Rue Longue - 8


A reader, who stays in Rue Longue when she visits Menton, has asked how the renovations are coming along. Last year there were times were it was almost impossible to get from one end to the other. Please click on the link to see how it was then.

Well - there IS progress but you'd not want to be wearing high heels! More after tomorrow's Theme Day.

  1. c'est un vrai lifting que l'on lui fait a la rue longue. J'espère qu'ils vont garder le style ancien de la rue.

  2. Urban renovation works are always annoying, aren´t they?
    And some seem to be endless ...
    that street could be in Portugal.

  3. Well, if they left the excavation and filled it with water,

    that street could be in Venice !
    Just needs more washing hanging across the canal.
    The old architecture and the colour-washes on the walls are lovely.
    However the electric supply is a bit novel. I'm sure that is being upgraded too ?

  5. They did hide most of the cables. :)

    There is progress, yes, considering the work started in the middle of the winter. Oh, but, wait a minute, you guys don't get snow there... Anyway, it looks like Rue Longue will be ready just in time for the tourist season.

  6. I wanted to register to the theme day but it was too late.....

    I had a look at the photo "behind" the link. Mon dieu, there was a tunnel under the street. I hope they have not "bouché" it!
