A Postcard From Nice...

I took a plane a few days ago from Nice (France) to Austin (Texas). Since I was delayed a bit, I had a few days to stroll around my city...

Fresh coat of paint on a classic fishing boat in the Port of Nice.
"Les Pointus" (pointy boats) - I would love to own one sometime in the near future...
Nice is surrounded by mountains which help maintain a splendid climate all year long.
Russians, English, poets, and artists have made this heaven their home for centuries.
Many vestiges of this glorious past overlook the bay.
The chateau from Cocteau's "La Belle et la Bete".


The Port of Nice.

Sur la mer...

Pin Parasol (umbrella pine).

The old "Plongeoir" (diving board).
Seaside route.

Ship in the Port of Nice.

Soaking up some rays...

Chateau.
Building in the Vieux Nice (Old Town).

Facade nicoise.
A la prochaine...

Do you have any favorite promenades you've made on the French Riviera?
