View of the Lympia harbor at the end of the Promenade des Anglais. A seaside scene enlivened by the triathlon taking place that day. Here's Tanguy Labertrande doing a bunny hop barspin.

L’Ile d’Or, the private island in Saint-Raphael featured in the "Black Island" album of Herge, the famous cartoonist, creator of The Adventure of Tintin/ by Hergé. A must-see place for a two-wheeled adventurer.

Two cyclists by the side of the road watching this unorthodox form of sport. No doubt they are enjoying the performance.

We waited until the market closed at 5.30 pm to find a new use for this railing on the market square in Villefranche-sur-Mer.
