\"Cineroman<\/p>\n

The weather may be iffy and the sea a little too cold for comfortable swimming but there’s still plenty of fun things to do on the French Riviera in Octobe<\/a>r.<\/p>\n

Nice<\/h1>\n

Cin\u00e9roman Festival<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Cinephiles shouldn’t miss this festival of movies derived from books. Held in the modern Gare du Sud cinema the first week of October, this festival is like a mini-Cannes. At least it aspires to be. There’s a red carpet, paparazzi and usually a star or two in attendance for at least one of the films. At the end, there’s an award for best picture. Unlike its counterpart in Cannes, it’s actually possible for monsieur-tout-le-monde <\/em>to get a ticket. See the website or book at the Gare du Sud cinema.<\/p>\n

European Short Film Festival<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Missed the Cin\u00e9roman festival? Catch the European Short Film Festival\u00a0 (‘Un Festival C’est Trop Court’) <\/em>where short films from independent filmmakers are showcased in small cinemas throughout Nice. Of course there’s a jury to decide on a prize on October 6, the closing day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

UTMB<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Would Nice be nice if there weren’t people racing up and down the Promenade des Anglais? Apparently not. October’s race is the UTMB trail run from October 3 to 6<\/strong>. The event will offer four distances, from 20km to 100km , taking in the Mercantour National Park, the hills behind Nice and finishing on–where else?–the Promenade des Anglais.<\/p>\n

Saint Reparata Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saint Reparata was martyred by the Romans and became the patron saint of Nice, honored in Nice’s Cath\u00e9drale Sainte R\u00e9parate. Her holy day is October 6 and her legacy will be celebrated with distinction. Here’s the program:<\/p>\n
