About Nice, France
The writer Somerset Maugham once famously mused that the French Riviera was a ‘sunny place for shady people,' and bold and brashy Nice does its best to epitomise this nefariously glamorous reputation. A collage of sultry cool and seedy decadence, Nice is a city that is hard not to become enveloped in.
With the Mediterranean lapping on its shores, Nice's prime position on the Côte d'Azur is the biggest draw for tourists. But don't expect miles of golden sand; the stony beach is narrow, rugged and uncomfortable to walk on barefoot - although that doesn't stop it being strewn with bronze beachgoers topping up their tans.
However, there's much more to France's fifth largest city than a craggy beach packed with vanity; Nice is home to a smorgasbord of museums and galleries, which are largely free to enter. Culture vultures have mayor Christian Estrosi to thank for that - in 2008 he abolished admission charges in a bid to make the city's heritage more accessible (sadly, this initiative does not extend to the state-run Marc Chagall Museum).

About Tahiti
The basic lifestyle of the islands is represented by the simple Tahitian fares built of bamboo with pandanus roofs. Local women dress in bright pareos and men in the male equivalent, but casual dress is expected of the visitor (except in Papeete, where bathing suits and shorts are not considered suitable dress). Traditional dances are still performed mostly in hotels, with Western dance styles mainly in tourist centres. Normal social courtesies are important.
