Sunny days on the Côte d’Azur

Well, the sun has been out for the last few days of our stay here in Tourrette. On Monday afternoon, Chicken and I were given a lift to spend an hour or so in Cannes (the one place, other than Grasse, still on my ‘tourist list’ of places yet to visit). We walked along the promenade to look at the scary brown ladies and posh hotels before going to the Palais des Festivals (home to the film festival annually) and viewing the hand prints of the likes of Gregory Peck and Ken Loach. Like Monaco, Cannes is good to visit but a bit strange, over-tanned and over priced! Nice is much nicer, and that is where we went yesterday. We caught the bus down, which took an unusually long time (nearly an hour and a half) although the Promenade des Anglais was surprisingly empty! |
