Nothing to do with any political inclination. Well at least on the fueller side.
A european law regulates where fuel can be stored, in Nice ( telluric area) there is no underground piping , leading to refuel with trucks. Fuel is coming from 200 Km away, and fuel trucks cannot drive with JEt A1 on week ends. As a consequence, fuel shortage can occur on specific times. But see, you had fuel, so the girl was right, had you showed up the day of departure , your boss would have loved the 5 hours on the ground.
Fueller are running in 12 hours shifts 24/7 at night there is a 3 hours coordination time frame. Everything is published, you have to read, I believed you read the Aiport specific training to get into Nice ? Insurance do not cover the operation on overtime frame; do you want to be refuelled with no insurance ? I do not think so.
125 Euro taxi from Nice to Cannes !! LoL they saw you coming, you must have had a good attitude...

I always found that filing my flightplans exactly 120hours prior to COBT worked especially when you coincidentally filed your flight plans to give you an ETA that landed within the first 6 mins of each hour as they are limited to 10 IFR mvmnts each hour

It could have been a good trick last year but not anymore now with the coordination; the frame is exactly at 00, 15, 30 , 45 for arrivals and 10, 20, 30 , 40 , 50, 00 for departures to a maximum of 9 movements per hour. As a consequence you can only have a 1440 departure slot and not a 1445 ( it does not exist). Your FPL HAS TO BE FILED for your slot time on departure and EOBT+Ftime on ARRIVAL. If not , on the data analysis at the end of the year, your flights would show non-compliants, and you will go to the cash stop...
For the reverses; it is just an heads up for the coming noise regulation, France commit itself into a "green" political behaviour, and vote laws for noise deviations, the tool exists now, therefore it will be implemented in Cannes.
Same for the track monitoring and associated noise foot print, read carefuly the Jepps, watch out for a specific briefing required, with pilot license number etc, mandatory before operating in Cannes..scheduled by year end..
