Musings--quick takes Juan-les-Pins
Boardwalk at Juan-les-Pins. Lots of walkers, joggers, dogs and children. The water is too cold for me, but others seem to be enjoying it. Still a few more days to eat at the restaurants on the beach . . . .
Window shopping in Juan-les-Pins. . . . The trip was, after all, for work.
Boutique owners have about another month of tourists and sales, then the town quiets down for several months. Many stores close in the winter season.
I love the late-afternoon light in September. This photo was taken near Opio. Lots of Americans and British live in this area, given the proximity to Sophia Antipolis. Not to mention the climate.
My favorite restaurant in Juan-les-Pins, Le Paradis, has been sold to a chain. I will miss its talented staff, great cuisine and atmosphere.
My favorite bookstore, right across from the Crystal, has an excellent selection of French literary works as well as English books and guides. The owner includes short reviews with each book in the display.
The night before I left, we had our kir at the Crystal, something of a tradition.
