Oh my. It makes me wonder how old the wood is, not to mention the stone. Beautiful.

Makes me think that the word 'window' means 'wind's eye,' so....

Good one!

His blog is about food but he has some nice pictures of Menton.

Nadege thanks for that information. I plan on writing David and asking if I can link to that article one day. I too have eaten at a Mirazur and it's fascinating to see it written about by a real foodie.

Buildings in Vieux Menton have made so many mutations over the past 600 years, and ventilation was always a challenge. Our one-window apartment had an internal port hole (only it was square) giving out onto the building's stairway. It was too small for a trangressor but provided marvelous relief during La Chaleur in 2003 because our building had no front door at street level. The dark, steep stairway insured security. And Menton is a very peaceful town.
