Promenade Moments

2016-2026 | Promenade des Anglais, Nice

« Les Moments de la Promenade » sont des rencontres éphémeres de passants, des moments de joie et de détente pour la famille et les amis. Les touristes apprécient les couleurs spectaculaires que même la pluie ne peut effacer. Les soldats font désormais partie de la prom’ où les enfants jouent joyeusement. Les gens s’arrêtent pour regarder l’infini de la mer bleue. Les moments et les mouvements nous entourent dans un endroit où le mal a tenté de prendre l’emprise, mais la liberté de la vie quotidienne pleine de tranquillité et de lumière continue à prévaler.

A woman passes by leaving only a blur while a man with an orange cap watches the waves on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Days with strong winds make the light and colours very intense. The spectacular blue of the sea stands in contrast with the colours of the people's clothes on a windy afternoon.

Walking along the promenade this man stopped to look at the beautiful classic hotel buildings across the street, next to the red life guard post on the beach (July 2017).

In the evening hours, this lady poses for a friend who takes pictures and she dances around the puddle of water on the Promenade des Anglais. She did not notice me taking pictures from a different angle and moved and danced and smiled at her friend, at the sea, at life (September 2017).
