The
Nicois (residents of Nice) are in some ways the Parisians of the
south. A difference perhaps being that the rarely needed fur coats
may well be dyed purple, and the clothes and makeup of the 'grandes
bourgeosies' are far more colorful than those of their northern
sisters. Yet there is an underlying character, an independent spirit,
which rejects the central governing influence emanating from Paris.
The Niçois do what the Niçois
want to do, and when they want to do it. |
