Il Faro di Cap Ferret (Nizza)
Il Faro di Cap Ferret
by Salvatore Petrantoni

Lungo il percorso ad anello ci si imbatti in questo ristrutturato e moderno Faro. Il nome di Faro Il nome deriva dall'isola di Pharos, di fronte ad Alessandria d'Egitto, dove nel III secolo a.C. era stata costruita una torre sulla quale ardeva costantemente un gran fuoco, in modo che i naviganti su quei fondali potessero districarsi dalla retrostante palude Mareotide.

Èze est une commune française située dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes, à 12 km de Nice. Perché en nid d'aigle au sommet d'une imposante et superbe falaise, on aperçoit de loin le village et son église ocre clair. Une végétation luxuriante de bananiers, dattiers, caroubiers, orangers et citroniers témoigne du climat fort agréable régnant sur ce site très touristique.

Èze is a French commune located in the Alpes-Maritimes department, 12 km from Nice. Perched in an eagle's nest at the top of an imposing and superb cliff, you can see the village and its light ocher church from afar. A luxuriant vegetation of banana trees, date palms, carob trees, orange trees and lemon trees testifies to the very pleasant climate prevailing on this very tourist site.
