Cannes: Palm Beach


Being completely out of Nice photos I thought I'd share the last of my Cannes ones. I took this 2 weeks ago on a Sunday morning. You can see across the bay of Cannes to the Palais des Festivals where the film festival is held, and the hills behind. The Croisette, Cannes's equivalent of the Promenade des Anglais, follows the curve of the bay and is definitely the place to see or be seen..

Palm Beach


This bike marked the turning point on my Sunday walk. I assumed it must belong to the boat owner but there was no one about. I could have done with a bike to get me back to the car as, lulled by the sun and the fresh air, I'd walked further than I'd intended.

Footprints in the Sand


This is still Palm Beach, Cannes. The beaches in Nice are all pebbles and shingle so it's pleasant to take a walk along a sandy beach for a change. Although I was out early I wasn't the first to enjoy the pristine sand..

Avenue of Palms

We're moving west along the Riviera today and have ended up in Cannes which was so lovely this morning I felt I'd like to share. This is in the Palm Beach area at the end of the Croisette; it's a splendid walk along the sea..

On Friday Olivier tagged me to reveal 5 secrets about myself so without further ado here we go:

1. My mother, sister, brothers and I live in 5 different countries on 3 continents which is tough on mum.
2. I go for a walk on 6 days a week usually with my dogs.
3. I have thick, frizzy hair which I've spent lots of money trying to straighten but now I have learned to live with it as it is.
4. I love salads but if you offer me a choice between anything at all with sugar in it and the most magnificent salad I will always choose the sugar..
5. I hate flying. Every trip is an agony of terror and/or sedation..

So now comes the tricky part. Who would like to play? I'll nominate:
1. Catherine in Paris
2. Hilda in Manila
3. Bibi in Belgrade
4. Jilly in Monaco/Monte Carlo
5. Walker in San Diego
