Salernes - Nice

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 130.0 km

Good morning Salernes!

..first obstacles on the road...

...a dog-day afternoon...

Our French coordinators have chosen a route more inland than usual- a choice that really paid off. We enjoyed the most beautiful countryside for the whole day!

...we reached Grasse...

...even the fountains in Grasse smile...

...the last steps uphill...

Grasse centre....

... and George Washington welcomed us...

...we enjoyed a great view all the way to the Côte d'Azur!

...too much uphill?

...the police was very helpful. Thanks a lot!

...back at the Mediterranean Sea....

The promenade in Nice...

...the last steps...

...a city representative of Nice, together with local athletes, welcomed our team...

Thank you for the welcome!

...well done...

...a few spectators took the opportunity for a photo shooting with the torch...

Good bye France! Again a big "Thank You" to all coordinators and runners for the hospitality and the warm welcome!
