That is strange. I go to Nice all the time and never noticed a significant Arab population. However, there IS a significant migration from people of African origin, especially from Francophone countries - Morocco, etc. Actually, this is a serious problem in South of France - we are not far from Africa, you see. There are many immigrants from African countries who come to Nice and Marseilles and subsequently live off the French social security system and get involved in petty crimes. This is in fact why extreme right-wing leader Le Pen was even before Chirac in the South of France in the past presidential elections. Still, I just don't remember seeing many Arabs around here. The arabs we get around here are generally Princes and Princesses driven around in limousines, who live in Hotel de Paris for six months :)

Haha Yaakon! Why the fuck didn't you ask me where to eat ? I would have PM you the only restaurant in France where even the French fries are not frozen... old city, rue Droite, right by the st Rita's church, Acchirado, and even their escalope milanaise is for real. But don't post that around, we must keep this place friendly thus somehow secret. Now, please do not use a word like "ass lickers" to define France. Quote my late friend the baron de Beney de Brillat Savarin : "la France est une Grande Dame" his euphemism for a whore, but with class! Cheer up Yaakov, I'm in Israel where the wine is sad but the sea just great, and the Arabs, well the Arabs, when they don't blow up, they are rather friendly.
