Wireless access in France?

This may be a really silly question, but I wonder about the wireless internet access availability in Southern France. Although I know rural US would have very little wireless availability, I have heard that other countries are way ahead of the US in providing wireless access community-wide, so I thought it was worth a shot to ask those who may know. I will be traveling to the area around Nice in a few weeks. Just wondering. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.

The Nice airport has WiFi access for about 8€ an hour.

Here are two restos that offer free access--you'll need to buy a drink or meal--that I learned about on riviera.angloinfo.com:

Le Queenie
19 Promenade des Anglais

Florida Plage
(3€ entrance fee)
71 Promenade des Anglais

And there's always McDonald's:

McDonald's
606 route Grenoble

McDonald's
15 boulevard Delfino

McDonald's
47bis avenue Jean Medecin

RLUCIDO, you might stumble on an unprotected wireless network. We had a choice of three during our stay in a hotel in Paris in May. My wife was back in an apartment in Paris in August and found a wireless network there, too.

I realize Paris isn't the south of France, but ...

There is wireless access in nearly all of France, including the south. Free wireless is another question.
