The Deputy Delegate for Intergenerational and Seniors Affairs, Françoise Monier, presented the schedule of activities for seniors yesterday. Whether you are sporty, contemplative, or an environmental protector, there is something for everyone. The key word is pleasure. Ensuring it flows through the hearts of seniors aged 60 to 100. Enough to cheer up the over 100,000 elderly people present in Nice.
Who has never dreamed of singing Michel Sardou? You can do it, but there’s something even better. A mobile music truck. Its goal is to roam through all the neighborhoods of Nice. For one free song listened to, you will be entitled to two more songs if you enjoyed it. “I wanted this summer to be festive, happening everywhere in all the city’s neighborhoods,” states Françoise Monier. She explains that on the first day of registration, there were more than 1,500 volunteers.
A rich and diverse program
There is no obligation to diligently follow all these activities. However, two things will be required for participation. The first is simply to register. Subsequently, you will need to provide a medical certificate for physical activities. “Sansas” will also allow you to take charge of your health. If you have any questions for advice and to know what’s best for you.
Dance will accompany you throughout the summer. The city hall has given these activities the charming name “les bals connectés”. Country if you have a cowboy soul, disco to reminisce about Saturday night fevers. There are also more exotic styles like African dance or salsa which will introduce you to new sensations. These sessions will last a maximum of one hour. “We still don’t have the right to dance together, the nightclubs haven’t opened yet, so we’re dancing outside, it’s nice,” adds the deputy. Two major shows will take place in July and August at the verdant theater. With a stop at the health pass booth.
A way to discover your city
It’s true that not everyone always has a sense of direction. Sometimes, it discourages some from visiting Nissa la Bella. That’s where the “connected urban rally” makes its entrance onto the… crime scene. If you dreamed of becoming Sherlock Holmes, this is now possible. “With your mobile phone, you will have to conduct investigations throughout the city.” As in any police investigation, there are two stages. Investigation and pursuit of the culprit. So if your heart desires, you can start plogging. Your mission will be to run and catch the naughty litter to send them to prison.
There are also nature outings to places you may have never set foot on. Discovering the seven Wonders of ancient Nice… and modern as well. Finally, if you prefer the sea to solid ground, the pointus will make an appearance this summer. Thanks to the association La Mouette, you will be able to board and roam the city.
But also to wander
In the south, there are two traditions that cannot be overlooked. Pastis, but especially pétanque. “Boule santé” will give you the opportunity to try this national sport and to resume physical activity. Nice’s deputy seems to know her way around as well. “You should know that a ball has a certain weight. In a certain way, it allows you to exercise without realizing it.”
Why make it complicated when you can keep it simple? The city didn’t have to look far for this activity. The beach no, “it’s nice, but sometimes it’s difficult to get into it with the pebbles.” The Li Rateta beach will be privatized for the occasion for our retirees. “It will be from 8 to 9 AM or from 5 to 6 PM. A 15-minute aqua aerobics session will also be scheduled.”
