Moving House

 





Ubered to our next Airbnb flawlessly this morning, then a short walk to Rue de La Poissonniers. Very comfortable and roomy  flat, with just 57 steps to the 3rd floor. 50 less than Rue Giofreddo. 

After catching-up with internet stuff, we walk outside to the daily marche where I buy an umbrella as rain is threatening again. 




We’ve decide to go again to La Storia for lunch. CA orders Risotto de La Fregola á la créme de Courgette Stracciatella et saumon fumé. (Pasta pearls (Fregola) instead of Arborio rice, with a cream sauce of Stracciatella cheese and zucchini; and Smoked Salmon.) I’m having the same Salade Niçoise I enjoyed on Sunday. 


After a long lunch, we stroll a bit along Cours Saleya before heading-off in different directions. CA is going to the train station to get information on transportation to St. Paul de Vence, while I discover new shopping streets and search a bit for an extra suitcase. Yes, it’ll be necessary as we traveled here with just a carryon each. 


People watching is one of the best entertainments we have here on the Côte d’Azur. While all of Europe is multi-national, with the World Cup 23 rugby matches happening in France and 5 games in Nice it’s quite evident that there’s a huge influx of fans in the mix. 


When we meet at No. 6, we decide again that dinner will not be necessary. 


We like this Airbnb very much, too. It’s in the midst of the old City, very close to Marche aux Fleurs, and a vibrant area with an amazing number of restaurants.

I’ve always loved this storefront—an umbrella shop of the past. My new umbrella looks quite similar to the top photo here
