Sospel - the Toll Bridge on the Salt Route
Sospel is such a pretty mountain village. 18 kilometres above Menton with the River Bévéra running through it. In the distance the old toll bridge on the Salt Route.

Exhibition in Sainte Agnes
A sailor (Frederic Simon) and an American Indian (Patrick Truchi) greeted visitors to the vernissage of their wonderfully original, crazy, funny sculptures in Ste. Agnes last night.
I think I'd like to live in their minds ...
(Exhibition - Espace Culturelle, Sainte Agnes until the 16th August)

Un marin (Frédéric Simon) et un Indien d'Amérique )Patrick Truchi) accueillaient les visiteurs au vernissage de l'exposition de leurs sculptures merveilleusement originales, folles et drôles à Ste. Agnès hier soir.

The Restaurant Cat
If you eat at Restaurant le Righi in Sainte Agnès (highly recommended!) then you'll probably have the friendly restaurant cat sitting alongside you! Sainte Agnès is the highest coastal village in Europe with a view of the sea - sit back and enjoy it from this terrace.
