Nice Côte d’Azur Airport launches daily flight to Philadelphia

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has welcomed the first of its new daily and direct flights from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city and the hometown of Grace Kelly, the American actress who would go on to become Princess Grace of Monaco through her marriage to Prince Rainier III.  

There have never been more options available to passengers travelling from the USA to the Côte d’Azur. 

As of 7th May, the Pennsylvanian city of Philadelphia has become the latest long-haul destination in the USA to benefit from a daily direct connection with Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, expanding a growing list of North American destinations already served by the travel hub. 

“We warmly thank American Airlines for its trust and for this new route to the United States operated directly, synonymous with saving time and lower emissions,” says Franck Goldnadel, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur. “It demonstrates the growing attractiveness of our territory among Americans, more and more of whom [come] to the Côte d’Azur every year, and responds to our desire to always better connect our territory to major cities around the world.”  

As an American Airlines hub, Philadelphia is not just a one-stop destination, but a great jumping off point for the 140 other cities and airports it services.  

“We are delighted to officially start the summer season in Europe with the launch of our new Nice-Philadelphia service,” says José Freig, American Airlines Vice President of International Operations. “Our daily flight to the French Riviera offers our guests a new opportunity to experience the azure waters, gastronomy and rich culture that the French Riviera offers. We therefore look forward to working alongside our partners at Nice Airport to further enrich their experience in the south of France.” 

Other North American cities accessible directly from Nice include Atlanta, New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark and Montréal in Canada.  

Flights to Philadelphia will be operated daily until 6th October.

Three tenancies still available for artists’ studios in Monaco

Monaco’s Department of Cultural Affairs has renewed its call for applications for three artists’ ateliers on the Quai Antoine Ier in Port Hercule. 

Three workshops with leases ranging from one to six months, with the possibility of a one-time renewal, are up for grabs in Monaco. Two of the studios include adjoining accommodation.  

Interested artists need not have any specific ties to the Principality, but they must have the correct legal status and, if necessary, the appropriate visa to live in Monaco. 

The ateliers will be allocated via a competition-style review process. Applicants are being asked to submit a CV along with a presentation of up to five visual examples of their work, three press clippings, if possible, and a proposal for the project the artist wishes to work on during their potential Monaco residency. 

No specific theme is required for the project, but government sources say that the selection committee will “pay particular attention to projects with an international aim and/or linked to a Monegasque cultural institution”.  

Applications must be uploaded via the Mon Service Public portal by 31st May. 

Further information can be found here.
