At the far end of this narrow street is the pedestrian area of Menton. In recent years several small streets that run off it - like this one - have been tiled over and cars and bikes are banned. Small specialist shops and cafés have opened and now these streets are alive with life.This is the sort of 'progress' I approve of.
Me, too, except I wish they'd keep more old-fashioned chairs! I would like to see Menton again.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Reminds me of a lot of my favorite places, specially Nicosia's old town.
ReplyDeleteI agree! This looks like a lovely place to spend an afternoon.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S progress!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember a very kind person drove me near here a year ago, - one street back from the Promenade?
ReplyDeleteLovely little alleyways, lined with lovely little shops and cafés, just like so many beautiful towns in the south.
Gorgeous shot, Jilly.
Well I agree with Bibi about the chairs but i must say those red ones are pretty spiffy! You just joined my table/chairs/rouge series all in one! I want to visit Menton as well !

I am all for this type of progress. (Jilly, Arnaud added another blog, but just about his family. His daughters are adorable.
ReplyDeleteWith 3 girls (not counting the wife), I am not surprised he doesn't have time to post anymore).
Seems like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'd be glad to enjoy this enlightened and lovely progress!
ReplyDeleteNadege I can't find the link to Arnaud's new blog.
