Foire!
The foire (fair) is in town! Here you see the trailers cheek by jowl - the fair itself is off to the right. In the background you see the bay of Garavan and in the distance, Italy. Menton is the border town that adjoins Italy - the Italians call it Mentone, pronouncing the 'e' of course. Many Italians work in Menton and in Monaco, which is just a little further along the coast.
Lovely location for a fair! Will you get a chance to visit it and take some photos? (I guess the pooches keep you quite busy;-))
ReplyDeleteYou have some beautiful photographs here. Nothing flat and bland like my countryside here in southwestern Ohio were I live. I note your blog about dogs too and I am a lover of dogs more so than people. We just lost our Autumn Eve, a toy fox terrier and we still miss her. I think I might have her picture on my website: http://www.oldmanlincoln.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks again. I really appreciate your visit.
my wife has now reminded me that we were in your beautiful city several years ago. One of the most beautiful places in all of France.
ReplyDeletesalute è pace, je vous souhaites la bienvenue sur la planéte des daily"s" et un bon vol pour la suite...
ReplyDeletehi Jilly-Thanks for dropping by chilly Minneapolis this morning!
ReplyDeleteYou asked "If someone leaves a comment and it needs a reply, do we leave it, as I am now, on the sender's blog - or on our own?"
I'm certainly no expert, and don't believe there are any rules...but I think how you responded to my earlier comment is pretty much perfect!
Now let's see....should I also answer your question over on my blog...? :)
I've driven through your town before - what beauty.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the foire.
J'admire la limpidité de l'eau, Menton est une belle ville où habitait ma tante, elle habite maintenant à Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.Je suis allée plusieurs fois à Menton quand j'étais petite, mais je n'ai plus beaucoup de souvenirs. Je me souviens d'une maison à flanc de colline sur la route de ST Agnès.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured the beauty of the Cote d'Azur so well in this.
