Autumn with the sky clear and blue, and horses growing stout. It is really an ideal autumn day.
We left the hotel at 8:00 and drove straight to the pebble beach.
The west side along the coast is Promenade des Anglais (Promenade of the English), which has been a gorgeous meeting place since 19th century. The symbol is the famous Hotel Negresco, built in 1912. It passed by over the bus window.
More than that, from the beach over to the horizon, the sea surface was brilliant, changing from light blue to navy blue. Nice was like in early summer.
An old man in swimming pants was waving his hands in the shallows.

I found a hat shop near our assembly place. Under the attendant's advice, I bought a nice flat cap by a clerk's flattery.
