Toy Town

I fell asleep early last night, and so inevitably woke up at about 1am for a couple of hours. That in turn saw me not being fully awake until about 9.30 this morning, by which time the rain had stopped.

That was enough impetus to get me out of the flat, and I decided to head for St Paul de Vence. The no 400 bus was conveniently waiting in an easily findable place at its new “terminus”. It would appear that the old bus station is going to be replaced by an urban park, which is all a bit odd. Perhaps they are going to put up a new station a bit to the north-east, at Vayban. Or perhaps they are just going to do without a bus station.

St Paul is about three miles south of Vence, some 15 miles from Nice, I would guess. It’s an old fortified hilltop village that now looks a bit like a chocolate toytown out of a fairy tale, surrounded as it is now by thousands of other, more modern, residences.
