In the press
Les Folies d'Edmonde rendent hommage par ce prénom à la grand-mère de Caroline et d'Aurélie […], sœurs à l'origine de cette adresse récente, chérie des jeunes artistes niçois.
Presque secret et discret sans pour autant être speakeasy, c'est dans une ruelle du Vieux-Nice que se situe ce charmant bar à cocktails tenu par deux sœurs passionnées et expertes en l'art de la mixologie.
Les Folies d'Edmonde offers refined yet unpretentious cocktails in the heart of the old town. […] The vaulted stone ceiling downstairs creates an intimate and cosy atmosphere.
Very nice staff here. They actually said that if we didn't like our choice of cocktail we didn't need to drink it and they would make another one for us.
Installée aux Folies d'Edmonde, la première édition de « Nissart'isans » a réuni adhérents de la JCE, artisans, partenaires et curieux […]. Les participants ont pris part à des ateliers d'initiation organisés par les équipes des Folies d'Edmonde.
Les Folies d'Edmonde et L'Omega Club à Nice accueillent chaque soir une clientèle avide de danse, de musique et de rencontres.
