View on Antibes

Red Valentino’s dress.
Antibes, ville de mon enfance,
Objet de mon affection,
A jamais dans mon esprit et mon cœur…
Claude Monet painted the French Riviera and Antibes several times. This piece of art called “View seen from the Salis garden” was realized in 1888. Antibes is a well known town on the French Riviera, located between Cannes (12km) and Nice (20km). Antibes is a historic town ; it was the only town on the coast to be protected by ramparts.

Petals of cherry blossoms carried away by the wind

There is a beautiful Haiku (short poem) by Kakimoto Tae from 1893 translated in French :
Au ciel s’en vont
Les pétales de cerisiers
D’une seule envolée.

Translated in English by me :
To the sky are going
The petals of cherry trees
By one flight.
