Nice ( Cote d'Azur ) Date Sheet:
I have been visiting Nice regularly over the last 18 months. I try to get down there reasonably reguarly just to see friends I have down there and sometimes to chase women. I have not had that much success down there as I have divided my time between my own activities and spending time with friends so I am no expert on game down there or really on the city. I have however had a couple of notable bangs with some very attractive women and have been lucky enough to have explored all the coast north of Nice up to San Remo. There are great towns on the route: Ville Franche Sur Mer,Monaco,Menton etc. However in this data sheet I shall concentrate on one place ( I can do Monaco etc. another time ). So let's concentrate first on the jewel in the crown of French cities,the spectacular,Nice.
Nice
Introduction:
Nice is a stunning city spread out along the northern shore of the Mediterranean sea. Stand on a roof top terrace,champagne in hand and turn your head one way and you will see green forested hills rise up out of the suburbs dotted with the mansions of the rich and famous. Beyond that on the horizon loom the snow capped mountains of the French Alps. Turn your head the other way and you will see the shimmering azure blues of the Mediterranean. You can see why for over 150 years the great and the good from Anton Chekov through to Keith Richards have been coming here to unwind or party. It's an easy place to fall in love with.
Downtown Nice:
[attachment=5345]
Geographical layout:
It's frontal show piece is the palm tree lined Promenade De Anglais which on one side has the beach and pedestrianised walking area and on the other side of the road the casinos,hotels,parks,cafes etc. This is the place to be. For us the travellers the area that we should be concentrating on is the old town and that end of the beach. That is where the tourist action is and hence the best places for day game/night game. So you want to be up by the Jardin de l'Armente which is a park with an outdoor venue in it. To the front of that you have the beach and behind it is the pedestrianised area of the town and the shopping area. I rarely need to leave this area.
Before I continue:
When I travel abroad I am happy to stay in hostels or cheap hotels. I like the rough backwaters of places like Belarus or Kyrgyzstan and I usually work to a mediocre budget. Nice however is the only place in the world where I don't do that. The Cote d'Azur is a place of money,it's quite unreal how much there is. You see school kids waiting for the bus with their text books in 700 Euro Louis Vuitton totes,Ferraris drive along the promenade driven by handsome Italian playboys with incredibly hot women at their side,super rich Russians fly in on private jets from Moscow with their friends to party at their villas on the weekend. It's a land of make believe so utterly different from the lives most of us lead. Therefore when you are in Nice, or the Cote d'Azur in general,you have a choice. You can watch those guys drive past you and think to yourself how one day you would love to lead that lifestyle. Or you can join them and take part in a charade for a few days by staying in nice hotels and dining out in nice places. That is what I do,you can make your own decisions.
Getting There:
Flights: Nice airport has international flights to the US and Canada. Cheapest option for Brits is flying in from London Gatwick with Easyjet on the morning flight which gets in at about ten am local time. It does mean an early start though. If you book early you can get down there for about 60 GBP return. You can also fly in on BMI from LHR which is a slightly better time of departure. BMI has returns for little over 100GBP if you book early.
Train: The famous Train Bleu has been arriving from Paris since the 1920's. It was 'the' way to arrive in town for the likes of Churchill,Chaplain,F.Scott Fitzgerald and Coco Chanel. Tickets are reasonable,again if booked in advance. I have not travelled down on the TGV but I think it would be a cool way to do it.
Getting Around:
When I get to the airport I pick up a hire car. I always go for the top of the range that they offer. If it's not top of the range and turning heads you may as well get on the bus. The one in the photo cost me about 300 GBP a day but fuck it,it's only money and it turns heads and is my DHV on wheels.

