"C" for "Cannes"Croisette"," cinéma"

On Holidays.

In 1834, Cannes was just a little fishport discovered by chance by lord Brougham . This diplomat had to travel to Nice but he could not pass the transalpine frontier because of the Cholera. So he came back and stayed at Cannes. He enjoyed this place so that he built there a house, then he spent each winter , followed by the english gentry .Thus, Cannes became a smart and famous city well known for the international festival of Cinéma. Decorated walls recall famous movies. La Croisette -The name of this famous avenue comes from a little cross which stood at the end of the littoral path.
You can see and use Chairs and arm- chairs .

"B" for "blue"," beach","boat"

The expression "Côte d'Azur, " was created by a french writer Stephen Liégeard, in 1887 to speak of the french Riviera-It was the title of one of his novels

Azur means Blue.
Blue blue sky, blue sea .
Cannes offers to you beautiful shades of blue.

From the Palm Beach to the place named La Bocca, blue everywhere:
on the surf boards, on the boats, even on the chairs in front of the famous hôtel Martinez !

"A" for "Autoroute"-"A" "Art"-ABC -Wednesday round 3

,Départ en Vacances !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Autoroute, appelée-abusivement?"- ouvrage d'art"...pas si l'on se rappelle l'étymologie du mot "Ars",en latin=habileté, métier, connaissance


Comme autre ouvrage d'art, des arches, à l'arrondi gracieux...


Au péage, l'argent est requis...pour l'entretien de ladite autoroute .

Où ai-je lu cet aphorisme:"Je croyais que les vacances vidaient la tête, alors qu'elles ne vident que le porte-monnaie!"
A comme ...Arnaque ?



Lignes géométriques, droites strictes , cet art n'admet pas la fantaisie.


Enfin l'Arrivée: Mais à cause des grands ensembles architecturaux, on aperçoit à peine la grande Bleue...
Ah! la la !!!!Grandeur et décadence!
.............................................................................................................................................................
Art
Au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Saint-lô: ce n'est pas une statue de saint Sébastien percé de flèches, en ombre chinoise, mais une statue d'Eros (L'Amour, de Jules Coutan)qui se trouvait dans un jardin de Saint-lô et fut partiellement brisée au cours du bombardement allié .
L'endroit de la brisure ne fut pas restauré, mais au contraire souligné par un système de petites lampes :ainsi la statue porte sa blessure comme le symbole de la destruction de la ville, et de sa renaissance .

Ah?AH!

This statue of Eros stood in a garden of Saint-lô; it was half broken by the bombs at the end of the second world war, and exhibited with its injury as a symbol of the death and the second birth of the town.
