Now let's see some negative opinion about living in Nice

User profile picture
Opinion

I don't like the lifestyle here. People drink a lot in groups, it's too crowded, no area to sit somewhere and to enjoy one's solitude. I'm not keen on pastries, duck and snails, fish is really expensive. Also there's lack of hygiene (people touch food after touching money and the, cash register without wearing gloves).
