Hotel - Restaurant La Flore Villefranche-sur-Mer

i didn't actually stop in monte-carlo, but i caught the train from nice through monaco (saw the train station) to a town called ventimiglia, which after about half an hour i worked out was actually in italy! i had a few hours between trains so i walked down to the "beach" and enjoyed the sunshine! then i got on another train and went along the c...

We're staying at a holiday apartment building called Domain du Bois d'Amont which is just outside the village of Cabris on the Cote d'Azur. The nearest large town is Grasse, perfume capital of the world.

The building is on the side of a hill overlooking the whole coast from Nice to Cannes - very pretty on a clear day.

There's a...

Ashley (girl i met on the eternal train trip) and i stayed at the "world famous" villa st exupery and after a very late breakfast headed into town. after getting lost on the way to the tram stop we made it to the famous flower market just in time to see them closing! we went for a walk along the ocean, it wasn't sunny but the water was still rea...

Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey is a tiny village in the hinterland of the Cote d'Azur, about 6kms from where we are staying outside Cabris. There's not much of note in the town, although the existence of a local tourist office would seem to indicate otherwise. Incidentally, that's a great job if you can get it - they work 9.30am to 12.30pm, then 3pm to ...

'Operation bisous' is the name my French Oral Communication professor calls perfecting French pronunciation, simply because you transform your lips into a kissing position when you say many words in French, and bisous means 'kiss'. So the other day she asks us to go around repeating different words back to her, and when sounding out the syllable...

Gitte told us of Cap Jean de Ferret beach. They were sadley leaving. We got on bus and sought out this beach. Nice beach, but old locals and my kid...

Hi, it's Aaron. Sorry it has taken so long to write. Slacktown (Bonnie) hasn't had the energy to tell the world about our most recent experiences. Not to fret... Running for cover(s)... As Bonnie wrote last, we were starting to feel the "pressures" of being in school again (especially one that is at the top of a hill and and full of hacking/coug...

My brain hurts. I would say that in French, but I don't know how to yet. The first day of school was mainly administrative stuff, so there wasn't a lot to report. I talked to a few people, but like the true introvert that I am, didn't want to invest too much time until I found out who was in my class. Why "waste" time getting to know someone you...

I loved flying out to Europe at night instead of the morning. We slept on the plane, and when we woke up, it was afternoon there. So breakfast became lunch, and lunch became dinner, and we were ready for bed by the time we got settled in around 10pm or so. The flight over was fine as far as scheduling, but was really bumpy. I actually got scared...

We woke up yesterday morning in Barcelona to a breakfast of fresh, flaky croissants from the bakery across the road, and after a lazy morning together before our impending cruise ship departure, Jeff, Kat, Joy, Matt and the two of us decided to set out for a last trip to Guell Park. After some clowning around and photos on the outdoor escalators...
