La Croisette is a boulevard of Cannes along the bay and provided a broad pedestrian promenade away pines bordering the sandy beach. Built on the old coast road called "road of the small cross," is known worldwide thanks to the Cannes Film Festival and the Festival Hall with the famous red steps down to the start of the walk. Most major hotels are located on the Boulevard de la Croisette and the luxury boutiques and major clothing brands.
Cannes is also the name of the point on which ends the boulevard and forms a cap separating the bay of Cannes that of Golfe-Juan facing the island of Sainte-Marguerite . According to tradition, the name is due to the presence of a small cross placed at the tip of the cape, the Cannes revered and from which the penitent brotherhoods went in procession.

First go at a long exposure of the coast. Ridiculously cliched and too minimal for my taste really, hoping to get something with a little bit more going on over the next week. Wrong time of day to boot.

Du 1er au 20 mars 1815, c'est la reconquête du pouvoir par Napoléon, après son débarquement dans le golfe Juan et sa marche vers Paris.
Cette période est surnommée « le vol de l'Aigle » par l'historiographie favorable à l'empereur. Du 20 mars au 22 juin 1815, c'est le second règne impérial de Napoléon Ier.

I live in Golfe-Juan. No it's not "Juan-les-pins", it's "Golfe-Juan", the town righ between Juan-les-Pins and Cannes. Go to Google Maps. There.
It's the smallest town I ever lived in. To me, it can be resumed in one street: "avenue de la Gare".
At one end of avenue de la Gare: the sea, the harbour and the beaches. All much nicer, wider and less touristy than in Cannes. Highly recommended!
One third up from the sea: the train station. Public transportation! Yay ! It's the reason why I moved there. Public transportation is a kind of luxury in this area. 10 minutes in a train and you are in Cannes.
Going further up, many small old-fashioned shops: 2 bakeries, 2 butchers, 2 fish shops, 2 little grocery stores (not too big otherwise they would like supermarkets!), 2 fruit and vegetable shops, one cheese shop, one wine shop...all sprinkled with a few cafes, hairdressers, banks...and the ubiquitous real estate agencies (the engine of the local economy!).
It feels like shopping in France circa 1965 (well, before Carrefour existed).
Further up, my flat, and further up, the pizza van (Everybody knows that the best pizzas on earhth are from South of France pizza vans. Seriously) and at the other end of avenue de la Gare, tadaaaaaaaaa: the post office.
The nice thing with the post office is that right in front of it, there is "Le Salon", a small restaurant run by 2 ladies who cook like your French mom would do: unbeatable!
But the priviledge to eat at their table is reserved to holiday makers and those who don't need to work for a living (or those working in Golfe-Juan): the restaurant is only open at lunch time, Monday to Friday.
That's it for the Golfe-Juan vibe :)
What, you need cinemas and clothes shops? Just take the train to Cannes...
430EX II @ 1/2 power camera right | Shoot through umbrella | Impact PowerSync10
Beautiful sky at sunset meant it was the perfect opportunity to break out the strobe and umbrella. Love shooting portraits with the 10-22mm... said it before, but it really is an incredibly versatile lens.
I spent two afternoon shooting my friends in their favourite sport. In more than 400 photos this one is among the few ones where we can see the surfer and the kite. With 20 meters lines, It's not often you get a chance to frame both in the same photo.
La Côte d'Azur: à la fois démesure et authenticité.
Ici c'est à Golfe-Juan, dans le port Camille Rayon ou se succèdent allègrement les yachts, parqués les uns contre les autres comme tout un chacun rangerait sa voiture. Une image de luxe, assurément. L'authenticité est bien loin derrière.
Étaler ostensiblement sa richesse aux yeux de tout le monde, est-ce vraiment là qu'est l'avenir de la France? J'ose espérer que non...

These two last days were very windy which is somehow rare here so I went out to shoot at windsurfers and kitesurfers.
I will probably post some more photos soon.
