St. Paul de Vence & Vence
... kendimi bir restaurantin bahcesine attim. Bari bu kadar yorgunlugun uzerine kendimi gercek bir ziyafetle odullendireyim: Ton balikli salata :) Vence koyu aslinda bir kalenin ici. Cok ilginc bir sey yok. Hersey sirin ve tarihi. Fotograflara bakarsiniz. ...
Lac St.Croix and the Gorges du Verdon
... and bathe in Lac St.Croix...YEAH our first swim in hot, hot, weather! The drive was long, but worthwhile. We didn't arrive in Vence until 21h00. Our quad room at L'Auberge des Cayron was lovely! Paul went on the internet and Stephane and I went for a swim ...
St Paul de Vence my last perched village!
... I watched some old men playing petanque (a sort of lawn bowls game...but played on small yellow stones- played everywhere in France) for awhile and then started walking through the beautiful towns tiny streets, through the boutiques and art galleries and ...
Safe and sound…almost
... hills dating back to the middle ages with churches surrounded by old stone walls. It was just outside one of these towns called Vence that we found our campsite that would be our home for the next three nights. As we rode into the campsite it ...
A day of reflection…
... star hotel room in Gibraltar costing only 60 Euro. Food was also cheap, with Beer at 2 Euro and coffee 1.50. In France everything is expensive. Gas is 1.40 Euro per litre and food and lodging very expensive as well. Beer is 4 Euro ...
Along the French Rivierra
Left Avignon today headed along the Rivierra. Called past the impressive Pont du Gard - a Roman viaduct - a marvellous piece of engineering. Decided to have a quick look at Marsailles on the way, so stopped and had some lunch on the coast, ...
Possibly the world's most artistic village?
This lovely village, St-Paul-de-Vence, is, we are reliably informed, the third most visited place in France, following on from Paris and Le Mont St Michel. We can understand why. Not only is it an old stone fortified village, with most of the town walls ...
A swim at Cannes
Decided on another 'rest' day today, as the campsite was nice. Headed down to the coast at Cannes and swam at the beach amongst all the 'film stars'. Weather was hot and the water warm. A few big yachts moored off the coast. Then ...
Tou rist or not tou rist
... Grasse, then head east (instead of west, where we went through the gorge a couple of days back). Juliet set the GPS for Vence (which we'd identified on the map Simon and Mary lent us) and we were off through another mountainous, winding track looking at ...
Arriving in Vence countryside...
Arrived at a lovely home in the Provence countryside--between Vence and Grasse. Perfect headquarters for our ...
Go, Go, Go, Go!!!!
... I was snapping pictures. Its hard to believe how old the roads were or how different the lives and lifestyles must have been. Vence offers a taste of mideval structures and proximities. The walled area can be walked in a matter of minutes. Its hard to ...
The south of France
I spent a few wonderful weeks in the South of France, where I learned to drive on the right-hand side of the road, and put my school-learned French to the test. I saw the rich and famous at the Cannes Film Festival, and flirted outrageously with ...
back
... delicious and abundant--and headed off for some more Provence sightseeing. This time we headed over to St Paul de Vence , a beautiful artist colony in an old Medeival walled city. It was almost untouchably expensive, but lots of fun and ...
