To discuss project proposals

President’s Journey to Nice, 7 to 9 May 2027 with an optional day on Thursday, 6 May.

Hotels in Nice fill up quickly during the lovely month of May, so for those of you joining (hopefully all of you), you might want to book soonish.

Michael suggested two Hotels:

• Hotel Monsigny, Libération district, near the Gare du Sud, prime location. Rooms are 3 nights minimum booking, costs at the moment for 3 nights and 2 people: EU 450. See: https://www.hotelmonsignynice.com/en/
• Hotel St. Paul, 29 Blvd Franck Pilatte, perched on its terrace facing the sea (ideal for going for a swim). Costs at the moment for 3 nights and 2 people: EUR 432, but you can book 2 nights only. See https://lesaintpaul-hotel.fr/en/home/

 A good 4 star Hotel Michael suggests:

• Hotel West End next to the famous Negresco, at the waterfront. Costs at the moment for 3 nights and 2 people: EUR 753 (incl. breakfast). See: https://www.hotel-westend.com/en/

I am sure there are plenty of other good hotels in Nice.

On Thursday, from 10:30 to 13:00, Michael can offer a special tour of an architecturally very important house, one of only 2 built by the architect Eileen Gray with murals by Le Corbusier. See: https://capmoderne.monuments-nationaux.fr/en/discover/history-of-cap-moderne-eileen-gray-and-le-corbusier-at-cap-martin
We would go there by train. The tour might be a little early for those arriving Thursday. Please drop me an email if you would be interested in joining. If we’re not enough, we will offer an alternative program.

So far, the plan is:

• Friday: Antibes, Picasso Museum, Od town.
• Saturday: Nice, Castle Hill, Old Town Villa Massena (a museum of art and history), Museum of photography Charles Nègre
• Sunday: Nice, Museum Chagall, Museum Matisse, la promenade

We will find nice restaurants for Friday and Saturday evening.
We will send a more detailed programme in January.

Please can you register tentatively so that Michael and I can estimate for how many people to book.

THANK YOU. I am so looking forward to this trip with you!

Yours in Rotary
