Eze Village - Place Francis Blanche


A pretty corner in Eze village.

It is named after Francis Blanche (1921-1974) who was an actor, author and apparently the first person to hoax people by telephone - something he did on a radio show. He is buried in Eze.

Lovers' Lookout


There I was photographing the German Shepherd and somehow the young lovers crept into the photo.  The bench is on the Sentier Nietsche - this is the walk that goes from Eze village way down the hillside to Eze Bord de Mer.  The beautiful German Shepherd is Roxanne and she's 8 years old.  You can see a close up of Roxanne at Riviera Dogs.

Eze Village - Le Mas Provençal


You enter a world of flowers when you go to the beautiful Mas Provençal in Eze village.  I was invited to dine there yesterday by my dear friend Lynn Espie. She and her delightful granddaughter, Aimée are over from New Zealand, where Lynn will judge next weekend at the Euro-OES-Show near Lyon.  For those who don't know, OES stands for Old English Sheepdogs - the breed I used to breed, show and judge. 

Thanks dear Lynn for a fabulous fabulous evening. What a great time we had. Love you!

Monaco Grand Prix - a seat in the stalls ...


If you are in Monaco today - Grand Prix time! - this is one of the places from which you might decide to watch the race.  We're in Casino Square - the cars whizz up from the port, past where you are sitting and on down to the hair-pin bends of Loew's Casino.  The concave/convex mirror is called Sky Mirror by Anish Kapoor and is reflecting the casino building.

Monaco Historic Grand Prix - Ferrari 246


Monaco Grand Prix this weekend!  Well obviously this Ferrari 246 isn't taking part but it did two weeks ago at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix when it was placed 5th in its class. It's owned by Tony Smith, manager of Genesis.

This car is one of five produced in 1960 and was driven by Phil Hill. Another claim to fame is that this was the last model of Ferrari before the rear engines came in following the success of the Coopers.

Living in a Science Fiction film ...


If you take the lift from opposite Monaco's market down to Fontvieille, you end up on this walkway, which has been cut deep into the rock - it leads to the Carrefour shopping centre. For a moment, you feel as if you are in a magic grotto or a science fiction film ...

Grand Prix - Fencing and Ferraris


Even the Casino is fenced off at Grand Prix time.  Of course it doesn't stop the obligatory Ferrari being parked in front of its doors.

Grand Prix - Fenced in


Almost Monaco Grand Prix time - next weekend. And so Monaco is encased in its ring of steel. Here the Cafe de Paris on the left and the Casino in the distance are fenced in with gates for people to walk through.
