I popped across the Italian border yesterday to shop at Latte, which is midway between Menton and Ventimiglia. On the way back a walk along the beach at Balzi Rossi seemed a good idea.
Balzi Rossi is at the border itself, on the Italian side. It's famous for its prehistoric caves - read about those by clicking on the link.
This gentleman is bravely testing the waters but he decided against a swim and turned back.

Hier, j'ai traversé la frontière italienne pour faire mes courses à Latte qui se trouve à mi-chemin entre Menton et Vintimille. Sur le chemin du retour une promenade le long de la plage des Balzi Rossi me semblait une bonne idée.
Les Balzi Rossi se situent à la frontière elle-même, du côté italien. Ils sont célèbres pour leurs grottes préhistoriques- en savoir plus sur elles-ci en cliquant sur le lien.
Ce monsieur teste courageusement l'eau, mais il renonce au bain et s'en retourne.
I'd test the waters!
ReplyDeleteI'd test the waters!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo of this beach. The man testing the waters just makes it!
ReplyDeleteI was curious to know whether he'd gone in. So he gave up eh? The colours look so inviting though... but it's so early in season...
ReplyDeleteThat water is such a wonderful shade of blue! I would be standing behind this man, waiting to see if he decided to go in or not.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, when I'm reading your blog, I wonder: what brought Jilly from England to the south of France? Then I see a picture like this one and I have my answer.
ReplyDeletePetrea, actually I didn't leave England for the south of France, I left Australia - with its amazing beaches. I lived in Queensland for the three years prior to France and in Tasmania for the three yeras prior to that.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected! Hmm, must have been beautiful there, too. I think you could never live in a place that wasn't gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt was beautiful but Cairns was terribly hot but the real reason I moved to France was that in Australia, despite beauty and great friends, is that I missed the ambience and way of life of Europe.
