Bonjour! I'm Jeanne Oliver, author of the book Nice Uncovered: Walks Through the Secret Heart of a Historic City. I’ve been living in Nice for several decades and wrote about the French Riviera for onely Planet and Frommer's guidebooks. Nothing gives me more pleasure than introducing visitors to my region which is why I became a tour guide. I'm proud to have been featured as the Nice guide in the recent Channel 4 documentary: Sandi Toksvig's Great Riviera Rail Trip. I’ve created a practical guide to the region (frenchrivieratraveller.com) and a guide to my beloved beaches (riviera-beaches.com). But I’m most passionate about digging up quirky facts and absorbing stories that illuminate my adopted home town, Nice. Its tangled history and unique blend of Italian and French culture never ceases to delight me. I hope it will delight you as well when I lead you through my favorite parts of the city.
