Après-Midi Recap

Hosting the event in Adrian’s absence was Ella Dyer (and her partner, Simone).

Adrian’s absence was only the second time since 2003 that she missed the monthly event. She was spending the month of November in Maui with her daughter who delivered her first child. Ella came from Nice to be our special guest.

Ella, author of Nice in Nice: The day-to-day musings of a middle-aged housewife living “part-time” in the South of France, Ella Dyer is fond of saying “A lifetime in Nice is never enough!” (Get Nice is Nice on Amazon)

Over the past 45 years, Ella Dyer’s varied career path has taken her from working at the Playboy Mansion to earning an MBA from The International University of Monaco. She and her husband of nearly 35 years, Jody, found their apartment in Nice before the introduction of the Euro. During her time on the Riviera, she focuses on helping others learn about and live with gusto on the Côte d’Azur. She is the founder of Meet the Authors, an annual event that highlights both local and international writers with a connection to France and in particular the Côte d’Azur. A member of various business, social and networking groups on the Riviera, she is also a founding member of the Junior League de la Côte d’Azur, the first chapter of this 120 + years-old international volunteer organization. Ella is the Adrian Leeds Group’s senior Property Consultant on the Riviera and proves that Nice is nice by often taking the role as the welcome committee for our clients and friends who chose to visit or live in or near Nice.
