TIMISOARA, Romania – For the second straight Beach World Series event, the United States came home with a record three medals. 2024 World champion Eliana Bommarito won a gold medal at Over 70 kg for women, Daniel Cardenas won a silver medal at 80 kg for men and Nikolas Stemmet won a bronze medal at Over 90 kg for men at the Beach World Series Timisoara in Romania on Sunday. At the previous 2024 Beach World Series event in Saint Laurent du Var, France, the USA won three medals, a gold from Bommarito, a silver from Mariah Anderson at 50 kg for women and a bronze from Kyle Ferriter at Over 90 kg for men. Bommarito continued her dominance of the Beach World wrestling scene, winning her fourth Beach World Series gold medal. She won her semifinal match today over Florentina Biru of Romania, 3-0, then stopped Aikaterina Pitsiava of Greece, 3-0. She won three of her four matches in less than a minute. It is Bommarito’s fourth career Beach World Series gold medal, two from 2023 and now two in 2024. No other American has won more than one Beach World Series gold. Cardenas went 2-0 on Saturday, then lost his final Group C match to Christos Christoforidis of Greece, 3-2. Cardenas scored enough points in the Group competition to earn a spot in the semifinals, where he beat Ramiz Hasanov of Azerbaijan, 2-1. In the championship finals, he lost to Christoforidis, 4-0 and came home with a silver medal. Stemmet also went 2-0 on Saturday, then lost his final Group C match to fellow American Gabe Rangel by pin. Stemmet scored enough points to advance to the semifinals, where he lost to Mamuka Kordzaia of Georgia, 3-0. In the bronze-medal match, he beat Omar Sarem of Syria, 3-2. Justin Benjamin, who won a Beach World Series event in Acapulco, Mexico earlier this year, placed fifth at 70 kg, finishing with a 3-1 record. He advanced to the elimination rounds, but was defeated in the quarterfinals. Team USA placed third in the men’s division with 45 points, behind team champion Turkey with 54 points and runner-up Azerbaijan with 52 points. Although Bommarito was the only U.S. entry, the USA team was fourth in the women’s standings, which was won by Ukraine.

The way we approach our work, wether it is to make bread or developing an architecture project, have very similar guidelines : Taking advantage from the resources, the craftsmanship and revealing it in the work. © Lorenzo ZandriIn the raw ground floor of a new building, their wish of having an authentic bakery without unnecessary actions wasn’t easy. This is why our discussion firstly focussed on materials, which from our point of view need to be crafted by the hands and tools of the workers. © Lorenzo ZandriThe reflexion has rapidly turned around three elements: raw earth plaster, terra cotta and wood. © Lorenzo ZandriThe use of bio-based materials encourages architects and craftsmen to immerse themselves in skills that have been forgotten and erased by the modern era. Standardisation, rentability and the velocity of the process takes us away from traditional and durable techniques. The idea is not to reinvent everything but to take advantage of what we know is efficient and combine it with the contemporary aesthetic codes. AxonometryRegarding the layout of spaces, the reflexion has been oriented in a radical simple lecture of the different parts of the program. On the foreground, an accessible public foreground with the retail and lunch, and a background exposing the various tools of the baker, organized around a central masterpiece oven, visual landmark of the bakery. © Lorenzo ZandriBeyond a very passionate duo this project is also a story based on the unwavering confidence of Jean Christophe and Thibault in our practice The deeply enthusiastic father and son were always pushing us in our creativity right up to the last studio handmade pieces of ceramic You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email The inauguration of the new Chamber of Trades and Crafts of Alpes-Maritimes was attended by Jean-Pierre Galvez President of the Chamber of Trades and Crafts of the Alpes-Maritimes Numerous personalities from the department were also present including Joseph Segura President of the General Council of the Alpes-maritimes Vice President of the Regional Council of Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur This building was awarded the gold label of the organization “Mediterranean Sustainable Buildings” and respects the charter for the environmental quality of construction operations in Mediterranean regions (renewable energy control of the impact associated with construction the construction of this new building was funded primarily by the CMA 06 equities it has received the financial assistance from the Region Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur and BBC Effinergie www.cma06.fr Click on pictures to enlarge – ©YesICannes.com – All rights reserved and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Nice and get ready to soak up the sun in the French Riviera's glamorous beating heart Nice’s beaches are the French Riviera at its absolute best And they’re not a one-trip pony either; on our list we’ve included options for all budgets from nearby classics to hidden coves and réserves.  You’ll have heard of some of them, but for summer 2024 there’s a newcomer on our list – Bocca Mar, a fabulous little beach joined to a new restaurant from last year, picked by local writer Chloe Braithwaite. Generally speaking, you want to visit one of these gems between April and October when things are hot. Ready? Us too. Here are the best beaches in Nice.  