Anna left last night on a train to Italy after a week staying with us. We managed a couple more museums that I hadn't been to before: Musée d'Archeologique and the Musée d'Art moderne et d'Art contemporaine where we saw a rather disturbing display of works by a Jean Fabre, containing lots of animal (mainly insects) and human body parts. C'etait trés bizarre. His great-grandfather was a well-known entomologist, Jean Fabre.

Other things we managed to do:
walked around Antibes, went to "bandes dessins", English books and Asian foods shops
walked around old Grasse and saw the costume and jewellery museum
drove to Mons and did a walk downhill towards the aqueduct romaine
found first geocache near the Col de Vence (St Barnabé) (from Geocaching)
dinner in Mougins (vieille ville) with Martin Childs and Norman and Sharon
I played tennis in the heat while Anna went and explored Nice by train