One thing I learnt from experience is to remove the key fob when you get it. They always advertise the hire car's company. I once pulled a nice Polish girl on the beach,invited her for a drive up to Italy for the afternoon. When I pulled up in the car with the hood down her eyes lit up and we drove off to Italy. Of course I let her believe it was mine. However going into a cafe later I threw the keys on the table and staring up at us both was a very large 'Avis' key fob. After that she presumed everything I had said had been utter BS and I did not get a bang. Same with the glove compartment. Girls are nosey and they will open it when you get out to put petrol in the car. Don't have your hire car receipt in there. It is an expense but if are rolling with a wing then it's a manageable cost that will reward you. Inviting a girl for a drive up to Monaco is the bedrock of my Nice game.
You don't need a car, I just like to roll that way in Nice. The city is walkable, particularly the old town area There is an excellent bus service too running from Nice up to Menton that is cheap and goes via Monaco. Make use of it as it's a great journey.
Places to stay:
The best located hotel is the Le Meridien and I never stay anywhere else. Right on the front with it's private beach area and a great roof terrace,this is the best place to stay. Rooms go from about 250 Euro so it's not cheap but I do love staying here and think it is worth doing if you can afford it.
View From Le Meridien hotel Room:
[attachment=5347]
There are lot's of cheaper options in Nice. From mid level business hotels down to hostels. I've heard great things about this hostel from tourists I have met in Nice: http://www.villahostels.com/index-en but I have personally never stayed there.
Food:
Old town is your spot. Outdoor cafes and cheap pizza places. I like the restaurant on the beach opposite the park I mentioned earlier. People go there to be seen and the food is excellent if pricey. Another great place,especially for breakfast is the self service place on the left of the entrance in the CAP 3000 shopping centre. Great place to eat and then move into doing approaches in the mall or beach opposite.
Women
Looks: Average 7 but a lot of 9s
Ease Of Approach: Depends who you are targeting. The French girls do not or refuse to speak English. I target non French and use English. Russian is a good language to know down here because of the vast numbers of Russians who are now living here.
The types of women you will encounter:
French locals: These are the girls I have least contact with on my trips. They serve me in shops etc. but I never seem to have any contact with them in a game sense. It is my opinion that these French girls are a little stuck up when it comes to dealing with foreigners,especially foreigners who do not speak good French like me. Some great looking girls but I've never had ANY success.
Tourists: Backpackers often American or Ausie,staying in hostels have always been fun to party with. Had some good times. Meet them in the old town pubs at night. Also you get girls staying in the nice hotels who are looking for some excitement on their trip,the whole magical 'South Of France' experience. Find them by the hotel pool which is always good hunting ground.
Foreign ( East European ) Migrants: My main target. Nice has a lot of East European women girls who are living in Nice working as waitresses,nannies etc. On their days off they are at the beach and you can open them and have an insta-date quite often. I usually stop them on the street/beach ask them something random and then when I hear their foreign accent use the old "what's your heritage?" line. Then when they say Russian or whatever I start talking about my travel there or switch to Russian and tell them I'm planning on driving up to Monaco for a drink and they should join. This is my standard approach down there.
The 10s: I use this term to encompass a group that are often from the FSU and are incredibly attractive. In fact sometimes impossibly so. They come to the coast to get picked up by a rich guy. Most are in Monaco but some are in Nice. These girls have game. In fact they have more game then any guy I have ever known. They invest their summers or maybe their whole youth trying to snag a guy who is seriously wealthy and will LTR them. Hence they can sniff out a charlatan such as myself. If you are not 100% congruent in your approach and stories for the entire interaction you will be shot down. I have never ever got anywhere with any of these girls that I have met in clubs or bars. Never. In fact I have begun to approach one in a bar and she has just put her hand up and cut me off before I have uttered my opening line. Others with better skills then me might have better luck. A lot of these girls can turn out to be escorts especially the ones found in Monaco. I have chatted to a few in bars,seemingly doing well,lots of flirtatious touching,invited her to another bar and she has then made it clear that I will need to recompense her. Wasted my time. Hate that.
