The South of France 27th June to 6th July 2016

An old hunting ground of mine. I thought I go see if it's still there,and, yes it is, even though it is now a little more congested, and a even busier than before. I rented a flat from Silvia, in Cannes, and stayed one night at the Hotel l'Lesterel. I took one day trip to Alassio in Italy and write about that separately. Here are some shots.

For a great detective story set in Cannes, and which just about sums up the attractions of living in this part of the world, see my novella DARK HARBOUR. The link to this book is at the top of the page.
