The Plage des Ponchettes, in the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels). The Mediterranée in all its shades of blue.
If I'm on the beach, you will probably find me near the poste de secours. Showers nearby, toilet nearby.
To be able to relax here and to get into the sea, you'll need (at least) a bathing mat, a thick bathing towel and a pair of bathing slippers. The pebbles are not exactly fun to walk or sleep on without those attributes.
After you've been swimming, you need to shower, to get rid of the salt.
French, American, Italian, Scandinavian, Russian people on the beach. It's nice to listen to all the different languages and accents. Italian families need less space than others. They will sit right next to you.
Airplanes with new tourists are landing every minute on Nice Airport, the second busiest in France. You can see the airport right next to the guy with the towel.
Sometimes the sea is very calm, and then little boats from the city of Nice will come to clean the water and get rid of litter and jellyfish. Quite effective, because I didn't run into these buggers so far.
And sometimes the Mediterranée can be a bit rough. There's always a flow and the breakers dash against the pebble beach.
Another breaker throwing you on the pebbles...
and dragging you back into the sea, so the game repeats itself.
It wasn't very hot today, only 26°C, so a lot of people came to the beach.
Quite exceptional really, these crowds on a Friday afternoon. Normally you will only see this on Sundays. However, it's August.

lekker geluid nietwaar, die golfslag op die stenen...
slippers aan een touwtje, touwtje aan een stokje, stokje vast zetten op het strand tussen de pebbles en hopla de zee in, slipper uit, slippers drijven, jij zwemmen, wil je weer terug, slippers pakken aantrekken enz...
zo deden wij dat....maar toen lag het strand nog niet vol..

I used to live here in Nice with my girl friend, a Dutch baroness, off and on, from 1976 to 1984. This photo was taken in 1986. Visiting regularly throughout the years, I moved back to Nice in 2007.
Nice weather!

Prince Valerian Obolensky
Prince Valerian Obolensky (1951) is living in Amsterdam, Paris, and Nice. He is the author of the book Russians in Exile - The History Of A Diaspora. After the cold war Prince Valerian Obolensky was invited by Anatoli Sobchak, mayor of St. Petersburg and Russian candidate of presidency, to come to his beautiful city. Sobchak offered the Prince, on behalf of the Russian Republic, his most sincere excuses for everything the Russian nation had done to the Russian nobility since 1917.
Recently Prince Valerian Obolensky started a new project: Russian Aristocracy Online - a genealogy website of the Russian aristocracy.
