Nice Is Nice — and So Is Neice: A Delta-Fueled Family Adventure to France 🇫🇷✨
There’s something poetic about a city that shares a name with a feeling. Nice is, quite literally, nice — in every sense of the word. Nestled on the sparkling French Riviera, this sun-soaked coastal gem blends the warmth of Mediterranean charm with the elegance of old-world Europe. But this story isn’t just about a city. It’s about a feeling, a family, and a possible future chapter — with Delta (hi, Delta 👋) leading the way.
☀️ Why Nice Is… Well, Nice
Picture this: crystal-clear turquoise waters, pastel-colored buildings, fresh-baked croissants wafting through narrow cobblestone streets, and the kind of effortless chic only the French seem to master. Whether you’re strolling the Promenade des Anglais or sipping rosé at a seaside café, Nice invites you to slow down, soften, and savor.
Nice is a portal. It’s the kind of place that whispers, “you belong here,” especially for those of us who feel most alive when surrounded by beauty, culture, and a bit of magic.
💌 From Miami Beach to the Mediterranean
Recently, my dad sold his house in Pound Ridge (congrats Papa!! 🏡🥂), and he’s looking ahead — to France. Possibly Nice. Possibly somewhere just as dreamy. At first, it felt like a whimsical idea, but now the possibility feels real. Tangible. Almost like a new family storyline is unfolding — one that might have me visiting France more often than I visit Trader Joe’s.
Maybe it’s time for me to wander a little farther, to meet the muse of the Riviera, and to find a new rhythm in France. I've always lived with one foot in the world of ritual and the other in real life, and perhaps this is where they converge.
✈️ Delta: Making Long-Distance Feel Doable
Let’s be real — the dream only works if the travel feels smooth. That’s where Delta comes in. With direct and connecting flights to France (Nice included), Delta makes crossing the Atlantic feel totally doable — even for a spontaneous dad-daughter visit or a few weeks of working remotely in a French flat with good light and lavender soap.
I’ve flown Delta for years and always feel that rare blend of comfort and consistency. Their in-flight wellness touches, international routes, and SkyMiles perks? Très chic.
Also… shout out to Delta if you want to sponsor our trips 👀✈️💙
It’s giving long-distance relationship, but make it familial.
🌍 Next Stop: Neice in Nice?
So yes, my partner made me write this. But maybe that’s love, too: someone nudging you to tell your story, to document the little transitions that quietly become big turning points. Whether it’s a family visit, a creative escape, or a new ritual, this moment feels like a beginning.
Nice is more than just nice. It’s an invitation. A feeling. And maybe, just maybe, it’s where this neice finds her next adventure.
And before France, there’s New York — I’m visiting my niece this June, a brand-new addition to our family, and the tiniest reminder of how important staying connected really is. She’s in the Wilton/Westport CT area, and I already know I’ll want to visit often. I hope that even if I do end up living abroad, I can still stay close to family — as we all grow up in our own ways, including me.
