It isn&#8217;t pretty. The 10-meter waves that pummelled the coast from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Menton\/Menton.html\">Menton <\/a>to Theole-sur-Mer swept away rows of beach restaurants as though they were children&#8217;s sand castles. The <em>plagistes <\/em>in charge of maintaining the establishments were devastated. Most were just in the process of readying the lounge chairs, parasols, tables, beverage services and kitchens in preparation for the summer season only to find nothing but sand and rocks where their livelihood had been.<\/p>\n<p>The damage on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Nice\/Beaches.htm\">Nice beaches<\/a> was terrible but the situation in<a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Cannes\/Cannes.htm\"> Cannes<\/a> is desperate. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Cannes\/FilmFestival.html\">Cannes Film Festival<\/a> opens in only a week and festival-goers depend on the luxuriously-appointed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Cannes\/Beaches.html\">Cannes beaches <\/a>for everything from afternoon cocktails to exclusive midnight parties. OK, maybe&#8217;s it&#8217;s not as desperate as fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico, but still. Our beautiful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\">Cote d&#8217;Azur<\/a> has little going on economically except tourism. Tarnish our sun &#8216;n sea reputation and what do we have? Shopping? Yes. Fine dining? That too. Culture? Sometimes. But our main selling point is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchrivieratraveller.com\/Sights\/Best-Beaches.html\">beaches<\/a>. If they go, you might as well stay in Moscow.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azuriens awoke to a steady drumbeat of radio, tv and newspaper reports this morning assessing the damage wreaked by yesterday&#8217;s furious storm.
