From Nice to Berlin and from New York to Bucharest, he leads us to places he cherishes and shares with us the events that have marked him. Along the way, we encounter the characters who have helped him become who he is: a tolerant and generous man, faithful to his convictions and friendships, loving and determined.
But more than anything, Patrick Mottard loves Nice and its people, their warmth and diversity, a city both Mediterranean and unlike any other, whose soul he strives to preserve through his political commitment.
An astonishing text, deeply original and of high literary quality, which demonstrates great writing talent.
Teaching at the University of Nice, serving as a General Councilor of Alpes-Maritimes, and President of the left-wing opposition group “Nice Plurielle” at the Nice City Council, Patrick Mottard is a man of culture and commitment.
Thanks to his blog, his teaching to students of all nationalities, his regular presence in Nice, and his numerous travels around the world, he has developed this profound humanism and accessibility that are so dear to him, in both politics and life.
