I just got back from Nice a few days ago.. hopefully the weather is better now than it was while I was there. I've always wondered where it would be better to stay in this lovely city so thanks for the pointers👍
Thank you for watching!
excellent video -- & thank you! Now I can show my relatives the neighborhood where we actually purchased 8 years ago! We have indeed found the Carre d'Or to be quite pleasant.
That is awesome! Happy to hear you found your neighborhood!
Nicely done, thank you
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Thank you for providing in depth content that is not typically produced, especially by the UA-camrs that spend 3 days in Nice and move on. We are planning to move to Nice in September, so we love this content. We’ve watched your videos going back to Liguria; you always make great videos.
We appreciate that! Thank you for watching! Congrats on your move to Nice.
Beautiful!!
Thank you for watching!
Really enjoyed this video 👍
Awesome, thank you!
love watching your channel. you create fantastic content. keep on going.
Thank you so much!
We loved this video on Carré d'Or ... please keep up the good work and we'll be especially interested in the places you find that we can afford 🙂 Hoping to see your "take" on available real estate in Quartier des Musiciens or La Libération neighborhoods. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and the encouragement! We hope to get to those neighborhoods shortly!
I think they did one already on Cuartier des Musiciens.
@@lindahouston9977 ... they say they plan to get to that soon.
Thank youo for your neighborhood videos. I plan to move to Nice in October and your videos help a lot. I will be renting
Thank you for watching and congrats on your move to Nice this fall. Have you decided on your neighborhood yet?
Yes, it would be good to see some rentals around the area.
@@happygoluckytravel I watched your video on the Musicians quarter. Love that Ara with the Bell Epoque/Haussmanian Buildings, I like the Porte area but don’t want to have to take the train all the time. Also, Carre Do’r is OK and the Jean Medecin area. I like a neighborhood feel not so much touristy.
Thank you for sharing real estate listings! I am thinking about retiring to Béziers, France eventually and love learning about the housing market.
Oh, wow that sounds great! We've never been to Béziers, what's it like? Thank you for watching!
Yummy $25USD pastries…might be more expensive that the Negresco..except it might go well with the kir Royale at the Negresco..my favorite place to stay..😊
Amazing video! This is very helpful. Hoping to sell our home in the DC area someday and move to Nice or surrounding areas. Out of curiosity, is Menton a more affordable alternative to Nice? And are towns across the the border in Italy like Ventimiglia or Bordighera worth considering?
Thank you for watching! Towns across the border in Italy are generally less expensive, but further from a good airport. Bordighera has the most potential of the two. Other than the old town, Ventimiglia isn't as charming, with a lot of day trippers shopping for less expensive food and alcohol. We only know Menton from day trips, we hope to learn more about it!
Nice is nice.
so says Rick Steves...😊
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful, but can you show more vids in a moderate income area, or back away from the downtown into some greenery? Thanks!
Thank you for watching, great suggestions!
Nice is sandwiched between St Laurent du Var on the West and Villefranche sur Mer to the right. It then stretches all the way back to the mountains. Though there are some sheltered parts that give the illusion of greenery it is mostly densly urban. If you want real countryside then you will need to go outside of Nice itself.

The apartments are lovely, but price point is rather high for modest retirement incomes! I guess I should start in less costly area and just visit Nice. Any other videos on more affordable neighborhoods?
Thank you for watching and for the tip to cover more affordable neighborhoods.
Oublier le sud trop chère viser plutôt des régions plus abordables le Pays Basque ,la Dordogne, la Bretagne..
@@PascalDupont-ft7hdOui Monsieur, merci beaucoup! I have heard of some of those regions also. Have you thoughts on Toulon? (I heard of from IL correspondent).
@@jodiehebert8285bonjour, désolé je ne connais pas Toulon mais partez du principe que les régions du sud ( soleil)sont relativement chères chercher aussi du côté de Annecy,Pau, Dax, lourdes, où pourquoi pas les Vosges.
Looks lovely. I'm ready to move. I just need to find a sugar momma to buy me one of these apartments. Can you do a video on that? In the mean time, I'm going to start working out.
