Coffee

How I wish they had a Nespresso shop in Monaco or Menton.  In fact the nearest is Nice. Love all the colours and that you can order a variety of coffee that isn't sold on their internet site.  After I'd ordered, I noticed a chocolate and ginger coffee - so I must go back ...

Sunset at the Coulée Verte

The 'coulée verte' (green corridor) in Nice is a dream for photographers.  Here it is at sunset.

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.
