The Boulevard Carnot in Cannes is named after... whom? Sadi Carnot, of course, but which one? We have the choice between Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot (1796–1832), the French physicist who died during a cholera epidemic, or Marie François Sadi Carnot (1837–1894), president of France from 1887 until his assassination at age 57. It doesn’t help to know that the latter was the nephew of the former, or that neither of these men had anything to do with the Riviera in general or Cannes in particular. Still, this boulevard is the main thoroughfare that links the A8 highway to the center of Cannes, so it is almost perpetually congested. So what about today’s picture? Easy: the year-end tourists are not here yet, and the photo was taken yesterday at 12:40. The French were eating!
