Have you ever thought that things were better "in the old days"? I have. Actually, I think so most of the time.
From the balcony of my apartment on top of a 8-storey building, I can see the Pic Saint-Loup, the old city and the Mediterranean in the distance.
I love watching the thin stretch of sea, shown in the upper photo. But soon it will have disappeared from my panorama. The stretch has already shrunk as you can see in the lower photo.
Concrete has seized absolute power over Montpellier. Too much concrete. I have counted 15 cranes between me and the sea. Many people think our beautiful city is losing its soul. I agree.
Montpellier is a frog that wants to be as big as a cow, like in La Fontaine's fable.
