Anyone been to this new parc - apparently inaugurated in late 2008 - on st phillipe hill in Nice?
I only discovered about it from an LPO calendar of events and its not on the official Nice website or interactive map yet
here is the blurb on it I found which looks like a machine translation from a French press release - for once the spelling mistakes etc are not mine ;}
