Nice, France: Where Wi-Fi Meets Wine and Wi-Fi

so i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 11.26 degrees, feels like 9.49. not exactly tropical, but hey, that's what scarves are for. the air's got this...crisp edge, like someone just opened the fridge door. pressure's 1012, humidity's 40. feels like the city's holding its breath, waiting for something. maybe the next espresso shot. or the next wave. or the next weird local rumor. if you get bored, marseille is just a short train ride away. someone told me their street art scene is...intense. like, literally painted on buildings intense. i heard that the best croissants are hidden behind a tiny door near the old port. don't ask me which one, i just know someone whispered it to me over a too-strong espresso.

*here's the deal:

*gear list: one good camera, one better attitude, one very sturdy pair of walking shoes.
*pro-tip: the best views are always from the top of the hill, not the top of the guidebook.
*pro-tip: learn to say 'un café, s'il vous plaît' before you try to order a double shot.

random local gossip:

the guy who runs the tiny bookstore near the cathedral? he's convinced the ghost of a 19th-century sailor haunts the attic.
someone told me that if you stand on the pebble beach at sunset and whisper 'nice' three times, you get free gelato. (i tried it. didn't get free gelato. but i did get a weird look from a lifeguard. worth it?)

where to actually eat (according to a drunk local):

tripadvisor link - because sometimes the internet knows best, even when you're drunk.
yelp link - for when you need to know if that tiny place actually serves decent pasta.
local board - for the real, unfiltered opinions.

*weather update: it's...there. 11.26 degrees. feels like 9.49. pressure 1012, humidity 40. sea level 1012, ground level 984. basically, it's not raining, but it's not exactly sunbathing weather either. pack layers.

final thought: nice is nice. it's got the sea, the sun (sometimes), the hills, and enough cafes to make a barista weep. it's not perfect, but it's got this...vibe. a messy, human vibe. go find your own weird corner of it.
