Location: This flash mob will take place in the shopping gallery of the CARREFOUR Nice TNL shopping center, in the section between the entrance on Pierre Sola Street and the French Games kiosk. That is, the entire straight line at the exit of the Carrefour checkout.
Access: You can park for free for 1 hour and 30 minutes in the underground parking of the shopping center if you come by car. There is a tram stop on Rue de la République, at the end of Pierre Sola Street. If you are coming by bus, get off at Riquier station. If you are walking, enter the shopping center through Pierre Sola Street.
Schedule: The flash mob will start at exactly 7:00 PM. Try to be in the shopping gallery by 6:50 PM to get your bearings. Place a clothespin on the lapel of your jacket from 6:50 PM so that our contact can spot you.
Start: Since the shopping gallery is quite noisy, our contact will whistle (in a particular way) very loudly at exactly 7:00 PM. They will do the same to mark the end of the flash mob which will last 5 minutes.
Your mission: This is a “Freeze”. At exactly 7:00 PM, as soon as you hear the whistle, freeze. Turn into a statue. Try to strike an original pose if you feel it, it will look nicer. Stay in this position for 5 minutes. Our contact will give the end signal by whistling very loudly in the same way as at the beginning. At the final whistle, applaud and disperse without saying a word to other flash mobbers. To see a video example, click here…
Note: This flash mob is a bit special as we will be mixed with many people who are not aware, which will make it even more fun. If you are coming to participate in this flash mob, be a part of it! Do not take photos; professionals will handle this. Indeed, it would be a shame to see more photographers than flash mobbers.
