As part of the 16th national edition of the Printemps des Poètes, the people of Nice expressed themselves in poetry on the theme “At the Heart of the Arts” during the Poetry Forum held from February 4th to 22nd.
Since March 1st and until the end of the month, the City of Nice is offering a program full of poetry, blending the various artistic movements that have shaped its cultural identity.
In addition to its flagship institutions like the Louis Nucéra Library or the Mediterranean University Center, which open their doors to poetry enthusiasts and the curious, the City of Nice is also calling on local associations and the Nice-Nord Forum to expand its programming across the territories.
