Meet Joël Garault, the talented Chef at the newly refurbished Vistamar restaurant in the Hotel Hermitage. As you see the restaurant has a modern feel to it and the food is delicious, as one would expect in a Michelin One Star restaurant.
Apologies for an image not quite as sharp as usual but I wanted you to see these two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels walking for No Finish Line.
Some people stroll, some jog and some, like this guy, take it very seriously. Look at his face in the smaller photo. So far as I can make out he finished 5th over all and ran for 190 kilometres. Makes me tired to even think about it. Good for him - he'll have raised a ton of money for No Finish Line and the charities.
You don't often see a convict, with a ball and chain, running around Port Hercule but this is No Finish Line and for that, anything can happen! No Finish Line is a charitable event where people walk, run, stroll around a circuit created at the port. 
I wonder if these children appreciate how privileged they are to go out on the water at Port Hercule as part of their education.
Our last day at the Riviera Palace and just a couple more details to show you. These balustrades are all that remain on this particular level. This is a colour you see often in the south of France.
A few last images of the inside of the magificent Riviera Palace. The main photo is taken through glass. 
If you want to see a part of the cupola from the outside you have to clamber up rather dodgy steps and then walk along this little path.
The renovation of the cupola was completed in 2003, paid for by the proprietors of the apartments, the Conseil General and the town of Beausoleil. In 2004 it won a special Jury Prize awarded by the Association of Historic French Houses. The gardens are cared for by student gardeners.
The Winter Garden is the heart of the Riviera Palace. These photos only show a part of it - more to come!
These beautiful windows line the main staircase of the Riviera Palace. Is that a goose or a swan?
We've taking a one-day break from our visit to the Riviera Palace to bring you a weather report...
This lovely old lift reminds me of those in old Paris hotels and apartment buildings.
The old Concierge's office looks unchanged since the building was opened in 1903.
The beautiful facade of the Riviera Palace. But look carefully (see last photo) and you'll see the plaster is crumbling and iron supports have rusted under the balconies.
