Cap d'Antibes
One hour after landing I was already there watching the waves. And what waves they were!

You would think that you'd be safe on the path, up there.
Tête de Faune Chevelu
A hairy faun head in Picasso's museum in Antibes. This is one of the best paintings there.
Nature morte a la sole et aux trois oursins
Most of the drawings/paintings in the Picasso Museum are like this. Maybe I don't get art, but I have dozens of very similar drawings from my kids.
La Joie de Vivre
This is (apparently) a parody of Matisse's work with the same name. I, however, have troubles seeing the resemblance...

One of the lovely streets in the old Antibes.

Some tiles on an old building in Antibes. Rue du Haut Castelet.

I Love Nice
Hermes
These Hermes perfume bottles remind me of Magritte's The Son of Man.
La mer
Le Nomade
Le Nomade (by Jaume Plensa) is still there. Still lonely.
Flowers in Antibes
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Biot
A very picturesque house in central Biot. A lovely detail is the missing paint on 'dog's corner' ;-)
Théoule-sur-Mer
We're reminded to take care of the environment on (almost) every step.
View towards Cannes
View towards Cannes with Alpes-Maritimes (Mercantour National Park) in the background. Quite lousy visibility due to humidity and Sahara sand.
La pointe de l'Aiguille
Super windy and almost stormy weather. But a lovely day to walk to the Pointe de l'Aiguille.
La pointe de l'Aiguille
Now this is a magic place. Beautiful. Red. And windy.

Valbonne
Super-cute doors in Valbonne. The world would be a friendlier place with more doors like this.
Les Arlequins by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Les Arlequins (1922-1944), detail. I kind of like the detached leg.
Le Cirque Bleu by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Cirque Bleu (1950-1952), detail. Moon playing a violin, but of course.
La Création de l'homme by Chagall
Marc Chagall, The Creation of Man (1956-1958).
Le Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Paradis (1961). Eve's creation on the left and the Temptation on the right.
Adam et Ève Chassés du Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961). Self-portrait in the top right corner. Animals look away but the mother with the child "confirms this rather optimistic vision of the Sin".
La Rose Bleue by Chagall
Marc Chagall, La Rose Bleue (1964).
Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). A superb depiction of La promenade des Anglais. And a superb tapestry.
Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
A tapestry by Chagall (1971). He claimed he was born for the second time once he moved to Côte d'Azur (Vence). The left sun is above St. Paul de Vence and the right sun above Nice.
Blue!
The Creation of the World, stained glass window. By Chagall, of course. Not many artists get to co-create their own galleries.
La Création de l'homme by Chagall
Marc Chagall, The Creation of Man (1956-1958), detail. And just like that, there's someone hanging upside-down on a pole, while God is creating Adam.
Le Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Le Paradis (1961), detail. The Temptation of Adam and Eve. This is just beautiful.
Adam et Ève Chassés du Paradis by Chagall
Marc Chagall, Adam and Eve Expelled from Paradise (1961), detail. My favourite part of the painting.
Paysage Méditerranéen by Chagall
Detail of the Paysage Méditerranéen tapestry (1971). And again - a comforting mother with child in the bottom right corner.
La baie des Anges
Too many photos of the sea?
The waves!
Yes.
La plage des Ponchettes
Listening to the waves is probably the most relaxing thing.
La baie des Anges
So this is where the Angels are hiding ;-)

Yes, definitely too many photos of the sea.

What a lovely path running around the Cap.
My favourite mornings
Île Saint-Honorat
Île Saint-Honorat is the smaller of the Lerins islands. And visiting it off-season is just magical.

View from the island towards Massif de l'Esterel.
Île Saint-Honorat
Abbaye de Lérins
What a tranquil place.

This place puts your mind at rest.
The fortified monastery
Built in the 11th century and being rebuilt now.
Île Sainte-Marguerite
View of the Sainte Marguerite island. And the beautiful sea in between.
Le Nomade
I love the Nomade. The first time I saw him, I found the statue too static for a nomade. But now I can understand him. And I love him.
Le Nomade
So many so different pictures one can take with the Nomade.
