Musée Chagall

Franchement, je n'ai jamais aimé Chagall ou, plus précisément, je ne lui avais jamais fait attention. Donc, c'est exactement pourquoi j'ai visité son musée à Nice -- pour découvrir ce grand chef d'art et ses oeuvres...

Ombrelles Bestagno

The dark weather here in Mississauga makes me want to revisit Ombrelles Bestagno in Vieux Nice, where I got my French-made umbrella as a souvenir of my visit to the Republic.

le MAMAC

Yves Klein. If you're remotely intersted in art, you can't get very far in Nice without eventually encountering the area-born artist. Here he is in all his Blue-Epoch Glory au Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain (MAMAC).

Marché des fleurs au Cours Saleya, l'Hotêl Negresco

Missing the Mediterranean sun today, so voilà un trop beau bouquet de fleurs au Marché des fleurs au Cours Saleya.

Ocean breathes salty

The sea is saltier than I remembered was comfortable...

Le Musée International d'Art Naïf Anatole Jakovsky

Haha, rain! Now that I've suited up with some rubber boots and a new French-made, French Bulldog umbrella, je m'en fiche, même s'il pleut! I just look ridiculous with my pattern on pattern on pattern ensemble, but you better bet I stay dry. Well, for the most part...

Despite the ocean being so near, I, surprisingly have yet to go for a swim. When I do though, it'll likely be here, in Villefranche or neghbouring Beaulieu.

L'église Sainte Jeanne d'arc

Though there are no shortage of churches in Nice, l'église Sainte Jeanne d'arc, is the only one I know constructed of concrete---and it just so happens to also be my favourite and the closest to where I am.

Cimiez: le Monastère et les ruines romaines

Cimiez was one of the first spots I visited after my arrival in Nice. And because it was one of the first, it took me forever to figure out how to get there, given my bad habit of not looking too closely at maps and prefering to play flâneur

Halloween à Nice

C'est l'Halloween! Ici à Nice, on ne le fête pas trop, même s'il y aura un zombie walk, le 2ème de novembre.

Galerie Helenbeck: [plus c'est moins] [moins c'est plus]

Un endroit que j'ai trouvé en attendant les courts et en flânant était La Galerie Helenbeck, qui mérite son propre article de blog. One of the spots I found while waiting for the short films and wandering, was Galerie Helenbeck, which deserves its own post...

J'ai passé tout le weekend aux séances du 12ème Festival du Court Métrage à Nice. I spent the whole weekend at the 12th Festival of short film in Nice.
