Doesn't appear to be many "limousines" in Limousin.
I know a lot of rich people from around the world have homes in the south of France. And of course there are the resorts that cater to them. But I think there are a number of "banlieues" in the south of France, too.

There are "banlieues" everywhere in most big French cities, it's not reserved to Paris. Why you seemed surprised ?
And I guess rich people go to the south because of the climate, or things like that.
I believe there was no Italy back then, so it was probably part of some realm I don't quite know, savoia, piedmont? I don't know. But personally, I don't think that Nice, Niça, etc, looks Italian. The promenade des anglais, the architecture... and the order, not an anarchic Italian city. Does not look like Italian cities just across the frontier, vintimiglia, etc. The main feature is that the city has been receiving tourists since the 18th century, English tourists, and in a way, my opinion, they somehow imprinted some character, the character of tipical luxury resorts but with palm trees..brighton, san sebastian, etc.
Montecarlo does not look very Italian either.
Both Nice (Nizza) and Montecarlo were founded by Italians and have a distinct Italian touch: Nice has been under French control for over 150 years and Montecarlo is a place of its own.

In the 1970s, the Rolling Stones moved to France as tax exiles.
Yeah they sure have a distinct Italian touch... meh.
Given you don't know for your own admission Italy and its culture, that you rarely get out of your house (for you own admission) and that you don't live in Nice (for your own admission), I guess you aren't really the best person to just dismiss someone else's opinion with "...meh".

. It's like Champagne, you know, it's not because a place gave its name to a thing that this thing is more common in this special place.
