Tuesday in Antibes (Cannes)


Our place in Antibes is called Le Trois Palmes and this view from the balcony is why

Today we took the train down to Cannes. I got some good pictures there.


typical hotel on the beach front




a typical beach


We gave the guy who taught his dog and cat to sleep together some money

After lunch by the beach we took a ferry to Ile Sainte Marguerite, where the Man with the Iron Mask was kept prisoner.


Ile Sainte Marguerite and the prison - from the ferry

The prison had once been a fort and before that a Roman settlement. In the prison was a museum with Roman artifacts.
