You will discover the French gastronomy and specialities from Nice, the numerous museums (Musée Matisse, Musée des Arts Asiatiques, Musée des Beaux Arts, Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain (MAMAC), Musée Chagall…) and of course various places like “la promenade des Anglais” or “le Vieux Nice”. In “La Promenade des Anglais”, you may practice sports like running, roller skating or cycling, enjoy the beauty of the Meditterean Sea and spend some time on the beach. You can also walk downtown to do some shopping or just discover the city by using the Tramway which allows you to go about everywhere in Nice. There are many places to go out to enjoy your evenings in the Vieux Nice, around the harbor or downtown. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information, please visit https://2018.programming-conference.org/ <https://2018.programming-conference.org> You can also find us on Twitter (twitter.com/programmingconf <http://twitter.com/programmingconf>) and Facebook (facebook.com/programmingconf <http://facebook.com/programmingconf>) Looking forward to seeing you in Nice, Manuel Serrano (General chair), Tamara Rezk (Organizing chair), Guido Salvaneschi (Program chair), Sylvia Grewe, Philipp Haller, Etienne Lozes, Stefan Marr, Minh Ngo, Tobias Pape, Yves Roudier, and Jennifer B.
