There are a couple of things to share from Cannes that didn't quite fit into the Cannes post. So let's think of this as the Bonus DVD/Deleted Scenes part of the Cannes post. How about a little bit of Nice?
The thing about the South of France, and the Cote d'Azur in particular, is that it's very Italian. It's right next to Italy, so it's no surprise, really. The people tend to gesticulate more when speaking and be more friendly in an overt kind of way. The architecture feels more Italian, too. If you look at Nice - the old city, the Promenade des Anglaises - it's all very beautiful and French. But it's pretty hard not to notice that there are some distinctly Italian parts, too. (While I don't have a photo, there were a ton of shops selling Italian food wares and fresh, handmade pasta. Yum.)
