Summer & the city :)

Vespas and pink oleander in Southern France

CANNES, FRANCE – Walking around in the summer breeze under the hot sun while being surrounded by flower scent and pastel colors all around is a lovely, lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon here in Southern France :) I still can’t get over those lilac Jacaranda trees, they are everywhere at the moment and I think they definetely deserve the title of cutest trees in the world together with the frangipanis :) These images are from yesterday evening in Cannes, enjoy xx

Se promener dans le vent d’été sous le soleil, tout en étant entourée de parfums des fleurs et des couleurs pastel… c’est une super façon de profiter d’un beau samedi après-midi passé ici au sud de la France :) Je n’arrive toujours pas à résister face à la beauté de ces arbres de Jacarandas mauves. Ils sont partout et je pense qu’ils méritent bien d’être élus au titre d’arbres les plus jolis au monde en même temps que les frangipaniers :) Ces images de hier soir vous montrer un peu de Cannes en version estivale :) à plus xx

Chasing the sunset light

Sun setting over palm trees in the streets of Cannes, French Riviera

CANNES, FRANCE – Sharing a few images from a couple of days ago when I was getting my daily dose of nature appreciation by admiring some beautiful sunset tones in between the palm trees silhouettes. I can never get used to how the pastel tones on the Mediteranean give you the feeling of walking in a living impressionist painting… a pretty dreamy kind of relax :) Enjoy x

City of Nice

Nice's Place Massena

NICE, FRANCE – After the posts about Nice’s beach and the newly build green spine Promenade du Paillon, it’s time to get lost wandering around the city’s pretty streets, in particular the famous (and spectacular) Place Masséna.

I can’t get over the colourfulness of its buildings …they’re so bold! :)

On a blue sky day like this, you are gonna have to tone down the saturation or nobody is gonna believe it’s true :)

For an addict to colours like me, this is wonderland :D

La Promenade du Paillon à Nice

Jardins du Paillon

NICE, FRANCE – A few days ago I had the chance to go visit the city’s newly built “green spine” called Promenade du Paillon. It features exotic plants from all 5 continents, fountains, water games and a generally high amount of natural goodness all around. All of this paired with the typical blue sky and sunshine… I’m in love :)

The variety of trees and plants is incredible, I’ll share a few favorites below :) Hope you’ll enjoy this little ‘visual’ walk through these beautiful gardens :) xx

Bienvenue à Nice :)

The gorgeous beach of Nice, France

NICE, FRANCE – Today I want to show you one of my favorite places in Europe, probably n°1 for me: Nice :)

Why should you fall in love with it?

This beautiful Mediterranean city is blessed with the most incredible teal colored seaside (which is pretty unique for the French Riviera where usually the water is a deeper indigo blue) with white pebbles beaches, huge gardens such as a newly built “green spine” throughout its central area and also features plenty of bold coloured streets and buildings (more posts coming soon ;) ).

Now it’s time to visit its pastel coloured beaches and have a little week-end relax ;)

Lake Como ! :)

 

LAKE COMO, ITALY – Digging the archives today looking for pics of Lake Como for a client’s website I am designing and I thought I might share a few of my old pictures here :) Lake Como is seriously one of the most beautiful places on Earth, I highly recommend everywhere to visit it. But be warned, you might end up liking it enough to decide to live there for a few years like I did ;) In the meanwhile, sending some love ! xx

Exploring London: the Big Ben (theory :P)

Dramatic Big Ben perspective

LONDON, UK – While the first time I saw the Big Ben in real life was on the DoubleDecker tourist bus (yes, really chasing photo opportunities in EVERY possible way :D), these are probably my fav images of it from this trip….thank you wind and fluffy clouds! Well, I actually kept walking around and around there for hours UNTIL a nice sky appeared, but that’s what photographers do, right? ;) Enjoy xxxx
