About niceTrotter and its founder

Founder of niceTrotter (since 2002)

I lived in Nice and still go back at least once a month: the articles on niceTrotter are fuelled by direct, regular knowledge of the city, not by mere compilation.

François-Olivier Hoizey

François-Olivier Hoizey is the founder of niceTrotter, an independent travel guide to Nice created in 2026. He lived in Nice and still stays there every month, which allows him to regularly verify and update the information on the site. In parallel, he is E-commerce & AI Director at Fremaux Delorme (Yves Delorme, Desforges, Christian Fischbacher brands), a member of the group's executive committee. He holds a Master's degree in Human Resources Management (Université Côte d'Azur) and a Master's in Labour Law (Université de Lille). He was also SEO Manager at ATECNA.
