Almost Nice: Antibes 2

This is the view looking in the opposite direction to yesterday's photo but on a different day! I took this last September though, and you'll have to trust me here, nothing much has changed since.
There's a lovely walk that skirts the ramparts of the old town past the Church and the Picasso Museum which you can see on the left. I took my daughter for a visit but we arrived too late and the museum was closing for a two hour lunch break...in the height of the tourist season.
This closing for lunch thing seems so last century but I guess it encourages people to eat in restaurants and since the introduction of the 35 hour working week also allows businesses to economise on their number of employees.
