Nice......nice!

We strolled around the book markets and the flowers markets.








I bought 12 lamps, which is a bit of a record, even for me, but it's ok, it was a nice old picture of twelve old lamps, more acceptable to Alex and easier to carry home than the many other lamps I have purchased around the world;)

And another stroll along the 'om prom prom' Promenade Anglais, where we finally felt that we were on the French Riveria - apart from we were fully dressed, unlike some of the more, shall we say, mature, 'sun kissed' inhabitants of Nice taking in the rays that day.







We found a new meaning to the phrase, 'I'm double parked'...!!!




We enjoyed the atmosphere of the square, where there was a band playing, (on wheels!) in a four days of free classical music event around the city.




And check out the beautiful architecture of the buildings - no, look a bit closer, the window and shutters are the only part that is real, the rest is all painted on, around the whole square - incredible!







And we enjoyed the early evening Christmas lights.







And I enjoyed the beautiful shops, just from afar...







Nice - sophisticated, cosmopolitan, buzzing - nice!
