Coffee

How I wish they had a Nespresso shop in Monaco or Menton.  In fact the nearest is Nice. Love all the colours and that you can order a variety of coffee that isn't sold on their internet site.  After I'd ordered, I noticed a chocolate and ginger coffee - so I must go back ...

Sunset at the Coulée Verte

The 'coulée verte' (green corridor) in Nice is a dream for photographers.  Here it is at sunset.

Coulée Verte, Nice

The kids have such fun at the Coulée Verte in Nice - and so do the photographers who love the water and steam and light and shadows!

Nice Street - 2

All you need is love ...

Nice Street

We're in Nice today ... Avenue Jean Medecin.

Mist is fun!

Such fun to be had at the Coulée Verte in Nice.

Crystals for Christmas

To my dear friends and readers of this blog, I send you a million crystals from the lights of Nice for Christmas.  May you have a day filled with peace and love.

Jump!

We're in Nice today to visit the Christmas lights. This is my fabulous friend, Emmanuelle, jumping in front of a replica of what was once Nice's crystal casino - a pier, built over the sea and finished in 1891. The pier was closed in 1942 and stripped of its valuable metals, copper, brass, bronze and electric wiring, to be used by the German army.

Rigatoni La Voglia

Memories of a great birthday lunch on Rue Saint Francois in Nice in October.  This delicious dish is "Rigatoni La Voglia" at La Voglia.

Thank you again to Sylvie, Emma and Guillaume and Patrick and his beautiful 4L.  How lucky I am to have such wonderful friends.

Nice, not Monaco!

Don't panic! This isn't Monte Carlo!  It's Nice yesterday where police were out in force to prevent a 'Free Palaestine' protest from entering Avenue Jean-Médecin.
