  Day 3385 (Tuesday) 15th September 2026 This is Saint Agnes and this is the Chateau des Anglais between Nice and Villefranche. It was yet another beautiful day and we went into Nice for our weekly kebab.

There was another cruise ship in the bay so the passengers had a lovely day to visit. We took the scooter to Saint-Jean Cap-Ferrat to see the classica car exhibition and had lunch first.
