Pierre and Cédric, both 31 years old, decided “on the eve of the second confinement” to create the account ” Memes.nicois “. They now have over 12,500 subscribers. Memes, which can be defined as an image posted on the Web composed of an explicit photo and a humorous or ironic text, are inspired by their experience in Nice. One of the creators explains: “We are inspired by our desires and feelings about the population of Nice. Without forgetting a big dose of second degree! “
In less than a year, they have developed “new creative concepts diverted to the Nice sauce” such as “Pokémon cards or Tintin albums”. References that only those “who live or have lived in Nice, whatever their age”, can understand. In this way, the Azureans use these memes to “instantly bring to the fore the flaws, the qualities and all that makes up the little things of the local culture.” It brings our community together and creates real cohesion between Nissarts. “
An account to “understand our city”

the heist of the century », But also the history of the castle on the hill or those of the statues with which we share the street.

He thus wants to allow the people of Nice and “those who want to discover the city” to understand where they are walking. “The target is more young people, those who use social networks and who can get information in this way,” says Tom. Thus, he builds his posts by trying to get to the point, to avoid unfolding the entire encyclopedia but allowing to know more about a story. He sums up, his account is: “Lighter than a notebook and less heavy than a teacher”.
Secrets not so well kept
