Super Cars - the Zenvo (2)


Here's the Zenvo Supercar we saw yesterday, alongside a black one.  Note the photographer lying on the ground to get the right shot.  This was taken from the 19th floor of the apartment building opposite.

Super Cars - the Zenvo


The exhibition 'Top Marques' finished on Sunday and so yesterday in Monaco, everywhere you looked supercars were having their photographs taken.

This is the Zenvo - a Danish-built car and a snip if you've around a million dollars US.  (some websites show it costing less, some more) and I believe a $50,000 watch is thrown in ...  I guess if you have to ask you can't afford it!

The Bull's Sore Leg


Ooops! Looks like the bull in the carousel in the children's playground in Fontvieille won't be going far!

This is the cafe outside the Carrefour shopping centre in Fontvieille.

Ladurée means macarons! This is their shop in the Metropole Centre.

The Window Cleaner ...


Reflections at the Metropole Centre.  Can you spot the window cleaner?

Promenade with palms


This is the promenade that runs from Avenue Princesse Grace around the back of the Grimaldi Forum.  To our left (out of the picture) is Larvotto beach.  People run, dogs get walked, kids rollerblade along here.

Monaco Grand Prix - No Pedestrian Crossing


Preparations for the Monaco Grand Prix means the road, which of course becomes the race track, has been re-surfaced - hence these school kids are walking across a pedestrian crossing that at the moment isn't!  You can see where the lines have been drawn to eventually paint in the white zebra stripes.

Perhaps the guy in the background is calling her!

Lanvin boxes


Rubbish outside the Lanvin shop in Casino Square.

Aren't they nice boxes!   If I hadn't been laden with camera and bag, I'd have brought them home to use as shoe boxes (which presumably they are) or to file something.

Women are obviously covering their faces this spring ...

Monte Carlo Railway Station 2


Doubtless a boring photo if you live in Monaco and know the railway station,  but if not, here it is.

People and phones


Metropole Centre

With their eyes fixed on their phones, people are so easy to snap these days.

Fit and Zen


Keeping fit.  This lady is running along Avenue d'Alsace, which is opposite the entrance to Monaco's railway station - but is in Beausoleil, and therefore France.

Breakfast Meeting


Marble floors, marble walls, a sweeping staircase, a towering plant pot, beautiful art on the walls - this is the cafe on the lowest floor of the Metropole centre.  A good place for a breakfast business meeting.

If you want to meet people, buy a dog!

Life's a Beach


It could be a desert island, couldn't it? In fact, it's Larvotto Beach in Monaco.

It's getting nearer to beach weather at Larvotto.

Combat Naval Fleuri - our Last Day


A cheeky 'goodbye' from Villefranche-Sur-Mer.

Combat Naval Fleuri - the Day's Haul


It's the end of the day, the Naval Battle of the Flowers is over and this young man has quite a haul of mimosa and carnations to take home.

Combat Naval Fleuri - Concentration


Such concentration on the face of a child. She's looking at the many flowers that are floating in the sea after the Naval Battle of the Flowers in Villefranche-Sur-Mer.

Ferrari watching ...


You'd think, with all the Ferraris you see in Monaco and along the Cote d'Azur that people would ignore  them.  Not so. Everyone eating in the celebrated La Mere Germaine in Villefranche-Sur-Mer  is intrigued by either the car or the driver.

Another Red Lady


This is a photo I took in March 2011 at the Fete du Citron in Menton - almost the same outfit as the 'red lady' yesterday - different performer.

Combat Naval Fleuri - Mimosa Man!


Sometimes you take a photo and don't notice the detail until you see it on screen - like this guy's mischievous eyes ...

Combat Naval Fleuri - Lunch for Three


Quite rightly, the beautiful golden retriever is welcome at this restaurant in the port of Villefranche-Sur-Mer.

Combat Naval Fleuri - Siesta


For some people it all got too much - time for a siesta.

Combat Naval Fleuri - the Woman in Red


You never known who might sit down next to you at a carnival!

Combat Naval Fleuri - the Feminine Side



Don't you just love a policeman with a sprig of mimosa in his hand?

Combat Naval Fleuri - the Girls!


It wouldn't be a festival in France without the girls!

Combat Naval Fleuri - Time for Lunch


This is a photo I took earlier in the day.  The boats are decorated and ready for the 'battle' which starts at 14h.30.

So ... time for lunch.  Pretty spectacular view, wouldn't you say?
