A wind announces the arrival of spring and summer on the Riviera dei Fiori, bringing with it a longing to go out, the need to move and to be out in the open air. Sun, sun, sun. In the summer it gives you a fantastic tan. In autumn and winter it makes you throw your coat away and caresses you with warmth. In spring it seduces you to go to the beach. It is a gift of Matuta, the goddess of the sea and the dawn that had a weakness for our lovely region.

From the moment you walk into Le 6 you'll feel like you have found a hidden gem of a nightclub in Vieux Nice. Despite being only 12 years old, Le 6 seems to get better with time. For a more intimate-sized lounge, its personality seems to extend beyond its physical confines. Le 6 is marketed as a gay-friendly club/lounge with the feel of being an intimate, high end private club, just without the private club fees. The clientele is predominately gay but everyone is more than allowed to join in the fun.
Once you step inside you'll notice the club has a high-tech metal-type décor gently mixed with the building's original beauty and character. Contrasted with the ornate ceiling, it seems to work style-wise.
This summer’s main exhibition at Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum is a collection of monumental pieces from the Pompidou Centre’s collections. At first this sounds like a daft idea – a bit like deciding to read all the big format books in a library. And yet, once you get inside the show and start to follow the logic of curator Ariane Coulandre, you find yourself drawn into all kinds of parallels and similarities in this preposterous concept.
Madonna, coming to Nice on August 21, is in trouble with France’s extreme right-wing party the National Front. The Material Girl has put the cat among the pigeons by showing FN leader, Marine Le Pen’s face with a swastika on the forehead in a stage concert video backdrop. The image later morphs into the face of Adolf Hitler. The incident took place at France’s Stade de France.
The FN, previously led by Ms Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie, who once described the holocaust as a “detail of history”, is upset about being associated with fascism in Madonna’s video.
The Voix du Gaou, one of the most scenic and eclectic festivals around, is starting tonight and once again it promises to offer ten fabulous nights of music.
Located on a small island 5 kms south of Six-Four-Les-Plages, between Ollioules, Sanary-sur-Mer and La Seune-sur-Mer in Le Var, the event has seen big for its 16th edition with a lineup that ranges from rock and pop to world music and French variety.
The American indie rock band Gossip will kick off the festivities tonight along with Band of Skulls and Mina May. They will be followed by The Rapture on Tuesday , music superstar Sting on Wednesday, LMFAO on Saturday and urban artist Beat Assaillant on the 25th.
The Tour de France has been hit by an act of sabotage as tacks have been thrown across the road just as the main pack was approaching. Last year's winner, Cadel Evans, was among the riders hit, suffering two punctures. Worse still, his team could not get another bike to him as the first teammate to arrive also had a flat, and the team van could not get through the narrow roads filled with competitors to reach him. The rest of the latest stage was played out in a surreal situation where current yellow jersey Bradley Wiggins organised for the pack to slow down to allow Evans to catch them up.
The stage was won by Spanish rider Luis Leon Sanchez.
Les Nuits Musicales du Suquet is set for a roaring success this summer. Two shows are already sold out, and the others are booking fast.
