Travel Blogs from Provence, France
The Good The Bad and the Amazing
This is a top pick! When one travels, ones never imagines the unsightly scenes that lie ahead. When one reads Frommer's or Fodor's travel guides it is rare to see pictures of the things that no one wants to see. But of course these things, distasteful as they ...
Canadian couple en route
This is a top pick! While the 3 of us organized the last things and left Venezuela for France, Roman was/is finishing his drama classes in London, England and Tristan and Peggy were getting ready to leave Canada to follow us. From what I hear, their ordeal was not exactly ...
Gorges du Loup
This is a top pick! Each time we go to France, there are a few things we « must » do: besides eating baguettes and overdoing on chocolate, we need to wander in old villages, taste « un éclair au café, un millefeuilles et un flan », admire the ...
Sightseeing and a scavenger hunt for food
This is a top pick! ... lunch menu yet and walked away leaving us sitting at the table. How difficult can it be to get a croissant and a juice in France, apparently very. So we got up and left this place to continue our search for morning food. We tried another restaurant ...
Family time
This is a top pick! Family time! It is not every day that I get to be with all my brothers (4) and a few days before Father's day, we arranged a surprise "coffee" where we all got together for a quick photo before everyone else had to go back to work...I thought June would ...
Île Sainte-Marguerite
This is a top pick! ... we could park. It might just have been that Norman has the wrong license plate for this country as he drives a UK registered car in France. All worked out fine as we were in time for the ferry that took us across to the island. It takes only 15 minutes ...
Nice = Nice
This is a top pick! ... along Nice for a bit before heading back to the wonderful hills of California in Cannes. Norman and JoJo invited us to stay a day longer to see the island in their 'back yard'. We really like this part of France, so we happily accepted. ...
Bonjour Cannes
This is a top pick! ... . Slightly refreshed we enjoyed our Yogurt and Cereal breakfast that we bought the day before in our room. We were ready to leave for France again. Our next destination is Cannes on the Cote D'Azur. It is here that friends of ours invited us over to their ...
City by the sea...with an edge
This is a top pick! Arrived in Marseilles after an uneventful train ride from Nimes. While expensive, the trains in France are quite comfortable and timely. A quick but expensive taxi driven by the most polite and charming gentleman encountered in France ...
The City of 1000 Fountains
This is a top pick! (S) Long before we came up with this whole Great Escape to Europe for five months idea, we talked about spending a few days in Aix for a vacation. We spent two days here in April, spending the night in a campground above the city. Still a bit cold ...
Lifestyles of the Starsky and Hutch
This is a top pick! (C) We took off down the coast in our car, since that's the only means by which a traveler can get here - I guess except for on their yacht, which we accidentally left in Montana. And yes, although we're on our way to Aix, this seemed kind of on ...
Ballades
This is a top pick! Last visits to the country side...as soon as you get out of the very busy streets of Cannes and the coastal towns, you find nature and quiet and some pretty wonderful spots... in fact, when I look at a map, it reminds me of so many outings I did when I ...
Bulls, Bulls, Bulls....
This is a top pick! ... and evening. My waistline and pocketbook are feeling it. At times he has joined us and we have been able to hear more about France and get to know him and other times he has left the four of us on our own (the tour group is very small) to get ...
We Do Our Grocery Shopping in Monte Carlo
This is a top pick! ... e-mails. We have been without internet for 10 days. It would seem Italy is much more technologically advanced than the south of France. Or maybe the people that live or vacation here have people who check their email for them. Or they just don't care. ...
Le Trayas (en français aussi)
This is a top pick! Cristal and blue waters, red rugged rocks made of porphyre, cliffs and hidden coves… the « Estérel » goes far into the horizon and we find a small isolated beach…only the locals seem to know this dream place…yet, I see garbage ...
Saint Benezet Patron Saint of Architects!
This is a top pick! Saw two UNESCO Heritage sites here: the Saint-Benezet Bridge and the Palais de Popes. Learned that architects have a Patron Saint-Benezet. Good to know, we really need it at times! Our cute hotel was located right outside the ...
Nice
This is a top pick! Hey all, Liam here. Once again we've managed to cover a fair bit of ground since the last update, so strap yourselves in - it's gonna be a lengthy and mildly enjoyable thrill ride! This one covers Vienna, Venice, Milan and Arezzo. Thanks again to all ...
Time for a swim on the French Riviera
This is a top pick! 26.7.06 Menton France At 7am the police arrived at the skate ramp park to remind us we had to move on by 8am. As it was still warm we took the opportunity to have a dip in the Mediterranean at Menton, France. The water was warm and the beach ...
France rocks!
This is a top pick! Sometime in the 13th century, the powerful Count of Sabran sought to strengthen control over his territory in southern France by fortifying the castle atop the hill overlooking the village of Saint Victor la Coste. For example, stone walls were built ...
Nice, France
This is a top pick! Day 73 - We packed our bags and said goodbye to the feather bed. Now weighed down by our extra box of souvenirs we made our way to the train station. The train ride was quick and most of the time ran along the ocean. I was starting to get excited for the ...
Eating our way through France . . .
This is a top pick! ... cannot get back in the States. The next stop on our gastronomical tour was a beautiful french farmhouse in the heart of Provence. Since we arrived without a car we were essentially stranded at our B&B. This horrible fate meant that we had to hike in ...
Starsky and Bigfoot Go for a Walk
This is a top pick! (S) Day two in the French Riviera. While the studio is simply fantastic, it is definitely a vacation apartment and is used by friends of my family for only short periods of time. We are pretty sure the longest people stay here is about 3 days. So when we ...
Destination: Spain!
This is a top pick! ... to 3) journey through Spain and Portugal on Friday the 13th? Exactly. So venture out we did. We were to spend the first night in Carcassone, France. We took the very small, rural two lane roads and found the great little town of Entrevaux along the ...
Going down south
This is a top pick! ... Our taxi dropped us off at the Gare de Lyon, the gateway to the south. Here all the TGV trains leave for their destinations across France. We found our train on platform C, the TGV to Marseilles. It was incredibly busy at the station, as it is one of the ...
Easter Sunday on the Cote d'Azur
This is a top pick! ... chaplain even thinking Chad was English. The service was wonderful and a perfect beginning to our Easter in the south of France. Once back home in our little apartment, we starting preparing our picnic - fried chicken, broccoli salad, French baguette ...
Red October
This is a top pick! ... what they have to offer. We chose as a starting point Chateau Neuf du Pape, home to the most palatable red made in France. While that in itself was good fun we also happened upon a fairytale castle turned hotel just around the bend called Fine ...
Expensive cars and a race track!
This is a top pick! today we slept in just nicely and i finally think i've been catching up with sleep. The day was nice, so the shorts went on again and we headed just 25 minutes out of Nice to Monaco! Now Monaco is a seperate country and only is about 1.9km square. The ...
Celeb spotting in St-Tropez
This is a top pick! After a day of admin back at the hotel we were keen to get out and see more of the Riviera so we booked a trip to another millionaire's paradise, St Tropes. The tour would take us on a 1:30 bus ride along the coast through sexy little towns and passing ...
Two Euro lunch stop
This is a top pick! Our stop in Avignon was just long enough for a short stroll along the river bank to streach the legs and take a few photos of the half built bridge and the city wall. I'm not sure if this little town needs much more time than ...
Arles
This is a top pick! ... (for about an hour) in the corner of an airport (we had to be there for 4:30am so we just hung out), flying to Provence, taking a bus to Marseille, and a train to Arles, we are sure anything would seem nice. Considering the weather here is 28 and sunny, ...
