Summer... France...Nice... Hotel Negresco.
Inaugurated in 1913, and listed as a National Historic Monument, this Belle Époque palace is located on the seafront promenade overlooking the Bay of Angels. Hotel furnished throughout with a unique collection of antiques and contemporary works of art.
Among others these sculptures paid my attention. They were standing and moving in a same time, rolling somewhere... The spanish sculptor Franck R. Tassi offers a representation of a mixture of various elements resulting from his concern about the relation of man in front of the universe, the society or technology. His style of expression shows man as creator as well as victim and often prisonner of his technology and even slave of his own inventions... It's from the official description of his sculptures Mechanic Dancer (Cyborg M.M.) and Jeanne De Loulu...
I use here my shots of these sculptures and an interior of Hotel Negresco to define the word "roller" as a symbol of our life. We all run, move, roll somewhere... We don't know where we go... Tomorrow is unpredictable but we're rolling there, we all are the Rollers...

Face à la gare Saint-Lazare, la légendaire Brasserie Mollard sert nombre de plats traditionnels français et plateaux de crustacés. Classé aux monuments historiques depuis 1989, ce bâtiment parisien de plus d'1 siècle est un joyau de l'Art Nouveau.
La Brasserie Mollard est en effet l'une des plus anciennes brasseries de Paris. Son décor est l’œuvre d’Édouard-Jean Niermans, architecte de l’hôtel Negresco à Nice, de l’hôtel de Paris à Monte-Carlo et du cabaret du Moulin-Rouge, assisté d'Eugène Martial Simas.
Bien située devant la gare Saint-Lazare, la Maison Mollard eut un immense succès. Trente années après son arrivée, monsieur Mollard put entreprendre des travaux considérables et réaliser en style moderne le plus bel établissement de Paris. À l’époque de l’Art Nouveau, il confie la transformation de son établissement à l’architecte Édouard-Jean Niermans.

L'Hotel Negresco è un hotel situato sulla Promenade des Anglais a Nizza, in Francia. Prende il nome da Henri Negresco (1868-1920), che fece costruire questo sontuoso hotel nel 1912. Henri aveva studiato e lavorato come pasticcere nella lussuosa Casa Capșa a Bucarest, in Romania, a 25 anni lasciò casa prima andando a Parigi, poi in Costa Azzurra, dove ebbe molto successo. Come direttore del casinò municipale di Nizza, ebbe l'idea di costruire un sontuoso hotel di qualità che attirasse i clienti più ricchi. Assunse il grande architetto Édouard-Jean Niermans per progettare l'hotel e la sua famosa cupola rosa. Durante la prima guerra mondiale l'hotel fu convertito in ospedale. Nel corso degli anni, l'hotel ha avuto i suoi alti e bassi, e nel 1957, i nuovi proprietari ristrutturarono l'hotel con lussuose decorazioni e arredi. Lo resero inoltre popolare con le celebrità; Elton John l'ha utilizzato nel video della sua canzone "I'm Still Standing", e dissero che Bill Gates, fondatore di Microsoft, avessev dichiarato che acquistarlo fosse al di là delle sue possibilità.

Henri was educated and worked as a confectioner at the luxurious Casa Capșa in Bucharest, Romania, left home at the age of 25 going first to Paris then to the French Riviera where he became very successful. As director of the Municipal Casino in Nice, he had the idea to build a sumptuous hotel of quality that would attract the wealthiest of clients. He hired the great architect Édouard-Jean Niermans to design the hotel and its now famous pink dome. During the World War I the hotel was converted to a hospital. Over the years, the hotel had its ups and downs, and in 1957, the new owners reinvigorated the hotel with luxurious decorations and furnishings. They also popularised it with celebrities; Elton John featured it in the video for his song "I'm Still Standing", and they told Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, that purchasing it would be beyond his means.
10h45, le ciel se dégage peu à peu et je profite de la première et courte éclaircie pour prendre en photo le célèbre negresco avec la mer démontée.

The Hotel Negresco on the Promenade des Anglais on the Baie des Anges in Nice, France was named for Henri Negresco (1868-1920) who had the palatial hotel constructed in 1912. In keeping with the conventions of the times, when the Negresco first opened in 1913 its front opened on the side opposite the Mediterranean.
Over the years, the hotel had its ups and downs and in 1957 was sold to the Augier family. Madame Jeanne Augier reinvigorated the hotel with luxurious decorations and furnishings, including an outstanding art collection and rooms with mink bedspreads. Noted for its doormen dressed in the manner of the staff in 18th-century elite bourgeois households, complete with red-plumed postilion hats, the hotel also offers renowned gourmet dining at the Regency-style Le Chantecler under its new chef Bruno Turbot, brought in from Normandy when previous chef Alain Llorca took over the equally fabled Moulin de Mougins.
In 2003 the Hotel Negresco was listed by the government of France as a National Historic Building and is a member of Leading Hotels of the World. The Negresco has a total of 119 guest rooms plus 22 suites.

Francia, Provenza-Alpi-Costa Azzurra, Nizza, Autunno 2017
Nizza è la quinta città più popolosa della Francia e la capitale del dipartimento delle Alpi Marittime. La città è soprannominata Nizza la Bella (Nissa La Bella in Nizzardo). La Promenade des Anglais (letteralmente: lungomare degli Inglesi) è una passeggiata lungo il Mediterraneo a Nizza. A partire dalla seconda metà del XVIII secolo, l'aristocrazia inglese era solita passare gli inverni a Nizza, godendosi il panorama lungo la costa. Nel 1820, quando un inverno particolarmente rigido più a nord portò un afflusso di mendicanti a Nizza, alcuni inglesi proposero di farli lavorare sulla costruzione del lungomare.
Nice is the fifth most populous city in France and the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes département. The city is nicknamed Nice la Belle (Nissa La Bella in Niçard), which means Nice the Beautiful. The Promenade des Anglais (literally: Walkway of the English) is a promenade along the Mediterranean at Nice. Starting in the second half of the 18th century, the English aristocracy took to spending the winter in Nice, enjoying the panorama along the coast. In 1820, when a particularly harsh winter further north brought an influx of beggars to Nice, some of the English proposed that they could work on the construction of a walkway (chemin de promenade) along the sea.
