Month: February 2012

Another beautiful day so took another trip inland to Peillon , a fabulous perched medieval village. Hairpin bends all the way up from the floor of the Paillon Valley. (spellings are correct) . The village has a church at the very top and a chapel at the base , both were closed .
Stunning views again towards the coast.

The perched village of Peillon

L’eglise

Chapelle des Penitents Blancs with it’s very old and rather deteriorated frescoes completed by some Italian.

Great but rather misty views towards the coast.

Richard and Joelle coming tonight for a bit of supper so did a little prep.

Beautiful day so decided to head inland just a little a way and went for a 2 hour walk on the ” Tour du Mont Gros” which is behind Cap Martin near Menton.

Cap Martin in the foreground, Menton in the middle and Ventimille in Italy in the distance.

On the other side of the ” Mont” super views over Monaco.

We are at our apartment in Nice for a week just because !

We have hired a car this time so we can get out of town a bit more and do a bit of walking in the mountains assuming the weather is OK . The forecasts seems to be good.

Ron popped in this morning with croissants and with his SA photo album under his arm. Great photos of their trip.

Shopped at Geant for the weeks indulgence ( Irene spied some Foie Gras so had to purchase) .

Walked along Cagne Sur Mer promenade for an hour and finished off with a beer for Me and Jasmine tea for Er.

With a Grappa in hand I will sign off.
