Even as we sit out the winter in Canada, we, too, have been hit by a load of white stuff ❄️❄️❄️. Can you spot the instigator in the first frame?

Scrolling through images of the Côte d’Azur on Instagram, I’m feeling all Man-in-the-Iron-Mask. He (or she, no one is sure) lived here in le Fort Royal in the 1600s. The prison was set at the edge of l’Île Sainte-Marguerite, letting him gaze on the splendour of Cannes and the sea - but with all the obvious restrictions in place, he couldn’t get there. (In our case, let’s just hang in there.)

I’m Christmas shopping in our winter hometown in Canada, and I keep thinking it’d be SO MUCH EASIER to find that perfect gift in our summer hometown of Antibes

We adore Le Nomade, Jaume Plensa’s monumental sculpture that has looked out over the Mediterranean from Port Vauban, Antibes’ main port, since 2010. You can photograph the sculpture a thousand ways, but does this picture paint a thousand words? #antibes #nomade #rivieraart #cotedazur #plensa #apicturepaintsathousandwords
