Meynadier-by-Night
Saturday, October 10, 2009
If further proof that the season is winding down were needed, this photo of the usually hustling and bustling Rue Meynadier would do it. You would think that the time is not too far from two o’clock in the morning: Just about all the stores are shuttered, and there is literally not a soul in sight. Yet it was only 9:05 p.m. when I took this picture last weekend. In July, August, and early September, this main artery of the old Cannes would still be teeming with hungry tourists on the lookout for a last bargain or late dinner. One block south of here, the restaurants are still busy, but one can now go eat around 8 p.m. without having made a reservation. As fun as the hubbub can be, it’s also nice to see things gradually quiet down as we head towards even shorter days.
