Peille


Sometimes it's nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of Monaco and take a short trip into the mountains.  So leave your Louboutins behind and let's spend a while exploring the magic that is Peille. The medieval village is 630 metres above sea level and only 25 kilometres from Monaco.

We'll walk its ancient streets on stones weathered by time, wind our way through vaulted passageways, have a coffee in a magical square and doubtless fall in love with this beautiful village.

The sign, as you enter the village, says 'Peille, the most curious village in the Alpes-Martimes.'

More tomorrow ...

Lunch on a Bench


The casino gardens, lunch on a bench and a chat with friends before going back to work.  Not a bad way to spend your lunch break.

The dark green area in the background is part of the enormous fence that blocks off the centre of the gardens whilst construction goes on for the new shopping centre.  Oh dear ...

Swimming in November


We've had glorious weather lately, although the meteo says we may have rain today.

Bit chilly for swimming though?

Craned reflet


Everywhere you look in the casino area at the moment, you'll see a mass of building work going on. Even the windows reflect the cranes.

The White Line


Steps leading up to the Hotel de Paris.  Is that a ladder I see in her stocking? ...

Almost no one on Larvotto beach but the sunbeds make a pretty pattern, don't you think?

Diamonds and Crosses


Seen in Monte Carlo yesterday. Are these stockings (or tights) trying to copy the design on the Louis Vuitton handbag?

Folon's The Fountain of the Birds


Jean-Michel Folon's La Fontaine aux Oiseaux is a sculpture I've always loved and we've seen it before but taken from the other side of this street - so here it is from back.  It stands on le rocher.

Skinny People


If you are having a 'fat' day,  just look at your reflection in one of the curved glass doors alongside the casino!

Reflection at Dusk


A corner of Fontvieille at dusk.  Fontvieille is the area of Monaco reclaimed from the sea.

This was taken from outside the palace on the 'rocher.'

Concentration


I couldn't decide which photo to show you today so I'll show you a photo of a girl, at a bar on le rocher,  doing what we all spend too much time doing - staring at a computer screen.
