The bus, the beach, and all that jazz

After finishing our visit to the Rothschild Mansion on CapFerrat,  we took the bus #81 back to VilleFranche-su-mer.  It was mid afternoon and we strolled around the old town.  We stopped for a snack at Le Cosmo Bistrot/Brasserie which has a great view of the harbor.  Our next goal was to do some sun bathing on the beach.  Fortunately the weather during our stay has been perfect, sunny and warm with no rain.  The beach was moderately busy and people enjoying some splashing in the Mediterranean.  I can report that the water was nice, but salty.

We took bus #81 back to VilleFranche-su-Mer.

Beaches are really small pebbles, not sand.

People splash in the water, then relax on the rocks.

Once again we took the mini bus #80 from the water front to the Hotel Fiancee du Pirates.  This time we felt like "old hands" on this conveyance.  We asked our hotel staff if there was any place to enjoy live music at supper.  My brother was expecting to find the music of Edith Piaf available everywhere.  We found that the French music scene is far more eclectic and modern.  But we were given a very good lead to go to the Restaurant Trinquette.  This restaurant is a relaxed, low-key place away from the action on the other side of the Citadel in the Old Town (Port de la Darse).  Every weekend, the Restaurant Trinquette features live music.  We enjoyed an excellent evening of a jazz quartet, flute, guitar, drums, bass.  Sorry, no Edith Piaf.  Tomorrow, we're off to Monaco!
