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.

Combat Naval Fleuri - Time for Lunch

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

Combat Naval Fleuri - the Gorilla
The sun shone and the gorilla had the best seat in the house! What a fabulous day in Villefranche sur Mer, with my friend Sylvie, for the Combat Naval Fleuri (Naval Battle of the Flowers). The boats (these are called pointu) take off for a parade around the port.

Rained out at Villefranche sur Mer - the Fish and the Car
Depite the rain, two of the boats were already in process of decoration - one with a fish and another with a car.
The festival is due to take place today with hopefully better weather than Monday when it had ot be postponed due to rain.
More tomorrow ...
