Winter in the South of France II

On Sunday we went down to Cannes and had a look at what was happening at the MIDEM festival. The weather was just perfect and we had lunch at the beach.
Later we drove back around the Cap d´Antibes.

Monday morning we visited the antique market in Nice which is always very interesting and fun. I love to make photos of the old teddy bears.





We had a little breakfast there and later we bought some groceries at the Geant market. This is really impressive and has dimensions like supermarkets in the US.


In the afternoon we went hiking with Balou down Sentier la Brague. Thank god the goats were inside this time. Later we walked to Biot and had a drink at the piazza.

Antibes market


Today we went to Antibes to buy some groceries at the beautiful market and then to Cannes again and took a boat to the Lerins Island of St. Honorat. I have been here the last time when I was a little child. It was very peaceful and quiet because there are no tourists at this time of the year.

It was a bit cold though and lots of clouds in the sky. At least it was not raining.


Beside the old and new monastery there are plenty of little chappels on the island.