RECOMMENDED:📍 The best things to do in Nice🍴 The best restaurants in Nice🛍️ The best shops in Nice🏘️ The best Airbnbs in Nice tiny La Réserve is a lesser-known public beach tucked away to the east of Nice town in the port area Why go? Just strolling distance from the centre of Nice La Réserve may get crowded thanks to its diminutive dimensions but its seclusion from the main stretch lends it a relaxed The famed diving boards that crazed local teens have long leapt from have been renovated as part of a restaurant serving great food with views to match The latest addition to Nice’s famous stretch of peddles Bocca Mar is the beach-front sibling of the rooftop restaurant Oasis in Nice’s old town.   Bocca Mar is the cool younger sister everyone wants to be seen with with a resident DJ playing from 8pm until 2am the beach bar doubles as a seaside nightclub then dip low on the dancefloor—this spot has it all this private beach at the foot of the Old Town is the largest in the French Riviera and has five-star amenities to match Why go? You have to go glam at least once on each visit to the Côte d’Azur and there are few better places than the Plage Beau Rivage Take a table at the gourmet restaurant not 30 feet from the shore sup a sundowner at the luxe lounge bar or just stretch out on a striped lounger for a well-earned snooze.  What is it? Nice’s oldest private beach and former opera house pavilion have been serving locals and vacationers alike since 1889 under the watchful eye of the Maiffret family Why go? One hundred and twenty-seven years of dedicated service has allowed the Maiffrets to hone their skills to provide some of the best hospitality in Nice Whether you ‘need’ a massage in your sun lounger or a new swimming costume from their collection What is it? A short drive from Nice centre but well worth the effort for a spot of seclusion calm waters and some of the best swimming on the French Riviera Why go? The public beach has excellent amenities loads of water sports to try your hand at in the Club Nautique from scuba to sailing and tranquillity in the elegant Papaya Beach and ramshackle tasty restaurant in Anjuna Bay The public beach is braced at each end by private beach clubs What is it? Another family-run affair along the Promenade des Anglais dating back a century it’s like stepping into an idyll from the French Riviera’s golden age A wooden platform with steps into the sea saves pebble-worn feet a saltwater pool with a lifeguard keeps the kids entertained 80 private cabins with hot showers maintain your modesty and Le Coin Lounge serves fresh Niçois dishes and an array of fabulous local wines What is it? The easternmost private beach along the Baie des Anges Castel is nestled under the headland and chateau and feels far removed from Nice’s throbbing crowds.  Why go? Castel offers awesome facilities for a price and rolls friendly service into the mix – not something Nice establishments are famed for the restaurant serves fantastic Niçois food and ice-cold Provençal rosé to your table or lounger and the Med is only a pebble’s throw away What is it? A private beach open year-round that is only steps away from some of Nice’s best hotels like the Negresco and Palais de la Méditeérranée on the Promenade des Anglais Why go? Often referred to as gastro plage, thanks to its excellent restaurant the beach and restaurant are a boon for anyone willing to pay for entry The kids will love the beach swimming pool trampoline and well-curated watersports activities Villefranche plage is a 15-minute two-euro bus ride away and offers that rarest of things on the French Riviera: sand Why go? Alongside the pebble-free sunbathing public Villefranche is a gem in the classic beachy sense glistening warm waters and a range of restaurants and ice cream stalls to gorge on easygoing Carras at the western end of the Promenade des Anglais offers easy access and lifeguards so anyone with a disability can get in the water Why go? Aside from disability-friendly amenities Carras is also Nice’s only pet-friendly plage so expect drenched mutts and the odd rogue Frisbee It’s also the only beach where you can rent jet skis or where you can borrow free books and magazines in multiple languages What is it? Named after the pebbles that make up Nice’s beaches, Le Galet is a high-end new offering opposite Albert-ler Gardens with as much onus on food and drinks as its beachy setting Why go? Rather obscurely promising ‘the softest pebbles of the Côte d’Azur’ chic is Le Galet’s byword with a focus on Italian design fresh food (the poke bowl is to die for) and social events (aka parties) Very en vogue with Nice’s in-crowd it’s also one of the best places to see the February carnival march past What is it? The Plage des Flots Bleus in St Laurent du Var near Nice airport is the ultimate all-in-one beach day destination.   Why go? At one end sits the Cap 3000 shopping mall with 150+ shops And in between is a brace of restaurants, handiplage access for less able beachgoers beach clubs and early in the summer season before the tides wash it away… sand What is it? Keep wandering past the port and La Réserve beach you will spot this tiny slice of rocks and pebbles – sometimes heaving with locals offers showers to wash away that crystal clear salt water and a single restaurant that may be closed drape your towel over one of the big rocks (trust us they are comfier than the pebbles) and settle in for some serious sunning What is it? Plonked almost in the middle of the Baie des Anges along a stretch that affords more room than most Le Voilier is a heady mix of private and public beaches Why go? Head to the gently sloping public beach for easy access to the sea a year-round restaurant and everything from cheap towels to three-person day beds to lounge the day away Thanks for subscribing!

