Jeanne Oliver

Jeanne Oliver is a travel writer and Nice resident who has been writing about France and European destinations for more than 25 years. Her website French Riviera Traveller has been cited by travel writer Rick Steves as a useful resource for travelers visiting the French Riviera and she was featured in the Sandi Toksvig's Great Riviera Rail Trip documentary series on Channel 4. Formerly a guidebook author, Jeanne now devotes her time to maintaining her two websites, Nice Uncovered and French Riviera Traveller, dedicated to practical local advice, self-guided walks, hidden corners, cultural insights, and detailed destination information for visitors to the Cote d'Azur. She specializes in helping independent travelers discover the French Riviera beyond the obvious highlights. Based in Nice, Jeanne spends her off-hours exploring neighborhoods, coastal walks, markets, museums, cafes, and lesser-known Riviera destinations in search of experiences that help travelers connect more deeply with the region. Her work combines detailed research with first-hand local knowledge and an emphasis on independent, culturally engaged travel.
