Over the years, “La Lettre du Paillon” has set its pen on the news of the Contes canton, which spans seven territories: Bendejun, Berre les Alpes, Châteauneuf-Villevieille, Cantaron, Coaraze, Contes, and Drap. Reflecting small or large events, “La Lettre du Paillon” colors its pages to the rhythm of the life in the Paillon Valley: culture, social matters, sports, leisure, transport, nature… everything that happens in this valley is reported in its pages. Yes, the history of the Paillon Valley is written on these pages: the opening of the Contes college, the devastating fire of 1986, shows offered by Païoun Ven, the opening of the Paillon Penetrating Tunnel… “La Lettre du Paillon” is, almost, a family album for this valley.
Starting today, Monday, March 1st, its paper pages will be shared with web pages. Indeed, Nice-Premium offers a space on its website to the Paillon Valley where internet users can follow the news of this region in the hinterland of Nice. Readers will particularly find articles published in the local bi-monthly “La Lettre du Paillon.” The publication director of “La Lettre du Paillon” responded “yes” to this invitation without hesitation: “The proposal from Nice-Premium, for which I am grateful, will broaden the informed audience about what happens in our valley. We can only be pleased,” comments Francis Tujague.
“La Lettre du Paillon,” a free print press that has existed for 27 years, is joining our web daily, which has been informing over 120,000 monthly visitors for five years. Do you think this will bring a different perspective on the Paillon Valley? “The image of the Paillons is often linked to that of the cement valley. Over the past twenty years, this valley has evolved significantly and has become a pleasant place to live, which everyone who discovers it quickly becomes attached to. It deserves to be known for what it truly is,” responds the publication director.
Any message for our online readers who will discover or rediscover the Paillon Valley on the web? “After discovering the Paillon Valley on the web, do not hesitate to explore it in person. You will enjoy its high-quality natural sites, its rich and diverse heritage, its numerous public services, and the wealth of its associative life, as well as the festivals and events organized there in both summer and winter,” expresses Francis Tujague.
