Views from our room in the morning at the Chateau de la Chevre d'Or in Eze.08:33:12

The notion of ironing a shirt whilst overlooking the Mediterranean rather appealed to me.
09:44:47
09:48:28
09:58:24
Breakfast out on our balcony - it was ever so slightly chilly but this was still rather lovely nonetheless.09:58:37
The basket of viennoiseries.
10:00:05
Chie looking out the window.10:02:51
Chie was determined to have breakfast in her dressing gown (so much so she put it on over the top of her clothes).10:04:00
The plates here were rather cute.10:29:02
More nice views of the Cap Ferrat.
10:30:50
Chie basking in the morning sun on our balcony.10:35:45
I was trying out just wearing the gillet (?) from my coat.10:37:44
10:40:35
I rather liked this mural in our room - particularly nice sense of perspective in this shot.
11:08:53
A few more pictures of Eze as we were leaving.11:10:48
Chie meets a cat with an itchy head.11:10:55
11:18:02
Bus timetables!
11:18:09
12:16:31
Taken from the bus. Bye bye Eze!12:43:42
Now in Villefranche-sur-mer. This was taken on our way down from the top of the town (where the bus dropped us off) to the centre.12:52:38
The Welcome Hotel and the harbour.
12:52:46
Close up on the Welcome Hotel.12:53:08
I really like the coloured buildings in Villefranche.13:09:47
In our hotel room now - which had two balconies (!) - looking out over the town from one of them...13:10:06
....and looking out over the harbour from the other balcony. Not sure if it was just a coincidence that we were put in the room with the Union Jack on the balcony.
13:10:11
13:14:40
The other side of the Welcome Hotel, seen from the ground.13:25:52
By the harbour.13:37:52
Lunch at one of the cafes lining the harbour. This was a pretty good omelette.
14:13:45
Apple tart to follow.14:42:51
After lunch we went for a walk to the Villa Kerylos, which took us round the bay from Villefranche.14:49:06
The beach at Villefranche.14:49:13
Looking back towards the town centre.
14:54:02
15:18:27
There's the Villa Kerylos - a recreation of a Greek Villa built by a wealthy French banker.15:18:34
15:34:20
15:36:44
Inside the villa, the rather nice tiled interior of the room with the bath in.15:36:49
15:37:11
There's the bath.15:38:08
The courtyard in the middle.
15:45:39
15:47:22
The shower room - apparently quite a rarity in its day.15:49:02
Some rather nice taps.15:52:54
I thought this looked a bit like Rory McGrath.
15:56:30
16:04:11
16:06:00
Looking across the bay to the Rothschilds villa, which we visited on our previous trip to the South of France.16:06:43
The Kerylos villa from the outside.
16:07:47
Looking East along the coast from the Villa Kerylos - the weather was starting to look a bit moody by this point.16:07:55
16:25:57
A fittingly art deco map of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, much loved by Noel Coward and chums.16:33:41
Walking back into Villefranche now.
16:37:29
On the beach again.16:53:31
Having a wander around the backstreets of Villefranche.16:54:04
The Rue Obscura - apparently quite ancient.16:54:46
16:55:26
Actually a bit scary in here!16:57:52
Le Serre - the pizza place where we ended up having dinner later on.16:58:11
Some of the various nice stepped passageways in Villefranche.16:59:36
The church.
17:01:19
17:10:17
17:10:43
17:20:23
Nice flower growing out of a wall.
17:20:45
Going for a wak along the seafront to the port of Villefranche.17:27:26
Here's the port.17:27:34
I thought this looked a bit like a toy.17:34:47
The fort in Villefranche.
18:58:50
Villefranche harbour by night.19:35:52
The backstreets by night.20:04:08
Dinner at Le Serre. Note the chap peering into shot in the background.20:04:21
My pizza at Le Serre - this was pretty tasty.
