Nice Tramway Inauguration
Nice, France, November 24, 2007: the new tram opens. First Tram, operated by Myriam Dalmasso, breaks through a paper barrier at Place Massena amidst a shower of confetti. The rides began after a marvelous "Nicois Buffet". Seems like everyone in the immediate area wanted to experience the tram! Couldn`t believe the number of Nice residents who had never been to Nice-Nord or Nice Est! Less automobiles too!
