L'Exocet

A metre or so to the left of this row of restaurant tables is the alligator you saw yesterday. L'Exocet is one of many restaurants by the beach. The main restaurants, of course, are the other side of the road, so waiters take chances running across the road with the food. However, the waiters and waitresses who work at this particular restaurant are lucky with the convenient zebra crossing. Others, further along are not so lucky.

I took this photo around 9 in the morning - the waiter and waitress are preparing for the day. The wind had some up so at this moment, there's a bit of a rush to fix down the tablecloths.

If you'd like to see what this area (but a little further along) looks like in February - click HERE.

  2. I don't know why but I find the photo has an English "touch" to it. It must be due to the fact the street and the terrace are so clean.

  3. ...perhaps it has something to do with the Boulevard des Anglais? Jilly! Please! Reminding us here in London of the "view in February" is just bad form!

  5. I was wondering how was it that the beach was almost empty... well 9:00 a.m., that makes sense! Wouldn't mind to be there, anyhow!

  6. Great place to eat and check out the surf. Reminds me of some of the beaches in Australia.

  8. That looks lovely! Remind the waiters of the gorgeous view if they complain about the difficulty crossing the road!
