I wanted to capture the sign promoting the mysterious beverage on this side street off the market in Antibes. Once banned in the United States and much of Europe, absinthe "la fée verte" (the green fairy) was the drink of choice for many artists of the day - van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Hemingway among them. Pause and observe the variety of retaurants and shops on just this small street.
