Promenade du Soleil
A little trip back in time today, with some postcards from the same corner of Juan-les-Pins: what is now called Boulevard Baudouin, or "Promenade du Soleil" (well, its beginning).
Photos, dating from 1903 to 1967, show the evolution of the place...
Click on the first one to enlarge it, then use the next button to move to the next one, with the date of the photo appearing in the caption.
I'll take some photos of what this neighborhood looks like today (you can see it on Google Street View here )... And if I find any more postcards of the same place, I'll update this article to show how it's changed over the years! 😉
