Riviera – Menton |
Дневник |
Menton is a small city very close to the borders of both Italy and Monaco, just east of Cap Martin. The architecture reminds of its both neighbour countries and you can find beautiful buildings everywhere. Menton is very popular among Englishmen. As we had just about 2 hours to spend in this very beautiful city on our way from Monaco to San Remo, we didn't see the old town and the harbour, but also the newer part is very nice and it has a beach. Menton is more relaxed than most other towns on the Riviera and is famous for its many beautiful gardens and for its lemon festival.

Skylines of Monaco
It is hard to choose what pictures should be included in the skyline section, because their are skyline views of highrises and mountains almost everywhere in Monaco. Monaco doesn't have any really tall skyscrapers, but highrises tall enough (20-40 floors) to make a skyline, so it is definately the most impressive skyline on the Riviera. Because the city is built on mountains and rocks, the stunning nature makes the skyline look really good, even if the highrise's architecture themselves are mostly ugly. Monaco is one of the few cities that are built vertically. That means that stairs, elevators and escalators are as common as pavements and crosswalks to get between to roads. And becaue or that
it also has many tall highrises/small skyscrapers for its size. There are
11 buildings with 25 floors or more, of those 6 have with between 30 and 37 floors.

Riviera – Grasse and Valbonne |
Дневник |
Grasse is the perfume capital of the world, since it has been famous for its prospering perfume industry since the 18th century. Everywhere you go you can in this charmy and beautiful mountain city you can find perfume stores and museums. It is a small town situated in the mountains of Côte d'Azur's Alps. From the entrance to the medieval city center, there are views towards the sea. It isn't that small, however, the medieval core is only one of many districts that form the city of Grasse. The famous movie "The Perfume-story of a murderer" was partly filmed in Grasse, but the square doesn't exist in the city in reality.

Riviera – Marseille |
Дневник |
Most French people don´t like highrises, especially in southern France since they claim that tall buildings would block their views of the beautiful nature. But in Marseille, there are huge amount of residential highrise for poor people and people with middle incomes in the suburbs. In the outskirts of central Marseille, there are also office highrises in a boxy modernist style. The first multi apartment complex in the world, Le Corbusier's famous Unité d'Habitation, that also was the first building in the world with a Brutalist architecture, is situated in the outskirts of Marseille. And now the city is constructing its first skyscraper, Tour CGA CGM, in the modern part of the harbour, not far from the city center. Some tall churches also help up the skyline a bit. The surrounding mountains make the skyline look interesting anyway.
Nôtre-Dame de la Garde and its views
There is a tourist train that drove us up the 162 m high limestone outcrop ( just above the historical city center) where the fascinating basilica Nôtre-Dame de la Garde stands. The train sometimes felt like a rollercoaster, since it was driving in a high speed down some hills, just next to the steep slopes!

Riviera – Cannes and Antibes |
Дневник |
Cannes is just the 3rd largest city on the Riviera, but feels much larger than its 67 000 inhabitants and it also has 109 000 inh. together with its twin town Le-Cannet. Cannes is famous for its film festival, expensive brande stores, the beach and its luxorious hotels. However, young people are complaining that there is nothing to do in the city and that it is pretty dead in the winter. While all the glamour is at the beach promenade La Croisette, the historical and artistic part is the old town, that is situated on the hills above.

Skylines of Nice
Most French people don´t like highrises, especially in southern France since they claim that tall buildings would block their views of the beautiful nature. Thus there are just a few highrises in Nice, and they are not very tall and are located in the outskirts. And because Nice doesn´t
have any tall cathedral or TV tower, the skyline looks pretty week. But in return,
the nature that surrounds the city is amazing. Nice is situated between
the Mediterranean sea and the Alps, and there is even a high rock in the city.
Colline du Chateau and its views
In the eastern part of central Nice, there is a high rock, Colline du Chateau, that you can climb from the Old Town. On the top of the rock there are observation points, a park and a beautful cemetery on the way up. There is also aa huge war memorial facing the bay on the east side of the rock, called Aux Morts. Despite the name there is no castle on the rock, but there are ruins of an old church. These are the views from the rock:
