Scenes From Old Nice

It took us several tries to finish the Old Nice walk. Too many distractions: exotic/historic cars, the flower market, the antiques/brocante market, the best gelato shoppe ever, so far, old and famous shoppes selling olive oil, chocolates, and such, a great Nicean lunch, curiosities everywhere. In fact, the distractions were better than the "official" walk itself, which is often the case.

Tie shop...note bow ties on right