About us Contact us Storms and cold temperatures combined yesterday (April 22) in the south of France bringing rare hail to the French Riviera - turning several towns and beaches white.  Picturesque towns and cities along the coastline such as Nice and Saint-Laurent-du-Var – hotspots for tourists in the summer – were all affected by the storms temperatures in Nice and the surrounding area were 4.4C the lowest in all of France at that time.  Below are some photos and videos of the storms shared on social media.  Nice looked dramatically different yesterday evening as streets in the western half of the city lined with a white coating after hailstorms ⛈️ Un orage de grêle concerne Nice sur la côte d'Azur ce lundi.

For the first time since the creation of the Beach World Series in 2019, the United States took home three medals from the same Beach World Series event. Team USA scored a gold medal, a silver medal and a bronze medal at Beach World Series Saint-Laurent-du-Var. 2023 World champion Eliana Bommarito (Brighton, Mich. (Michigan Revolution WC) captured the gold medal at Over 70 kg, dominating all five matches, including a 44 second pin in the finals over Liudmyla Pavlovets Tychyna of Ukraine. This was Bommarito’s third career Beach World Series gold medal, to go with 2023 golds in Mugla, Turkey and Constanta, Romania. No other U.S. Senior Beach wrestler has won more than one Beach World Series medal. Bommarito scored three straight takedowns in the semifinals to defeat Stefania Zacheila of Greece, 3-0 on Saturday afternoon. Earlier on Saturday morning, she won her final Group match over Marine Le Cour Grandmaison of France, giving her a 3-0 record to win Group B and advance to the semifinals. Mariah Anderson (Houston, Texas/Air Force RTC) won a silver medal at 50 kg. She was defeated in the finals by Viktoriia Slobodeniuk of Ukraine, 2-0. Slobodeniuk scored a takedown and a step out for the win. Anderson had lost to Slobodeniuk, 5-2 in the first Group match, then won three straight times to earn the rematch in the finals. Anderson won her first career medal at the Beach World Series. She is just the fifth U.S. Senior woman to come home with a World Series medal, joining Bommarito, Laura White, Kristal Betanzo and Diana Betanzo with World Series podium finishes. Anderson earned her spot in the finals with a clutch 2-1 win over Yulia Zasulska of Ukraine in the semifinals. Anderson fell behind 1-0 on a takedown, but tied it up at 1-1 with a takedown of her own in the final minute of the match. As time ran down, Anderson clinched the victory with a step out point. Earlier in the day, Anderson won her final Group match, stopping Claudia Cabrera of Argentina, 3-0, to place second in Group A and advance to the semifinals. Kyle Ferriter (Colorado Springs, Colo.) emerged with bronze medal at Over 90 kg, his first career Beach World Series medal. He becomes only the sixth U.S. man to claim a Beach World Series medal, along with Justin Benjamin, Tim Box, Reece Humphrey, Michael Peters and Tyson Beauperthuy. Ferriter finished with a 2-2 record in a five-athlete round robin. On Saturday, he won his morning match with a 3-0 win over Alessio Vandi of Italy in just 13 seconds. His final match was a 3-0 loss to Vazha Daiauri of Ukraine, who captured the silver medal. Justin Benjamin (70 kg) and Jamal Morris (90 kg) dropped their final Group matches on Saturday morning and did not advance to the semifinals round. Morris finished sixth and Benjamin was eighth. Mitch Brown, who lost a knockout match on Friday, was ninth at 70 kg. “That’s the first time we have had three medalists, and that’s another record. We had another gold medal, the fourth consecutive event we have had a gold medalist. We also had a second finalist. Our women’s team placed second, another record in itself. Our men’s team placed fifth, which is respectable as well,” said U.S. coach Tim Box.

Fortunately the children were in bed,” said another from Carros, as reported by local media Nice Matin.  A more powerful earthquake was recorded in the area earlier this year.  Read more:
