It i...Jameson, no it doesn't stand out at all. It is completely hidden from view as you walk along the Promenade. Here's what to do. Walk as far as this building (click on link below).... (it's in the Menton direction from E.1027 of course)<br /><br />http://www.mentondailyphoto.com/2011/04/promenade-le-corbusier-villa-cypris.html<br /><br />You will see the rocks that stretch out into the sea - the tomb is in the middle of those. So walk past this building (under the walkway) and beyond there is a gate that leads down to these rocks. At this point, in the distance you should be able to detect what looks like a slab of concrete (this is the back of the tomb). You will need to clamber over the rocks to see the tomb from the front, and it's tricky. Those rocks are very pointy and you have to walk on the points. Take care especially with cameras around your neck. <br /><br />If you look at the third photo in the post about the tomb you can see the Villa Cypris building in the background which should give you an indication as to the tomb's position.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-37266662386703882692011-08-28T08:08:49.230+02:002011-08-28T08:08:49.230+02:00Hi Jilly,

Does it stand out a bit from the path? Is it easy enough to find?<br />Thank you.Jamesonhttp://www.gayniceblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-20797463713104666342011-04-27T17:02:14.226+02:002011-04-27T17:02:14.226+02:00Merci de nous faire découvrir cette tombe et cette...Merci de nous faire découvrir cette tombe et cette tragique histoire que j'ignorais totalement ! j'y penserai la prochaine fois que je ferai la promenade.Marniehttp://quidnovimarnie.canalblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38581932.post-85374792601427970942011-04-23T09:18:23.352+02:002011-04-23T09:18:23.352+02:00Jilly
