Lunch - on the rocks

 An addendum to the post on café sitting.

Back to Nice again on a bright sunny day.  We got off the bus somewhere before the Negresco so that we could walk up the Promenade des Anglais with a good view.  



We learned on a previous visit that going the other direction in the afternoon means you're looking into the low-slanted sun and all you see is glare and silhouettes.

What we found was that the restaurants had moved outside and set up directly on the beach, which in Nice is mostly composed of pebbles.  




 Tables, tablecloths, chairs, and waiters carefully de-boning the fish on silver platters.


 They even brought out comfortable seating to watch people playing by the water.

One restaurant followed another, five or six of them, leading up to where the beach got too steep and too narrow.

January - Riviera style
