Check out the apartment below!
The apartment is an elegant, sophisticated and subtly glamorous apartment that has been carefully interior designed with comfort at its heart. Situated in the centre of the prestigious Carré d’Or with a view to the Mediterranean from the balcony, this beautiful apartment combines convenience, style and comfort for a perfect relaxing break on the Côte d’Azur.
This apartment is situated on the 3rd floor of a modern building. The lift is for three people but it will not fit an unfolded pushchair. Should you decide to walk, there are 62 steps of average steepness to reach the front door.
This apartment in Nice is located in the heart of the centre, in the very desirable area known as the Carré d’Or. It is very close to the beach – a short walk, just one block or street will bring you onto the Promenade des Anglais.
Guests will find many high quality shops, wine bars, and excellent restaurants on their doorstep on rue de France and the nearby pedestrian zone. Nice’s Old Town and Cours Saleya daily market is a 15 minute stroll away. The local bus route is close by and the airport express bus stops on the Promenade. The main train station is about a 15 minute walk away, and the Port and Castle Hill will take about 25 minutes on foot.

Event Details
Please join us for our monthly Soirée Cinéma on Friday, April 12th for “Visages Villages” (“Faces Places”),
a fascinating documentary about French life in the countryside.
Genre: Documentary
Director: JR Agnès Varda
Review (Rolling Stone):
“Sheer perfection – that’s the phrase that springs to mind when describing the humanist miracle that is Faces Places, the year’s best and most beguiling documentary. It’s also a testament to the talents of Agnes Varda, the pint-sized, 89-year-old goddess of New Wave French cinema, and JR, the lanky 34-year-old photographer and visual artist who teams up with the veteran filmmaker to chronicle French rural life.”
Cast:
JR Agnès Varda
Jeannine Carpentier

Films are shown in the Alliance library, located on the second floor of the CLARA Studios for the Performing Arts, 2420 N Street in Midtown Sacramento. Please enter through the northeast door off the rear parking lot, as other building doors may be locked.

Event Details
Please join us for our monthly Soirée Cinéma on Friday, May 10th for “Je vais bien, ne t’en fais pas” (“Don’t Worry, I’m Fine”),
a French drama that explores many aspects of family life and finding yourself.
Genre: Drama
Director: Phillippe Lioret (Nominated for César Award for Best Director)
Review (Variety): “Philippe Lioret tackles the stifling prefab conformity of the Parisian suburbs in the ironically titled “Don’t Worry, I’m Fine.” A young woman’s search for her missing twin brother leads her through some potentially pedestrian TV-movie territory, including a standard-issue dysfunctional family and a bout with near-fatal anorexia.”
Cast:
Mélanie Laurent (Winner of César Award for Most Promising Actress)
Kad Merad (Winner of César Award for Best Supporting Actor)
Isabelle Renauld
Julien Boisselier
Simon Buret
Aissa Maiga
