Pickpockets - Nice Riquier

Already left Nice and reported the accident to the police.

My mom was pickpocketed at Nice Riquier on Friday heading to Cannes. 5 Romani/Roma-looking women were waiting inside the train while one of them was asking whether the train was going to Ventimiglia. When they received the confirmation that the train was going the other way, they left the train.

We realized my mom was pickpocketed when I had my mom’s wallet thrown at me before the door was closed. All cash gone, credit cards and a couple of minor IDs left in the wallet. Had a long conversation with my mom about not carrying a lot of cash around.

Paris to Nice train on 19 Sept still not showing up. Wait or book flights?

Hi all, hoping someone local or with SNCF experience can help.

I am travelling Paris to Nice on Saturday 19 September and there are still no trains showing on SNCF Connect for that date at all. I have set up the alert on the site but it just sits there with no timeline or any guarantee that trains will actually be added. I can see trains are available on all days before and after 19th but I have non-refundable hotel bookings and tours due to which I'm unable to move the dates.

I have been tracking this daily for the last two weeks with no change. I did find an older post where someone had the same issue and the trains eventually showed up around 3 months before their trip. The problem is I am now only about 2 months out, so I am not sure the same pattern will hold for me, and if I keep waiting the airfares will likely climb.

Right now the flight is more than double the price of the train, so I would much rather take the train if it is going to appear.

For those who know this route or SNCF release patterns: is it worth holding out a bit longer for the trains to be released, or should I just cut my losses and book the flight now before it gets even more expensive? Is a Saturday track maintenance thing likely to mean no trains at all that day, or do they usually get added late?

Any insight appreciated. Thanks!

Cherche fille pour faire semblant d'être mon amie

Salut

Je voudrais partir en vacances à Nice (la semaine du 6 juillet) avec mon copain mais ma famille veut pas que j'aie de copain et veut pas non plus que je parte seule.

Je vais donc mentir et dire que je pars avec une amie. J'aurais besoin d'une jeune femme la vingtaine qui veuille bien prendre quelques photos avec moi sur une plage niçoise / au restaurant (j'invite) et potentiellement une dans l'appartement où je vais rester.

Ca me sauverait !!

Je suis moi-même une jeune femme de 23 ans, je suis très sympa et sociable, qui sait peut-être qu'on deviendra amies !

Je peux envoyer plein de preuves si ça vous stresse de rencontrer une étrangère

Where is the best place to go swimming in/near Nice?

I have only been to the beach alongside the promenade/different quais in Nice and villefranche sur mer, i enjoyed both especially villefranche but now that it is touristy season now it is a hassle to go anywhere. everytime we go to the beach there we can’t find a place no matter what time it is because its so crowded. Also it is often a bit dirty because so many people have been there. Does anyone have a suggestion of where else to go that might be less crowded and more agréable during the touristy season?

England vs. Mexico World Cup

Is any bar or club going to be showing the upcoming England vs Mexico game in Nice/nearby? It’s a 2am kickoff and it seems like most bars close at 2am. I asked a server at Ma Nolan’s in Nice today who said the latest games they show are midnight kickoffs. Preferably I’d like to watch with other England fans but anywhere actually open will do. If anyone has any info on this, I’d be very grateful! Cheers

Childbirth in Nice

Hello all, I'm expecting a baby by the end of December, and I'm confused about the cost of delivery in Lenval, considering the cost of medical procedures, stay, and anything else. This is my first baby and I heard someone saying you have to pay for a few things, and some say it 0 Euros.

Can someone share their experience and cost for childbirth at Lenval.

We are an Indian couple working here, with Social security and Mutuelle.

Thank you in advance and have a great life ahead!

Selling my 4 Pitbull Concert Tickets

My friends and I got 4 tickets to the Pitbull show in Nice on the 12th of July. We got them right when they were released in October.

Since then I got a new job and they cannot give me the Monday off. Since it is a Sunday and we live in Munich I would have needed that day to attend. We decided to all go or no one.
This is why we would like to sell the tickets :)
All together or individually, we don’t really care.
One ticket was 81,50€, but we are open for a good deal as well 😁

Sadly the venue doesn’t support ticket swap, which is why I‘m looking for someone here.

Oh, and they are in the main standing area!

Contact me here or over my instagram @vallydnrt. :)

local more authentic recommendations in Nice for 3 days?

hi! i'm going to French Riveria for 3 days with my partner: Monday from midday, Tuesday, Wednesday, leaving Thursday midday, staying in Nice.

i have a rough idea of where i want to go for the short stay there. Monday exploring Nice, Tuesday going to Èze, Monaco and Menton, Wednesday Villefranche-sur-Mer, Thursday around the area we are staying at in Nice.

i've noticed when researching places, that a lot of them are closed Monday, which i didn't know prior. i want to make the most out of this trip since it's my first time and i am looking for more local authentic places (especially for food) if anyone could give me any recommendations please?

any advice or recommendations for the Monday would be really appreciated too, thanks!!

Recher apparte

Hola
Question pour les connaisseurs

Je cherche à déménager à Nice, or j'habite actuellement à plus de 5 h de la ville. De plus, je n'ai personne sur place qui puisse m'aider à visiter / héberger, etc.

Dans ce cas, vaut-il mieux prendre un p'tit Airbnb pour la semaine, le temps de faire des visites, ou bien ça vaut le coup de contacter un chasseur d'appartements?

Avec l'approche AIRBNB, j'ai peur que pendant 3-4 jours il n’y ait rien, et je vais un peu perdre du temps

Pour les chasseurs, c'est quoi un prix approximatif ? 1k -1.5K?

Long shot request

Hello from the U.S!

I have a small request if someone can help me out. My family and I were in Nice a few weeks ago, and we stopped at Café des Phoceens (6 Av. Max Gallo, 06300 Nice) for a quick lunch. My Stepmom has been talking about the pizza oil they had ever since we got back.

While it may not seem like a big deal, she doesn't usually get this excited about something so small. I want to try and order the same oil for her. Is it at all possible for someone to stop by and take a picture of the bottle? They had them just sitting on the table.

I do know that there are a ton of different oils out on the market, I'm just wanting to get her the same one that we had there. Thank you so much!

Anyone know what's up at NCE terminal 2 security? They've exploded 2 bags, and security is closed.

Just trying to figure out if this is normal procedure for abandoned bags and happens all the time when people accidentally get separated from their bags, or if there's actually something sinister up today.

Chinese zodiac says that today is an extremely inauspicious day, and the only "safe" thing to do today is take a bath: We missed our flight this morning because Google maps directions didn't account for a massive traffic jam. Also we read on the BA website that short haul baggage cutoff is 45 minutes, long haul is an hour. And we figured this flight was short, so we figured we were safe, but we missed the footnote that nice airport specifically is an hour.

We rebooked ourselves for an easyJet flight tonight, wrnt to a hotel to rest, and then on the walk back the the airport got stuck in a massive downpour.

Now we're checked in for the next flight, just waiting to go through security, but the gate is closed, a massive crowd had formed and then.... BOOM.

I don't believe in astrology, but oof. It's been a day.
