The town I loved so well | La Croisette by night_viewed from Le Suquet |
There I spent a beautiful schoolyear in my 18s, dreaming of singing, dancing and acting...
There I passed my driving licence: in the traffic jams on La Croisette at rush hours
There I met a Russian family from Kiev: that's why i can read and write and speak and sing a little Russian
There I sang (opera choir) at the Casino des Fleurs, which is on the pic, but doesn't exist anymore
There I enjoyed bathing in warm waters |
|  | lovely secret shores We used to sail to the Isles of LERINS : we could go for walks and have picnic lunches, and "farniente" (simply doing nothing but enjoying the place and the sun)
Bathing was not always a good idea: too many jellyfishes
Now the monastery is still there and they are stricter about the environment, I guess. |
Have you heard of "the Man in the Iron Mask"? this island used to be known as a prison:
In the fortress built in 1635, it is told that "the Man in the Iron Mask" was jailed here... | | |
