... and G@tto went south !

See what I mean ?




The Promenade, then the Cour Saleya and then... yum yum !
____

Running after the sun...

Well, it's definitely time to go south !




The weather forecast and these pictures speak by themselves.

Paris > and Nice >

And a tanned G@tto will be back to you around October 20th.

A dive in Nice "Vièia Vila" Atmosphere...

The "Old Nice" district lays between the Place Garibaldi (north), the Castle
Hill (east), the Espace Masséna (west) and the coastline (south).

Snake with G@tto along the ruelles du vieux quartier...

















The French Riviera Traveller says : "With its narrow, shadowy streets, cozy
squares, colourful markets, baroque churches and jumble of pastel houses,
Vieux Nice looks and feels much as it must have about two centuries ago.
The sounds are different though, at least at night when music from the bars
and nightclubs fills the air with rhythm.
The bustle of tourists and shoppers is replaced by teams of young clubbers
prowling the streets for the latest hangout. Especially on summer evenings,
the Old Town resembles a vast open-air party".


One more time, the open air market on the Cours Saleya is gone...


... and the hose-man is cleaning the place.









Farewell Nice, farewell the French Riviera...
G@tto's planning to move somewhere,
on the coast, in a few years !
