Last Week in Nice – April 13, 2025

Fifteen snaps taken while out and about the past week. Above was on the Promenade des Anglais yesterday on what was a pleasantly cloudy and chill early evening.

The Nice Jazz Fest line-up was announced in recent days, set for 24-27 July, with 28 bands -four more than last year- again at Massena Square and the Theatre du Verdure. Website.

Marine Le Pen has had a rough few weeks. I liked the juxtaposition of the images of these three women in this newsstand arrangement: Lee Miller (the subject of this iconic portrait by Man Ray), existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir and Le Pen, who is presently battling to maintain her political existence.

‘Marie: dreams in prison’. This sticker was stuck on the ‘Hommage aux français d’Afrique du Nord de toutes confessions’, a monument dedicated to the French of North Africa.

Murals are beginning to appear in the lead-in to the United Nations Ocean Conference that Nice will host from 9-13 June.

Printemps des Migrations: a spring festival to bookmark for next year.

Some mid-April offerings at the Liberation Market this weekend, and for the cost-curious, the current prices. The produce in the first three images is organic; the fourth is not.

The April schedule at La Cave Romagnan Jazz club on Rue d’Angleterre.

And a few more street scenes.
