24 September 2025 Nice: Hanging Close to Home

 


Kristine and Dave both had some respiratory distress, irritated throat and sneezing.  Dave investigated the room and found that the AC vents were packed heavy with dust.  We took it easy and stayed close to home.  Since ice cream is great for soothing a sore throat we hit the gelato shop.  There was a wide selection of tasty gelatos to choose from.  We hit the Lidl grocery which was close and we also peeked into a church along the way.  The walk was to the west along the promenade, a section of town we had not yet been to.  We cooked dinner at the house and took it easy in preparation for a more vigorous day tomorrow at Eze.


A nice Nice sunrise


Hashtag!


Quite the mess!


Three distinct bands of blue water


Now that we have seen the airport from up high we now know where to look


A roller balder taking a picture of a bronze circle in the pavement.  Is it a cool plaque?  Did he just trip over it?


The tree trimming continues in force


Rocks were arranged on the beach


It was mostly in French but "Stop War Dead"," Love & Peace" were in English


A massive undertaking


The tropical climate shows in the vegetation


Parking mishaps


Grand buildings abound


A door, a door knocker and lockers?


What is this in the crack of the building?


It is a lady


Half in and half out


Love gelato!


Strawberry and blackcurrant


Stopped into a church, we passed along the way


Clean lines 


Shiny chandelier 


The spotlight is on 


Mushrooms in a jar with mushroom lids


This is not even considered the old town


This gorilla had bling


A great stroll back through the neighborhood 


Passing the Negresco, we see the art on display outside


This museum has some fancy gates


Delightful Museum Massena


More art on the promenade


This chicken is very "handy"
