la belle côte d'azur


I couldn't leave Nice without taking a few shots of the port, the old town and the Promenade des Anglais.   La Riviera has been a popular jet setter destination for centuries, hence the Quai des Etats Unis, the Russian Church, la Promenade des Anglais.  All reminiscent of the 19th century glory of la Belle Epoque, when Edith Wharton liked to portray her heroines taking in the Riviera as part of their Grand Tour.
