Nice Jazz Festival Schedule Announced

French Riviera Travel News Posted on March 31, 2009 by JeanneMarch 31, 2009

Jazz lovers, listen up! The line-up for the Nice Jazz Festival 2009 has just been announced. You’ll be pleased to know that the Nice Jazz Festival will be concentrating on–get this!–jazz this year. It has not always been the case but the ‘return to roots’ trend that began last year will apparently continue. The festival will still be in Nice‘s Cimiez (despite certain rumblings about changing the locale because of noise complaints) and will run from July 18 to July 25. So, without further ado, here is the schedule: Saturday 18 July : Brad Mehldau Trio, Raul Midon, Joshua Redman Trio, Tracy Chapman, Alain Clark Sunday 19 July: Aldo Romano “Just Jazz”, Lucky Peterson, Nneka, Keziah Jones, Yodelice Monday 20 July: Christian Vander Quartet, Joe Bonamassa, Susan Tedeschi, B.B. King, Madeleine Peyroux Tuesday 21 July: Keith Emerson Band, Magma, Joe Jackson, Priscilla Ahn, + an artist to be announced Wednesday 22 July: McCoy Tyner Quartet with Bill Frisell, Lisa Ekdahl, Carla Bley Big Band, James Taylor, Jake Shimabukuro Thursday 23 July: The Derek Trucks Band, Maxime Le Forestier, Richard Galliano Quartet, Julien Doré, Gabriella Cilmi Friday 24 July: Melody Gardot, Raphael Saadiq, Chick Corea & Gary Burton, Youssou’N Dour, Molly Johnson Saturday 25 July: Bozilo, Sonny Rollins, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Charles Lloyd New Quartet, Gagnant du tremplin off, + an artist to be announced Tickets are on sale from Wednesday April 1 and prices run from €29 to €49 with a supplement of €2 for buying on site.

Nice Nixxed for Olympics 2018

French Riviera Travel News Posted on March 18, 2009 by JeanneMarch 18, 2009

Despite the posters, demonstrations, signs and grafitti, Nice lost its bid to host the winter Olympics in 2018 in favor of Annecy. It was a huge disappointment for Mayor Christian Estrosi who has vowed to press for Nice as the site of the summer Olympics in 2024. The last time that France hosted the Olympics was 1992 in Albertville. … Continue reading →

Nice Carnaval 2009 Kicks Off

French Riviera Travel News Posted on February 13, 2009 by JeanneMarch 1, 2009

It’s that time of year, again; the Nice Carnival.  The bleachers are up on the Prom; tour buses are filing into town and locals are bracing themselves for the annual traffic meltdown. Despite the few residents actually attend the Nice Carnival, everyone has an opinion about it. The first opinion is that it’s “trop cher” which means that locals have to actually pay for it. It didn’t used to be that way! It used to be open to everyone! Well, that was before my time but certainly  after Garibaldi’s era. Anyway. You don’t have to pay for it anymore. Now the  Nice carnival parade is free every day except the first and last days. Chouette?  You do still have to pay for the Bataille des Fleurs but, IMO, it’s well worth it. (See photos of the Nice Carnival (Carnaval, in French). Here is the program for Nice Carnaval 2009: Saturday February 14 14h30 Battle of the Flowers 21h – Corso Sunday February 15 14h30 – Corso Tuesday, February 17 21h00 – Corso Wednesday, February 18 14h30 – Battle of the Flowers Saturday February 21 14h30 – Battle of the Flowers 21h00 – Corso Sunday February 22 14h30 – Corso Tuesday, February 24 21h00 – Corso Wednesday, February 25 14h30 – Battle of the Flowers Saturday, February 28 14h30 – Battle of the Flowers 21h00 – Corso Sunday, March 1 14.30 Corso 21.00 Burning of the King and fireworks … Continue reading →
