Nizza

I would like to spend 2 weeks in Nizza to learn French.
Has anybody already been there?
I'm looking for a family who could give me a room for two weeks.

Thanks for all informations like phone numbers and e-mail adresses.

"Nice" could create missunderstandings. Nizza is clearer.

I think Nice would be almost universally understood. It's the name in
both French and English, and I believe is the name used in most of the
rest of Europe as well. I had never heard of Nizza until I came to
Italy, and it took me a while to realize it was Nice.

From 1338 Nizza (aka as Nice) belonged to the Savoia family, and was
transferred to France only in 1860, in a complex politic and military
deal that leveraged the birth of the united Italy kingdom under the
Savoia - to the grief, for example, of the Italian hero Giuseppe
Garibaldi that was born there and considered giving it to the French as
little short of a treason.

Besides the other - rather useful - answers about the city name,
here is a recent announcement for a room.

You can also give a call to
ASSOCIATION FAMILLES & JEUNESSE
4, rue Masséna - 06000 NICE
Tél: 04 93 822 822 - Fax: 04 93 881 286

Nice or Nizza, or whatever, is really a wonderful place.
You'll love your stay.
Don't forget a walk along Cours Saleya and the Vieux Nice in the morning,
a tour at The Chateau just before the sunset,
try to live the central area "La zonne pietonne" at night,
and many other things you'll see by yourself !

When I went there with my partner, he referred to it as Niza! (Spanish)
