My mind has been on the Côte d’Azur lately, so I signed up for an Airbnb Online Experience based in Nice. “Prepare a feast with French macaron” is hosted by Emma Lloret, founder of the brand Delicious by Emma. In addition to teaching cooking classes online, the entrepreneur runs a bed and breakfast, teaches French, and welcomes travelers around her table for breakfast and brunch. I intend to inquire after this studio or one bedroom whenever my travels bring me to Nice.
My preliminary research led me to Emma’s Airbnb guidebooks (one, two, three, four, five). The restaurants I’ve included in this roundup are based on her recommendations. Come along with me as I bookmark online resources and pack my virtual suitcase for Nice.
