Nice is candidate to welcome the Olympic Games in 2018. Indeed, 3 cities in France present their candidature to the winter Olympic Games in 2018. In March 2009, France will decide between the 3 cities which one will represent France for organising the Olympic Games in 2018. At the first glance, choosing Nice to welcome the Olympic Games in 2018 can be tricky. But, there are many advantages to choose Nice to welcome the Olympic Games in 2018.

First, sometimes it snows in Nice (see pic) !! Secondly, the Nice airport is the second airport in France after Paris. So, Nice can welcome thousand and thousand people per day. Thirdly choosing Nice to welcome the Olympic Games in 2018 is a right idea, given the fact there’s already a lot of hotels between Monaco and Cannes and many restaurants, congress rooms and sports equipment. Then there is an easy access from Nice to the mountains  (less than 1h30 driving).  The Southern Alps can help Nice to welcome the Olympic Games in 2018. Do you think it could be a good idea ?

French Riviera is known worldwide thanks to its landscapes and its history. Do you know that French Riviera is also well known because it inspire artists.

On the French Riviera a new place dedicated to the artistic creation will open within 2 years. Indeed, the famous designer Jean Nouvel bought  an old fort in Nice. It’s located on a wonderdul hill in Nice, called Mont Boron. The famous designer Jean Nouvel already has a workshop closed to Paris but he wanted to find a new place on the French Riviera where the artistic creation is welcomed. Jean Nouvel’s workshop in Nice will be opened to other artists and some artistic events will take place there. That’s a great opportunity for artists and also for people who want to invest on the French Riviera.

Indeed, French Rivieria and artistic creation have been linked for many years. The MAMAC museum in Nice, the Maeght fundation or the Villa Noailles are places totally dedicated to art and artists.
