Corniches, Lower, Middle, Superieur

And, the next day, we drove from Nice to Menton, on the Italian border, traveling a bit of the lower and middle Corniches to Menton, then the superior Corniche back to Nice. We really like this part of the world. Who wouldn't?!

The harbor at Villefranche

Monte Carlo

Menton

More Menton, Italy in the distance, where the high bridges

enter the tunnels, then emerge onto high bridges...

A nice apartment building overlooking

Menton, where we had lunch; great view,

lots of road noise, especially as the

Lamborghinis and Lotuses downshift...

Never far away, a gun emplacement, trained on Italy,

which "stabbed its neighbor in the back" (FDR) in 1940

Monte Carlo again

In La Turbie, on the Corniche Superieur, the Trophy of the

Alps, presented by the Senate and People of Rome to the

new Emperor, Augustus, celebrating his conquest of the 40

nasty Alpine tribes

Returning to Nice, from the northwest
