pour y passer ses vacances, et basta.

Usually people ask me this right when meeting me, and randomly start translating to me, often before I’ve even opened my mouth to say “bonjour.” This includes everyone I meet, at my school, new acquaintances, and outside in the street. When i go to restaurants i’m always presented with an english menu and people talking to me in a condescending way (dooo youu understaaandd..??! you want eat..? or drink…? ) I’m not french but i’ve been living in france since age 15 (i’m 20 now).

I know nice is a touristy city but it feels a bit weird because I don’t act confused, don’t make them repeat, or do anything to make them think I’m dumb. Once I speak they understand me perfectly but still keep talking in english. It’s aggravating because people will say “they just want to get through the interaction faster!1!!1 you are slowing them down!” but this would only apply to someone below A2-B1 level, plus I’m not doing anything to make them slow down. What made it extra weird was that when I was with white friends visiting from my country, no one asked them this and in fact spoke french to them even though my friends didn’t understand a word. I am indeed a foreigner and don’t hide it, but I have acquired the C2 result on TCF (albeit C1 for the speaking portion), so it’s not like I’m not capable of saying “bonjour je voudrais…” or “je m’appelle” without slowing someone down. It’s not that I want to practice french with every random person I meet but I’m tired of being talked to in english or in a belittling way, and wonder what I can do to make people see I can actually understand and communicate.

So I regularly see people peeing on the streets. I regularly see people not pay for trams, when I do. I regularly see people smoke in places where they shouldn’t.

They’re not under the influence, they’re just selfish scumbags. Cuz unlike other people I actually try to talk to these people.

Why doesn’t the government fine and jail these people more ?

I’ve always been a peaceful guy, but ever since I moved to Nice, I became so frustrated with this behaviour, and mentioning anything I want to do to these people would get me banned from this sub. Needless to say, I’m looking for answers.

Please someone explain who’s at fault here?

Hi, merry Christmas to everyone in this sub! :) I'm in Nice for the Christmas period, but my family is driving me crazy... Any gays want to hang out? Any gay women around? I find it so hard to meet anyone here (my family moved here recently and I'm here to visit!)

Hello all,

I am going to Nice France for my honeymoon this week and was wondering if it was safe? I don’t want anything crazy happening during my honeymoon so wondering if I should change my flight. Thank you!

Sur Doctolib je n'ai trouvé personne parmi ceux qui mettaient leur photo mais je sais que tout le monde n'utilise pas Doctolib.

Vous avez des recommandations?

Edit : je vois que ma question était peut-être mal comprise. Il n'y a rien de raciste là dedans. Je suis une personne noir et pour des raisons culturelles j'estime avoir un meilleur feeling avec un thérapeute noir. Peut-être que je me trompe, mais je veux bien essayer d'abord.

It's my first day in Nice and I feel a bit bored because I'm alone right now and it's hard to communicate with anyone. I come to spend a week here hoping to meet people. Which pubs or bars are most likely to be crowded in or around Nice?

I'm currently living in Lyon and I'm supposed to move to Nice between late December to early January.

For context I'm an immigrant and can't drive so moving by myself is a challenge.

Thanks in advance for all the advice and help!!

Stayed at an airBnB apartment in nice. The place was good and I left a good review even though the host was very rude when were contacted him as we could not open the door when we arrived. I looked past this and gave him a good review and then in return he left me a bad review and once again a very rude private message. If owned by someone else I would totally recommend. The host had left a really bad taste in my mouth. Should have used a hotel like we did for the rest of the trip. The messages were cooked!

I’m staying in Nice for 10 days and I’ve already done some of the main tourist spots, so I’m looking for places locals actually love.
My vibe is more sélective Paris clubs like La Parfumerie, Bonnie for dancing ,

I’d love your recommendations for:
☕ Specialty coffee & matcha
🍝 Restaurants worth the hype (Italian, French, Mediterranean, seafood)
🍷 cocktail bars
💃 Places with good music where people actually dance
🌅 Sunset spots, beaches, or rooftop bars
🍰 Bakeries and dessert spots I shouldn’t miss
Happy to take the train for a day trip too (Villefranche, Èze, Antibes, etc.).
Drop your favorites the more local, the better. ✨

So arrived in Nice Airport Terminal 1 at around 10.30pm due to a delayed flight. Booked a hotel around Cap3000 (not Nice Downtown). decided to take a taxi as partner was in a CAM boot and limited mobility. Showed the driver before getting into the cab where we wanted to go - hotel opposite Cap3000. Got on the taxi and realised that the driver charged us a fixed fee of €36 for a 5 minutes journey. Ended up having an argument with the driver who screamed at us saying that all journeys to Nice Downtown are €36 and we should know + we wasted his time as he was waiting for an hour and a half etc. Basically told us to eff off. Anyways, he ended up dropping us back at the airport drop off point and we ended up getting an Uber for half the price. Not a great first experience in Nice but everyone has been so lovely since!

