One of the great pleasures of a roving retirement is frequently stumbling on some object, place, or turn of phrase that leads to some deeper understanding of the people and culture of a given region.
The Culture of Nice Lives (Lou Nissart Viéure)!
A Second Time Around In Nice
Once again, our roving retirement has us on the go. Next stop, the French Riviera. Specifically, Nice, a busy town of 350,000. We were here for about five days in March of this year, so it is our second visit in 2020.
Lockdown In France, Part Deux
For the past month, we have enjoyed living in Nice. Our time has been spent walking to and from French language school, usually stopping at the market on the way home.
What Is Paris Like Now?
The first stop on our 2nd excursion in France in 2020 was Paris. It had been a number of years since either of us had been there, so we figured it was perfect for our roving retirement exploration.
Getting Into France Now
Our roving retirement plan has always involved exploring France, Spain, Portugal and the rest of Europe. Obviously, that didn’t work for us this year but our plans hinged on getting back to France this year for our visas.
