Old town
All the streets in the vieille ville (old town) are interesting. This is Rue des Marins, just off the market place and on the same level as the sea. This is only the beginning of the old town. This street bends left and right, eventually meeting the walking street and from there you can walk up and up, through the ancient archway and into the old Arab quarters of the vieille ville itself. I'll post more photos of the old town in the weeks and months to come.
Your photos just keep getting better and better. This street scene is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOld town sections of cities seem to be the most interesting--at least to me. Love the colour and edges in this photo.
ReplyDeleteold yellow town! There so much love for lemon there uh? ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, there are lots of bars in the Old Town where you can have a glass or two of a rather fatal lemon liqueur called Limoncello !
ReplyDeleteThe colors are so typical, so Sud, very nice .
ReplyDeleteIs the vieille ville pedestrian traffic only? I can't see the sign clearly but I think it forbids motorized vehicles...
ReplyDeleteLovely photo!
Menton looks so prosperous, so fresh and clean.
ReplyDeleteThe old parts of towns always seem more atmospheric than the new bits.

It seems very quiet in there. This part of the town is really really cute!
ReplyDeleteI love those kind of streets on old town. In Mentone like Saint Tropez or Bordighera, Cervo or Bussana in Italy.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours, shapes and textures in this shot Jilly.
