In this video I'm going to share a bit of Nice's history as it became a "pedestrian" city.

I'm Jeff Scott. I'm a retired, award winning Architect, originally from the sunny SW coast of Florida, I live in Nice France now. Yes! I'm a lucky guy!

A graduate of Kent State University, in Ohio, I spent close to 40 years designing the world around us, both residential and commercial projects. At age 70, I said "enough" my wife, An and I and our little dog, Bella, sold, donated and gave away most of our stuff and retired to the south of France. That was back in early 2024.

Since we've moved here, life has been an adjustment, mostly good. But there have been some frustrating moments.

I've had to get creative and resourceful in order to make our lives, here in Nice, France, as comfortable as possible. Sometimes, that means coming up with creative ideas for finding storage, repurposing things, recycling things and having an eye for good trash out on the streets. You know what they say--- "One man's trash is another man's treasure". And today, in this video, my favorite phrase is "every centimeter counts"!
