A morning of walking: Promenade le Corbusier, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin

The Promenade le Corbusier.

We choose to walk the Promenade le Corbusier this morning from our apartment, around Cap Martin, to the Plage de Carnoles and back, a good 10 km.

It's  a coastal path with sublime views of the rocky coastline, the sea which sparkled, the surrounding mountains and with vistas across to Monaco and to Menton as we traversed the promenade. 

It felt so good to be close to the sea and to be away from the busyness of the Cote d'Azur. 

We are now just waiting for the scorching mid afternoon heat to abate and then we plan to have our swim in the Med.

Look at this sea!

Sidebar: I do have to chuckle at the reality check of going for a swim versus the beautiful sea photos. The rocks are slippery, the beach is a pebble beach and makes it so hard to get in and out, never mind the kilometre walk down and up the hill to get to the sea.

Nothing elegant about the swim at all...took myself off to the pool afterwards which I much prefer.

We felt revived after a shower and a train ride into Menton for an evening pizza. We lucked on a good choice of restaurant not too far from the 'SNCF Gare' and ate well.
