Nice, France | PORT Lympia ULTIMATE Guide to Neighborhoods 🇫🇷 Ep.03 | Retire to French Riviera?

[@elliswendy3741]

Ignore their nasty comments about the music! They don’t get the vibe of what you are showing us! Keep up the fabulous videos and the ultra FABULOUS music. I will be moving to either France or Nice in the near future! Your videos are helping me tremendously! Wendy

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for your encouragement! Congratulations on your decision to move to Nice or France. Where else are you considering in France?

[@jeffinabnit9819]

The Port area looks like a fun place to live. Glad to see you back in Nice for more great content!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching!

[@annegormely6003]

The perfect series for us! We are planning to move to Nice next year and will be looking at neighborhoods in September. Looking forward to all your episodes!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Congratulations on your plans to move to Nice! Thank you for watching!

[@theundeadforever3300]

Don't go to Les Moulins whatever you do

[@jean-lucfrotey7604]

Faite vite les places deviennent rares , Nice est petite et a la vitesse ou les anglosaxons viennes passé leurs retraite la bas ça va bientôt saturer .

[@hhood2509]

Love this series! Love that you give tour the neighborhood, show apartments and list the pros /cons. Unique and I love it! It would be fabulous to see more! ❤

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and for your encouragement!!!

[@keithcooley52]

We loved it as usual! It is so good to see each different area of town. Again, hoping you'll share apartments (maybe even rentals) in both Jean Médecin and Liberation neighborhoods. À bientôt!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching. We love exploring Nice neighborhoods and look forward to bringing Liberation in the fall! We appreciate the encouragement and will keep rentals in mind.

[@ytkealoha]

based on your videos we are headed to Nice xmas/new years for a month....... thanks, well produced!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Have a fantastic time in Nice over the holidays!

[@elliswendy3741]

I also appreciate the fact that you tell us the prices for renting! Most videos don’t! I will not be purchasing a place, so try to always have the rent prices. Wendy

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for the advice, we appreciate it!

[@amandaelligott446]

Without a doubt my favourite area of Nice.Feel so fortunate to own an apartment in this amazing area.Great blog,thank you.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and very jealous you already have your apartment in this lovely district!

[@ConnorTrading]

Stayed in Port Lympia myself for a while and I love it, such a convenient place to be. The ONLY CON I can think of is when the large ships arrive from corsica etc and what feels like hundreds of cars suddenly drive into the streets, you get some noise and smells from exhaust fumes!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Good point! Thank you for watching!

[@jordanchang8803]

Good job on all ur Nice clips

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching!

[@laurielinden1689]

My favorite neighborhood. Thanks.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching!

[@kenmatthews46]

Great video.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching!

[@christyqabazard9158]

Thank you for another fabulous video! We love the Port area. There's a wonderful Persian restaurant there called Safran - highly recommend! We'll be back in Beaulieu in Sept/Oct. Hope to run into you again!!❤

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thanks for the tip! How nice to hear about your return to Beaulieu in the fall. Such a gorgeous place -- enjoy!

[@FRanceSource]

Love Nice and have been there many times to return very soon.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching. Such a lovely place!

[@archiegoodwinjr]

I always welcome your informative videos. My primary concern about living in those places is what you do not say but have included in the video. If I lived there and had to hear other people's music (and not just your uncharacteristically intrusive soundtrack) I would have to keep the windows closed. I am used to living in densely packed neighborhoods (including Hong Kong) but always among respectful residents. I understand that some cultures like to share their music, especially during holidays. Since Nice is a favorite holiday destination noise could be a problem that I had not considered. Thank you for alerting me to that possibility. Bonne journee!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for always watching and sorry the music intruded on you this time.

[@madamlakwatsera5674]

Thanks

[@gulden4386]

Was just watching you enjoying the sandwich. Well, where I come from we say 'Afiyet Olsun!'....

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and the good wishes!

[@dawnroberts415]

Always enjoy watching your videos. How many months a year do you travel? I assume you are both retired. My husband and I are thinking about doing the same thing.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching! We're retired and full-time travelers. We've been on the road for three and a half years now. If we were to do a video on full-time travel, what questions would you want answered to help you decide?

