The LGBTQIA+ centre for Nice and the wider Cote d'Azur, and the practical answer to most questions a visitor or a new arrival might have. Eighteen associations from across the region share the building, which makes it the closest thing the coast has to a single front door.
What it does is concrete rather than symbolic. There is a sexual health point covering PrEP, HIV testing and mental health, legal and psychological support, help with transition, and support for people going through the asylum process. La Maioun de Cathy, run from here, houses LGBTQIA+ people who have been put out on the street. Staff hours are held by volunteers.
It also runs a community bar, puts on gatherings, debates and talks, and organises the Nice Rainbow Festival. If something goes wrong on a trip, this is the address to have.
