Nice, France

A man pushes a stroller down Place Charles-Felix, in front of the 18th-century apartment building where Henri Matisse lived and worked from 1921 to 1938. Residents of his former top-floor dwelling have sweeping views of the farmers market along the eastern end of the Cours Seleya square and the lively Promenade des Anglais.
