The view from our hotel

The old church not too far from the port


Small cobble stone streets. to the right leads towards the church if I remember well


A view on Cannes beaches and port entrance. Our visit that time happened to coincide with the worst storm in decades !!!

The storm has cleared. A view from the church area over Cannes harbour with the conference center on the left.


Just after the storm, one of the main squares in Nice, just off the coast. Portrayed in the FS2000 add-on scenery !

 

Some pictures of our departure from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport




Finally, we took off. The city of Nice is on the left, the snow capped Alps in the background and the
shining blue Mediterranean underneath....



Last view of Cannes before we head north towards the French Alps. The old port is in the middle of the bay, top half of the picture. In the distance is St. Raphael and all the way to the top ledft, in the haze, should be St. Tropez.
