azur christmas

Nice is trying hard to have a winter. There are (real) pine trees everywhere, stands selling mulled wine in the Christmas market, an outdoor skating rink.

But it's hard to imagine you are anywhere but the South of France with the palm trees and 17 degree weather.


(Or Abu Dhabi, you know, with that huge snowman they put outside Marina Mall, facing all the people on the beach at the Hiltonia?)

I just hope the fake snow doesn't melt before Christmas.