Thank you for watching and your fabulous sense of humor!
Yes, I’m with you!! Definitely need a rich sugar Daddy for living in Nice. The guy on beach exercising in the striped swim briefs was something to behold! 😂❤❤❤
The 2nd Appartment looks fine as is. What else should be updated?
Thank you for watching. There was a small room that had not been renovated, which could have been a great utility room.
Great apartments. I wish you had shown some rentals.
Thank you for watching and for the tip to show rentals!
Great video, i'm from Alexandria, Egypt and visited Nice many times, it reminds me of how Alexandria was when i was growing up in the 80's before the overpopulation, garbage and ugly buildings went up...i will be retiring in Nice, as the Meditteranean is in my blood..would love to if you guys can post good websites for us to see real estate there
Thank you for watching. It's always sad when our hometown changes so much, happy to hear that Nice reminds you of good times!
Such a shame when they put modern finishes in historic buildings 😢
You confirmed that Nice is too expensive for us - we never spent that much in the US!
Thank you for watching!
Cheaper than Vancouver! 🤣
Great video you guys did a great job but France is still unaffordable for a normal human being $100.000 for 100 Square foot average in the best part of Nice to live , I messed up 10 year’s ago
And should have bought a place then ,
Again you guys do a great job one of the best travel and relocation UA-cam channels
Fair enough! Thank you for watching, we appreciate your encouragement!
'SPOIL YOURSELF!' ❤️ For those practicing Indulgence Therapy... nowhere is more supportive of your journey than the Carré d'Or. Oh Yeah, PHILIPPE TAYAC is exquisite and makes me feel RICH 🤑
Thank you for watching!
Prefer modern apartments.
Isn’t Nice the most polluted(air) city in France? Poor air quality leads to an early death. Edit: If you have the weather app on your phone add Nice to it. You will see the air quality is deteriorating.
Tell us more what causes this? Thank you for raising -- Healthy environment important criteria!
@@happygoluckytravel I just moved to Marmande France on the first of May. My first choice was Nice! I started following the weather conditions and for weeks I noticed the air quality was deteriorating. After reading articles online, I decided against moving there. Below is a brief excerpt from one of the articles.
This is from an article written by Emilie King:
Nice, a city known for its beaches and elegant Mediterranean allure has just acquired another less desirable accolade as the town in France with the worst air quality,according to a new study that measured air quality in towns over the period of the last year.
The high pollution levels are down to a number of local factors: the city is built on a narrow densely-populated coastal strip which has a lot of traffic and long sunny spells.
These pollution peaks are due to high amounts of ozone gas because of the sun, or due to higher pollutants released by industrial activity and road traffic.
Air pollution is believed to be the main cause of some 48,000 deaths each year in France, with over 47 million French people exposed to a level of air pollution particles that is considered to be unsafe by the WHO.
It is actually the opposite. in the last four years the air quality has dramatically improved. The air quality improved during the pandemic, but to the officials surprise, has continued to stay lower, and lower even in 2023 than 2020, the year of the shutdown. The improvement trend has aligned with the deployment of the second tram line and the conversion of streets to reduce traffic. The other grande villes (large cities) in France are worse, led by Paris, Lille, Lyon, Marseilles and others. There are smaller and more remote areas with better air quality, but there are the tradeoffs. The air quality in 2018 was an unusual year, with the wildfires and the prevailing winds that summer. Of course, it could occur again, but it has not. You can look up the recent data at INSEE and IQAir.
This sounds unlikely. Nice has spent billions developing an excellent public transport system. The two tram lines carry a huge amount of traffic. Hardly any more taxis idling at the airport as the tram goes from the airport to the city centre. They also deleted nearly all the bus lanes, and the remaining buses are all going 100% electric (this is mostly done already). There are some massive parks being built, not just the famous one replacing the Acropolis but for instance next to the Nikaia statium and one is going to be in the ancient abbatoir district. With two young children I am very sensitive to this subject but see no problem with the air quality here.
