Unknown

Sometimes, in flea markets , I find some pictures.
Some have some words written on their back , giving some clues.
There was nothing behind this one.

I like to save them. Trying to imagine a life, a name..
Just a way to give a little more life to forgoten people .

Agay



 "Life brings tears , smiles and memories .
The tears dry , the smiles fade , 
but the memories last forever ."










 

AGAY is a small city on the french Riviera

Old colors

 

Once upon a time , 

old pictures were black and white;

But sometimes , somehow , some people wanted to see them in colors..

Partner in crime


 


As someone said in a comment that I was "the queen of postcards",

I'd like to thank here the guy who kindly and  regularly helps me to look for my kind of things in his collections and sells  them to me .

You'll find him (and often me!) at the market of the Palais de Justice every first, third and fourth saturday of each month.

Festival de Cannes



Today is the last day of the worldwide  famous 




But long before becoming the city of movies , stars and glamour , 

the place was a simple  harbour for fishermen.





Later, during the XIXth century, 
the town began to attract tourists and painters, 
both loving its light and its beauty.






Let's not forget our roots !

Then and now



 

What was an harbour became a beach, 

with a small port round the corner.

Nesting a  little more boats , well ranked .

But the beautiful Villa Kerylos is still standing proudly, 

showing the everlasting beauty of the mediterranean world ..
