Roquebrune

So, in my absence, here continues the posting about our wonderful weekend at Menton and surroundings on the invitation by Jilly. (See previous post.)

This one is about Roquebrune (see map on the previous post), like Menton part of France since 1860. Roquebrune is situated on a hill with some fabulous views. You can distinguish Monaco in the background on my photos. There is a cemetery on the top of the hill - with the grave of Le Corbusier (see previous posts). Close to the cemetery you can admire a 2000 years old olive tree (part of the trunk on one of my photos).

Some of the surrounding villages including the posh Cap Martin are now part of a commune with the official name Roquebrune-Cap Martin.

You can find these photos in full and as slideshow on Ipernity.
