For this visit, and the previous one or two, we just wandered around, enjoying the abundant ambiance. And being back in France.
Heading for the old town, we first visited the large market |
Street scene |
Shoppes and restaurants in Nice have always struck us as among the more clever... |
Alley storeroom for a non-gluten-free restaurant |
In a cafe |
Grooming Nice's famed pebble beach |
Sweep of the bay out to the airport; Antibes in the far distance... |
Us, there |
Big city |
In the park, something about Ulysses, who was said to have sailed in these parts; nothing about Penelope, however |
Harbor with five-master we've seen at Amalfi and Capri; I think |
Art nouveau touches all over |
Lunch at the Bistro d'Antoine; another of Vicki's Michelin Red finds |
My anchovies |
Her duck |
My fish |
It was a pretty classy joint as bistros go, so we were astonished and amused to see Frisch's Big Boy by the bar; none of the staff knew what it was nor where it was from... |
Mannequin art, something I could get into |
"Trump is crazy" |
A city of wonderful ghost signs |
Cat shoppe |
Artistes' shoppe |
Gotta have one of these; definitely to visit the Charvin in Paris... |
Did I mention all the art nouveau in Nice? |
