Summer Nights - 2

A balmy summer evening - Place aux Herbes under the plane trees. Restaurants either side - Le Lido on the left, Le Balico on the right. Beautiful old buildings, musicians to entertain, good food and wine. Where are you? Menton!

Note: Since posting this, sadly Le Balico has been sold and is now under new management.

  1. Great composition in this photo: the fountain in the centre, the horizontal lines of the rows of spectators, the vertical lines of the trees and the beautiful, atmospheric lighting in the background.

  6. Jilly - I'm exhausted!! It has taken a mammoth effort to get to you but as usual it is always worth it. Menton is becoming my favourite place in the world at the moment!!!!

    I dedicated my blog to you yesterday with an apology for not visiting as often as I would like!!!

  10. I missed this photo yesterday. What a beauty. The place is so inviting, it reminds me of the lovely nights we spent in Andalusia last summer. Simply delightful.

  11. This scene reminds me of Aix-en-Provence sooo much. The trees and fountain, the buildings, the crowd.

    Gorgeous scenery.
