Nice en novembre

NICE

Nice, sea, beach, quai, etc


On the Promenade des Anglais







Looking towards the Place Massena a central square, and area with lots of shopping, a mall, etc.


Yours Truly in the street behind the Cours Saleya
(market square/street)


The gulls are hoping to catch some of the fish for sell under the tent.

Nice Harbor



"Fish for sell in the morning"

Cours Saleya in the morning when they are still setting up the market.

Salt vendor - they had more variations of salt than I knew existed such as rose salt (with dried roses in it, and a black salt)

Russian Orthodox Cathedral


CANNES

Cannes Harbor

Cannes beach and promenade

This sand sculputre was enormous and very elaborate. Really cool.

Lunch on the beach--anyone?


View across from the promenade at the luxury boutiques on the other side.

Film Festival building...this is the more industrial side, but it gives the best feeling of the scope and architecture of the building.

They had several different ones of these in the park around the film festival building. The caption on the bottom says "Smile, you in Cannes". :)

I love the very first picture of Nice, it looks like a painting. I would LOVE to have access to fresh seafood caught that day! Eat it up! It's good for you ;) I wish there were european markets here...:(

I hear you about the european markets, I was curious to see if they weren't around in the winter because of the cold, but so far they operate as normal...meaning pretty much all the time...sigh. :)
