Nice - Cimiez

17 Mar 2011 190
Looking from the wonderful gardens of the monastery of Cimiez down to the mediterranian sea on an overclouded winterday. The green knoll is the place of the former citadel, that was demolished with all ramparts in 1705. Today, by the way, the French Foreign Legion ("Légion étrangère") has an office near that place, but I did not apply for a job. Unfortunately not to be seen is the "Place Garibaldi" (just in front of the knoll), named after italian hero Guiseppe Garibaldi, who was born 1807 - in Nice.
