Some photos of Nice

[Olivier]

Here are some photos of Nice (not all taken the same day) which is the largest city in the Côte d'Azur/French riviera. Unlike for Palma, I live not far from Nice so if you have questions, I should be able to answer you :)

"Marina, baie des anges", a strange building that looks like angels wings from aerial vue. It's between Antibes and Nice on the coastal road. It was taken during the winter and you can see the snow on the mountains in the background. It's a nice area as we have the sea during summer and mountains for skying during winter.

"Promenade des Anglais" It is the main coastal road/side walk in Nice.

The ferry boats there are the ones going to Corsica. It takes a few hours to go there.

Thank you!
How was it there? I drove often near that building and have always wondered what kind of view you have from there. Some appartments there have pretty large balconies :)
I have a bad photo (taken from airplane of that Baie des Anges) taken last December:

It took me a while to find out what was wrong as they were working on Boxerworld! It was a httaccess blocking "hot linking" from outside the boxerworld.com domain name. I added bulldogworld.com so it works fine now :)
That's because there were many people linking some photos and it was costing in bandwidth.
The beach there is not confortable at all :D
As for the bombing, it still happens sometimes but usually it is only against public buildings like tax collection etc and they usually warn before the explosion. That said, it's inacceptable!

I found another photo taken from the airplane and you can see pretty well that strange building:
