After brekkie it was onto Menton which is a lovely little town just before the Italian border. Menton is a much more down to earth place than its neighbours and more our scene. We found a park right on the beach and went for a wander and took in sum much needed sun. Next stop Italia!!<br>
Menton, Provence, France darrenhough74Up early as it was a spectacular sunrise - full of pinks and organges. We wanted to hit McWifi before we entered Italy but we did not find one until later in the day in Menton. Before that we drove the coast road through Nice and Monte Carlo, both concrete ...
Monte-Carlo, Monaco darrenhough74... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on! <br> At the end of the gorge we joined the road towards Cannes, which was route Napoleon, orginially created by him as a pass through the mountains...very windy. Our destination for the evening was Grasse where we found a good park overlooking the city lights and our first view of the Med.
Grasse, Provence, France darrenhough74... Sailboats were docked at the marina (knez, it made me think of you). Diane ordered mussles and Jon and I had our first mussels ever. They were delicious. Thank you Diane for helping me discover my love for sea food. St-Tropez was further than we thought, but thank god we ...
Cannes, Provence, France sofenjonWe were so excited to have another person travelling with us, that our time spent with Diane was mostly fighting over her for her attention and trying to get her to side with one of us. She was definitely a good friend to both of us ( and didnt favor me, which I thought she should have ...
Nice, Provence, France sofenjonBonjour! Today we arrive at Monaco! A district of royalty and affluence! The home of Prince's and Princesses! An area visited by many Prince's and Princesses as well as celebrities, millionaires and billionaires! It's a place to see and be seen! It's a location where wealth is a necessity and sophistication is a requirement! <br><br>Also today, Elsie celebrates a birthday! Her 60th! That little girl born on ...
Monte-Carlo, Monaco ricknelsie... we try to figure out how to get a ticket, hope on the next train going just about our way and have to catch another train to get home.<br><br>It did rain here and some of our bedding did get wet. Len dries it with the hair dryer and all is well. Joe's tent and all inside got wet, he is off to a friend's place or the airport for the night.<br><br>What an incredible day for sights and sounds, even though some of them were only in our heads! <br><br>
Monaco, Monaco dancejillI am still several of days away from my scheduled trip to Venice to Carnival, and still had time to spare as I progress toward Venice so I decided to check out the scene a couple of days at the French Riviera! Nice (pronounced Niece) is nice ;) The first day I walked around the glamorous city and shops for hours, and made my way to the beach for sunset. You would expect something as glamorous as the French Riviera to have ...
Nice, France jaywehrs... Now we are having dinner, and we will head to bed reasonably early as we would like to explore a little tomorrow before making our way to Menton by train. Mum and Dad Worsley recommended we try the fish soup in Nice somewhere, so we have decided to do this on our last night in Nice, because we will spoil ourselves and go to a nice restaurant near the water after we have explored some more of the city. Goodnight Love S&T
Nice, France suzandtrent... on the Côte d'Azur in August 1944, and the region was liberated. It didn't take Nice long to bounce back, and the bohemian jet set soon returned. When Algeria negotiated its independence from France in 1962, Nice's population was further boosted by an influx of refugees from North Africa. In the 1980s and early '90s politics in Nice was marred by corruption. The right-wing mayor Jacques Médécin was twice found guilty of income tax evasion during his 24-year mayorship (1955-90). In ...
