The sun-soaked French Riviera, with its chic seaside resorts, hilltop villages, and proximity to ski resorts, has long been a popular choice for people daydreaming about leaving everything behind to live in paradise. This summer, many have likely been tempted by the idea of making the move permanent. In fact, Nice in the Alpes-Maritimes region has recently been ranked as one of the best cities to live near Bordeaux, Marseille, Lille and now the “French Riviera.” Unlike other cities on the list, Nice is a popular choice for Parisians looking to make a permanent move away from the capital.
Traveling from Paris to the Côte d’Azur can take nearly 6 hours by train, 10 hours by car, or just over an hour by plane. While relocating to this idyllic location may seem like a dream come true, it’s important to consider practicalities such as transport options and carbon footprints before making such a significant move. The allure of a sun-kissed lifestyle should be weighed against the pros and cons before taking any decision.
