| Have I mentioned that the bird of paradise is apparently the national flower of the Cote d'Azur? Seen here in the garden of the Massena Museum |
 |
| Another view of the Negresco: other than being a guest, the only way to see the inside is to eat at one of the restaurants, which are generally fully booked |
 |
| What one might expect to see |
 |
| Vicki on one of the blue chairs |
 |
| The Nice Casino is one of the better art deco buildings |
 |
| Closer up |
 |
| Monument to the victims of the jihadist attack on July 14, 2016... more than 80 killed and 400 injured...right on the Promenade |
 |
| Place Massena by night, with illuminated statues |
 |
| Thus |
 |
| The kiddie playground near us...all the play apparati are on a marine theme...here the giant octopi |
 |
| Giant whale slide |
 |
| Whale tail swings and tortoise beyond |
 |
| Now at the market by the old Gare Sud..."the Peoples' market"...Fleurs des courgettes...flowers of squash...springtime specialty, edible, in a variety of dishes |
 |
| Extremely rare albino sunflowers |
 |
| Very interesting market...perhaps the largest veggie market we've seen, but, only produce, flowers and seafood, at least this day...no cheese, meat, poultry, bread, spices, wines, clothes, antiques, brocante, housewares, crap |
 |
| The seafood vendors went on for a block...with fish and oysters from the Channel as well as all the expected Mediterranean species |
 |
| Soon to be on The Way |
 |
| Why I don't eat bouillabaise on the Mediterranean |
 |
| The old Gare Sud is mostly a food court now, but also a library...here, an interesting but unidentified statue |
 |
| The food court |

| Gare Sud |

| Late bloomers finally leafing out |