[@DeborahMaufer]

Just found your channel, and we're loving the Nice videos as we're contemplating moving there. Would love it if you would include dog info in future videos, as that's a make-or-break issue for us. For example, do the buildings/apartments that you show allow dogs? Do the nearby parks allow dogs? Do the restaurants & shops that you recommend allow dogs? Thanks for considering this, and looking forward to more Nice videos! 😊🌴

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and congratulations on your decision to maybe move to Nice! In general, Nice is very dog friendly. They are welcome almost everywhere. Thank you for the tip to include pet information in future videos!

[@DeborahMaufer]

@@happygoluckytravel We've heard that Paris is very dog-friendly, but investigating it ourselves we discovered that they're not allowed in most parks! Deal breaker for sure if the only green space around is unavailable to your dog. Thanks for your videos - keep 'em coming!

[@happygoluckytravel]

That's so disappointing about Paris. We'll add pet information to new videos. All the best!

[@elliswendy3741]

I LOVE the music!!!! So much so, I tried to look up the group who is singing! Please tell me the name of the group and title of the song playing! Wendy from Tucson

[@happygoluckytravel]

The theme song for this video is Sugar Foot (remix) by Stony Murphy.

[@DerryckJackson]

Just found your channel. Love these neighbourhood and house showings! Will you do some renting options. Curious about rental pricing and availability. Merci.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching and the suggestions!

[@Jim_in_AR]

I would prefer hearing the ambient sounds instead of music, as it would give a better sense of what it's like there!

[@jml4774]

We loved this neighborhood. Can you list the places you mentioned for food (sandwiches especially.) Thanks!

[@happygoluckytravel]

So much good food! Le Traiteaur du Port, Chez Pipo, Lagache bakery, Le Panier Gourmand, Boucherie Le Bouf Tatoue.

[@PierooriginalItaly]

😉👍

[@lorraine6947]

I love the cover music and your video of course. Can you say the name/composer of the background music in your video?

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching! The theme song for this video is Sugar Foot (remix) by Stony Murphy.

[@dawnroberts415]

Oh wow! I would like to know how you manage that. My husband just got his dual citizenship for Italy but if you don't have that, aren't you only allowed to stay 3 months (in each country)? So you don't own anything in US? I assume you rent apartments rather than stay in hotels. Is Nice your home base? Your video inspired us to go to Nice this year. We actually made Antibes our base.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Hi, We're like your husband. Otherwise, it's three months total in the 29 countries of the Schengen zone. Many people work through this by going to non-Schengen countries like the UK or nearby to Europe places like Eastern Europe and Turkey. We usually rent an apartment and we're full-time travelers, so no home base. How do you like Antibes?

[@dawnroberts415]

@@happygoluckytravel Thanks for the tip! You're lucky you both have dual citizenship. We enjoyed Antibes. We spent a couple of nights in Nice, but I think I enjoyed Antibes a little more. I watched. your videos on Puglia several times because we plan to go their in June. I liked the way Convesano looked. Would you suggest that as a home base while touring Puglia? Just have to ask, where are you guys now? Also, how do you travel full time with carrying all your clothes for the different seasons? Do you use AirBnB to book your apartments? Thanks for sharing.

[@happygoluckytravel]

Hi! So happy you found Antibes and enjoyed it so much! How lucky that you're headed to Puglia next summer! Conversano is a nice base for the middle section of Puglia if you plan to have a car (make sure its small). You can reach Polignano/Monopoli easily and all the cute inland villages. Lecce/Otranto are too far south for a day trip from Conversano. We went to Matera from Conversano -- it was doable, but also a little far for the day. Since we mostly stay in Mediterranean countries, we manage clothing for different seasons with layers. And we wear the same clothes a lot! We prefer to find the places we stay from local agencies that specialize in monthly rentals. However, we do end up using Airbnb a lot, too. Happy travels!

[@elliswendy3741]

I would love to know the music from specifically Port Lympia! Wendy

[@happygoluckytravel]

[@jml4774]

And please give us the information for the monthly weekend flea market (we did not see it last winter when we were there...) Thanks!

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching! The antique market on the sidewalk of Quai de la Duane was on the first Sunday of the month when we were there.😀

[@davidjonathan2242]

What’s a reasonable monthly cost of living estimate for a single individual in Nice 2024 ?

[@happygoluckytravel]

Thank you for watching. No two data sources have the same figures for cost of living. The criteria and everybody's spending patterns can be so different. Nice isn't among the most affordable cities in the world, but it is more affordable than Paris.

[@judemansur2194]

Informative but music is distracting

[@duypham9370]

The background music is irritating
