Air traffic is changing rapidly and becoming cheaper and cheaper. I'll try to keep you as updated as possible but help is always welcome. Basically, the low cost airlines are submerging Europe: Easyjet, Virgin, Tansavia,Ryan Air,Go, Buzz etc and they all offer low cost flights between dozens of European cities and Nice. Have you heard about a cheap(er) flight from any destination ?LET US KNOW. By the way all prices are valid at time of update and should only be used as information as the prices are changing rapidly

In Nice you can get 4 magazines that are gay or gay-related. All of them are exclusively in French and available free in most gay-outlets.
The oldest and probably most serious of all. Monthly publication. There are a lot of articles about gay rights, some pictures, personal adds and a listing of all the gay outlets in the area (it is a pity that this list is uncomplete and has a few errors). All in all not a very interesting book because there are not many articles about Nice but, it's one of those books that everybody takes when available.
Once a month, available for free in most gay outlets
This magazine actually gives a very good agenda of what is going on along the whole of the Meditrranean coast from Montpellier to Nice. You will find this magazine sometimes in sauna Bains Douches, Blue Boy disco, most of the bars and Hotel Meyerbeer Beach. Edition every 2 months.
Recently the Hyzberg has changed the contenance of this magazine. It has become much better now with useful information, interviews about new outlets, articles about what is to come, etc.. There is a listing with all gay outlets. It is still a pity that it is only in French but, you can't have it all.
It is the most popular magazine in Nice.
Once a month, available for free in most gay outlets
