"In Nice it's important to respect local custom and understand their beliefs and values. It's generally best to avoid discussing subjects such as politics or religion in conversations. Additionally, it is considered impolite to use language or gestures that are considered insulting or offensive, as well as dressing inappropriately. It is also important to be aware of local dining customs, such as avoiding eating with one's hands, or making loud noises while eating. Lastly, in crowded areas or public transport it is important to be aware of where you are and not to take up more than your fair share of space," remarked another expat in Nice, France, France.
