Beach party

Beach party at Restaurant le Lamparo, Plage Marquet, Cap d'Ail last night.

'De l'Inutile a l'essentiel.'

Last night there was a large crowd for the vernissage in Cap d'Ail of Maxime Peregrini's and Barbara Lecomte's beautiful book 'De l'Inutile a l'essentiel.' 

Each page of the book and each display in this exhibition features one of Maxime's photos from New York City and one of Barbara's from India.  Each duo of photos displaying so beautifully the differences and the similarities in each culture.

Bravo to Maxime and Barbara - beautiful work!

The exhibition continues until the 22nd July at the Chateau des Terrasses at Cap d'Ail, just along the coast from Monaco.

Goodbye Winter Sporting ...

Come to Monte Carlo and take the tourist train ... and view the destruction!   This is the back of what was the beautiful art deco Winter Sporting. Almost gone now ...

Music and Photography

Today is the last day of an exhibition of beautiful black and white photography at Theoule sur Mer, which is just along the coast from Monaco - a charming seaside town, with gorgeous sandy beaches and an easy way of life, quite different to Monte Carlo.   Yesterday, one of the visitors, treated everyone to a virtuoso performance of piano.  In fact, she is a flautist with the Cannes orchestra.

The exhibition is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Espace Culturel, Theoule-Sur-Mer.

Bus Step

Boarding the bus in Monte Carlo.  Monaco has a really good bus service.

Fame at last!
