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.

Scene at Larvotto Beach

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.

Czarina

Covered in green

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.

Hotel de Paris, Monaco

A welcome over the entrance to the Hotel de Paris in Casino Square.

Like the Jacket!

I want that jacket!

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.

Red Tulips

Red tulips in front of the casino.

Personal Trainer

Push ...

Monte Carlo Dogs

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.

Dichotomy

Dichotomy in the Metropole Centre.

Walk on the beach

It's getting nearer to beach weather at Larvotto.

Surprise encounter ...

Fancy seeing you here!