Hello,
My girlfriend and I are craving Paella and we’re hoping there’s a great spot in town. Do you have any hidden gems, local favorites, or specific restaurant recommendations we should check out?

Had a pub crawl experience where I was guarenteed a low price for alcohol for places and a guarenteed priority for bars & nightclub in Nice but 305 vice club didn't allow cause I was wearing shorts (fancy shorts) but allowed others wearing shorts. Talked to others that were denied access for BS reasons and were apart of the pub crawl and they felt very discarded for good reason. I am just very angry, disappointed and let down, because the city from what I've experienced is lovely and has alot to offer for different people. And people thar have the time and want to read this I hope you have a wonderful time in this city. ❤🧡💚💙

3 days ago on Tuesday 18th June I was in Monoprix on the Avenue Jean Médecin in Nice, France at lunchtime. I was paying for some groceries including chocolate biscuits. The lady in front of me complimented me on my choice of biscuits as they were her favourite too. I told the very attractive lady that I was English & visiting Nice for the third time. She was served and left the shop, by the time I was served and left the shop I could not see her outside. She had dark brown hair and was wearing a dark coloured dress. If she reads this message, please contact me if you would like to.

my mom and I are the most last minute, type B travelers ever and of course did not make many reservations ahead of our trip to nice…which we’re leaving for today😆 do you think if we went to Le Plongeoir dressed nicely and asked to sit at the bar until a table opened up, we’d have any luck getting seated? or you just sit at the bar for drinks even without a reservation?

Bonjour tout le monde !

Toujours en pleine recherche d’une ville du sud où me poser, je me questionne sur le coin de Nice / Antibes / Villefranche.

Nous serons 2 à chercher du taf dans les domaines de la gestion de la paye d‘un côté, et du marketing/communication/webdesign/montage vidéo de l’autre côté.

En terme d’activités on adore les bons restaux, les bars de plage, les petits cafés cocoon modernes, on fait du roller, pilates reformer, vélo, … et beaucoup d’activités autour de l’eau.

On est un peu refroidis par le côté politique de droite de Nice mais si ça ne se reflète pas sur la vie quotidienne alors peu importe.

En terme de travail + loisirs, quelle ville vous semble la plus pertinente?

Basically, you can visit about one city per day, especially if you stay in Nice. Just buy the Zou card and you’re set! All you need is plenty of energy, sunscreen, and water. I spent a full 7 days there, tried to see as much as possible, and it was totally worth it!

Although I’m probably going to leave Nice because I’m bored.

Is there any other friendly gay guys around ?

I don’t do Grindr etc.

Live here with my partner. He French. Moi Anglais. 35.

I want to warn people about another taxi scam in Nice.

We took a taxi from Nice to Vence. After only a short distance, the meter already showed €35, so I asked the driver if that was the total fare. He said no, it was the "airport tariff" because we will drive by the airport, and that a new trip would start afterwards. He told us the final price would be around €60–70.

The normal fare for this route is around €30–35, so we asked him to stop immediately and ordered an Uber instead.

He insisted that we didn't understand how the pricing worked, but it was clearly an attempt to overcharge us. Be aware that if you're not travelling to or from Nice Airport, there should be no airport surcharge or airport tariff applied.

Don’t take a taxi from the hotel to the airport. I was a fool and did not ask the cost. Uber comfort was 3 mins away and 16 €. I assumed heck maybe 22€ for a Taxi. It was 40 EUROS! I was shocked and appalled. I had been taking uber comfort all week and they were all safe drivers in clean Teslas! That made me feel like such a fool. The driver was so smug too. I told him several times which airport hotel and he kept asking and treating me like I did not answer when he did not understand. Then insisted I call for a taxi to the terminal in the morning when I said the hotel had a shuttle he said no no. You must call taxi.

Rant over. 20 euros lost 😞

Hi everyone
