Soon there would be a new tramway in Nice. It is all a debate there.
First of all, where the line should be implemented? On the famous Promenade des Anglais or in the centre.
Some are in favour …
According to MP and mayor of the city, Christian Estrosi, the second tramline of the city should cross the Promenade des Anglais, the city will prosper and it is a way to struggle against pollution. The works will last only six months; it won’t be a nuisance for the residents. This would also be an embellish method of the Prom’. The Prom will be cleaner, greener, and calmer.

Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse were competing to be capital of culture 2013…and the winner is Marseille chosen unanimously by the jury. Marseille will represent its region PACA but also France at the European level.
The honours are to be shared with the Slovakian town of Košice.
The Mayor of Marseille, Jean-Claude Gaudin, was pleased by the success of the Marseille Provence 2013 project, which involves 130 communes from nine urban communities gathering together over 2.2 million inhabitants.
Where does the capital of culture concept come from?
This is thanks to Melina Mercouri who was the Greek Minister of Culture in 1985. Her aim was to make all Europeans meet and share together. So, each year Europeans focus on two cities who have the opportunity and the visibility required to show their culture, their heritage.
Why this nomination should be granted to Marseille? This is time for Marseille to renew its image of a dirty poor city!
It would have been another good opportunity to buy a property in Nice ! Unfortunately, Nice lost the Olympic Games for 2018. Indeed 4 French cities were candidates to represent France in the global competition for Olympic Games in 2018. Annecy has been choosen yesterday.

As a housing purchase is a decision that must be worth considering, some developers are getting involved in rent-to-buy schemes to sell more easily their housings. But how works such an agreement?
It’s easy to understand: the rent-to-buy schemes simply give you the opportunity to “try” the housing by renting it during a given period of time, with the possibility to buy it if you are convinced! In other words, you can buy the house in which you’re living in on any date from the moment you began to rent it. Generally, this period is inclusive of six months to three years from the date you began to rent the housing. You also have the option to buy it after a period of time that is fixed since the beginning of the rental. But at the end of this period of time, it’s for you to decide, you’re free to say yes or no; indeed, you have not the obligation to buy the housing at the end of the agreed period.