I have a few favourite spots to meet women:
The Meridien Roof Top Terrace:
I have met a lot of women up here and it's probably my favourite hang out spot in Nice. There is a nice pool up here,sofas where you can drink and eat and sun loungers which always have women on them topping up their tans and watching the talent walk past. It also has the best views of the Promenade de Anglais. As I mentioned before it's a good place to invite girls to after a bar for a night cap. It has a romantic setting and comfy sofas where you can get close to each other and run game. Check it out,get your shorts on,swim about and do some approaches. It's a great place. Good food too but limited menu.

The Beach:
Beach game is always good. The beach in Nice is stony and steep with quite a strong tide at times so it's not actually the best place to swim but there are lots of women sunbathing. You have plenty of approach opportunities here. The Meridien has a private beach out front for key holders. Use it. The area is cordoned off and has loungers and waiter service. This place is not the best to meet women since most are asleep or sunbathing and not swimming but it can be a good spot if you are lucky enough to have a lounger in the right location. You want to be dressed suitably here as in no garish board shorts or 'Attitude' fight gear tops. Understated Ralph Lauren shorts and slim fit polo tops are de-rigour ( that goes for all the coast if you want the right women ). I have met some girls here who are staying in the hotel and looking for someone to party with. Never banged them but led to some good nights out.
The Beach:
[attachment=5349]
Street Approaches:
Behind the Meridien is the old town. This is where the pedestrianised streets are,where the tourists hang out. It's full of outdoor pizza restaurants and outdoor cafes where you can people watch see a target and leave your table to approach. Apart from the beach this is the best day game location imho. It is also where people come in the evening for the bars and just to wander about. Plenty of girls who are drinking and who you can approach and run game on.
CAP 3000 Shopping Centre:
This is a big mall in Nice. Designer shops,restaurants,next to the beach. It can be a good location in Summer for day game. Not had any success here myself but I think it has potential if you spent time here. If French girls is your thing this is where you will most meet them. Worth coming to for an exploration. It's near the airport and has a good restaurant.
Clubs and Bars:
I'm not big into my clubs. I use them purely as places to meet or take women to for some kino escalation. I'm into guitar bands like the Strokes or Libertines etc. hence clubs playing dance music or techno just does not do it to me so I'm not an expert on the scene in Nice. Having said that I have used two clubs for that purpose. I believe one was called the LA Suite ( or it may have been Le Suite ) and Blue Boy. In my opinion both mediocre and playing shite music far too loudly but others might find it to be their scene. Plenty of women were in them on the times I went however although Blue Boy was mostly French in there which means you might find it harder,I did. ( Btw,I am not hating on the French when I say that and my other comments about not bothering with them. It's only because I am piss poor at French and most don't seem to want to speak English which is perfectly understandable,it is their country after all. Some of them are very very attractive and I'd be more then happy to bang them with the fury of a thousand suns. )
Bars are plentiful. From sports bars with a backpacking Aussie clientèle to expensive cocktail bars with the uber cool sipping Martinis and eyeing each others recently purchased Prada bags. Head to the old town where the action is at night and you'll find a place that you like.
My Experiences In Nice And General Opinion:
I have had a couple successes in Nice with some good looking girls. I love the place but my love for the town has little to do with the women tbh. I have great friends living down there and they are my main reason to visit not game. It's great just to catch some sun for a few days and relax on a beach or outdoor cafe. Having said that driving along the coast road in a convertible up to Italy for lunch with a beautiful Russian you have just met on the beach are moments that will live long in the memory especially if I bang her afterwards. Some of the women you see are incredible and they know it. If you play it right and splurge a little you can have a great time and get some really nice looking women who would like a glimpse into that world that they think you are used to inhabiting. It can be fun. Nice is not really a party town though imo and hence St.Tropez is apparently a better choice if you want to party a lot and meet a lot of like minded women. I'll explore it this summer for myself.
Overall a great place but maybe for reasons other then game.
