The Delegation for Senior Citizenship is setting up a whole range of activities during the summer aimed at promoting social connections and combating the isolation of Nice’s seniors during the months of June, July, and August.
Thus, to allow seniors to keep their “Freshness of Mind” during summer and remain active, cultural, sports, and leisure activities will be offered to those over 60, until Tuesday, September 3, with most activities taking place “in the cool”…
