Trip to Nice

For once I decided to travel to the south of France, renowed for its bright blue sea and warm weather... 

And hot it was, though early in the season! I was so captivated by this view that I had to take it into picture several times:

Gallery of Paleontology

If you ever happen to be near the Jardin des Plantes, don't forget to have a look at the Gallery of Paleontology and Comparative Anatomy.

 

It is a wonderful museum, sometimes overlooked in favor of the more famous Grand Gallery of Evolution, though it is just as fascinating (if not more); especially if you have - like I do - a particular interest in Biology!
