An alternative view
This is a view of Menton I've not shown before. You've seen the beautiful facade of the Old Town with its jumble of houses HERE. This photograph is taken from the other side - the steeples will give you your bearings. The long double-roofed building in the foreground is the Moorish style market - again, you can see details of that HERE.
In front of the market building - amongst all those palm trees is where the Menton Boules Club have their premises. There is much consternation at the moment because this area is where the Mairie plan to build a Museum to Jean Cocteau following a generous bequest by (I believe) an American collector. The Boules club is waiting to hear of an alternative site for their club.
Come back tomorrow when you'll see a gift I have for Isabella from Naples Daily Photo. Don't forget!

ReplyDeleteCertainly there will be a wonderful spot for boules. It wouldn't be France without boules.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Cocteau is a great attraction too.

Lovely place - nice photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view! Lovely buildings in the foreground, a grand mountain in the background. In another thirty years, maybe I will retire here, too!
