When the sun rises in this view
From mid-January to late November the sun rises inside this frame. In spring and autumn it comes straight out of the sea above the bay, right at the official sunrise time.
In early summer the sunrise moves to the left, behind the mountains towards Èze, and the sun appears up to half an hour later than the official time. In December it rises just beyond the right edge of this view, behind Cap Ferrat.
