Points of Interest[]
- Nice
- Nice is a city located in the southeastern region of France. It is part of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and is the fifth largest city in the country. One of the communes found in Nice is La Turbie, which is part of Savoy or the Principality of Monaco. Nice was featured in the 1998 action movie Ronin and was one of several notable French locales seen in the film. It was the sight of an armored convoy that was transporting a highly sought-after briefcase that became the target of both Russian mobsters as well as members of the Irish Republican Army and U.S. Special Forces operatives. Two of the interested parties, Sam and Deirdre, staked out the area and eventually ambushed the convoy at La Turbie. They pursued the survivors through the surrounding countryside and the Old Town of Nice. After a lengthy car chase and gun battle in the Port of Nice, one of their team members, Gregor, betrayed the group and disappeared after stealing a car.
- Paris
- Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres, and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
