small café
My terrace neigbour told me : "here you'll find interesting types to photograph, as everywhere between Nice and Marseille". After almost 6 month of lockdown and diverse curfews the Riquier area in Nice seems to be blooming again. Diverse types of people indeed and the large beach parasol protection somewhath from the traffic make it all!

Inaugurated in 1884, the pontoon of the lido was the support of a casino competing with the municipal casino. After the palace was burned to ashes by the nazi occupiers in 1944, the pontoon stilled remained a fixed point in the Nice landscape.
An ecological monster for some, a diving board or just a cool element for others, the pontoon just lived its last days in total discretion - due to the lockdown.

Halles de la buffa in times of Coronavirus. The "cité" has been bought by a big agro-food group in 2018.
The development works should have started mid-2019 and be finished in 2010. The market is still so desolated. The last sales men are still there, with mask on. offering quality food to loyal clients.
