After 23 hours of traveling, we finally arrived... completely exhausted. After arriving here in Antibes (next to Nice) at 1, we spent the rest of the day sleeping by the ocean. Eventually we managed to crawl to our rooms where we changed and left for dinner. Somehow we randomly chose a cafe to eat at out of a street full of cafe's. I ordered the risotto with truffles. Pretty sure it was just butter rolled into pieces of risotto so of course it was delicious. Dinner was followed with actual ge...
Antibes, Provence, France dangerouspersonDaniel- "I used the bidet earlier, make sure its not on hot... It burns" Daniels first experience with the French culture was not the best. Needless to say, he has not used the bidet since. Saturday we spent most of the time in Cannes at the film festival. Mom and katie saw the red carpet being laid and police start to clear the way, they assumed this meant a celebrity was coming so they waited... for 90 minutes. A couple people we did not recognize entered and then we finally gave up, ate at...
France and monaco, France dangerouspersonA year gone by, I visited some major cities of France as a TOURIST and then returned back to my native place Agra, India as a FRENCH. Highly impressed with the nice people in Nice and gone gaga over various sights there. No exaggeration if I say Nice itself is an attraction. From riding Train Touristique to enjoying the beautiful Biblical themed paintings at Musee National, I left no corner unvisited. I smelt pleasantly at Marche aux Fleurs and felt famished to fill my belly to my heart conte...

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 darrenhough74... and not campervan parking friendly. We found a picture perfect stop just after Monte Carlo at the top of a hill overlooking the Med. We had the place to ourselves so we russelled up some brekkie in the sun which was lovely, so much so we were in t-shirts!!!
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 sofenjon... so we entered and relinquished our 10 Euro entry fee to enter the infamous Monte-Carlo casino only to relinquish several more euros once inside. Before leaving, we took a few minutes to appreciate the artwork and interior of the casino. For us, it felt like we were in a scene of Casino Royale with James Bond! I kept looking for Daniel Craig. <br><br>Our dinner reservations at Sabatini's was 8:30pm. The ...
Monte-Carlo, Monaco ricknelsieToday we got to have a really great sleep in. The first one for the trip. We didn't have anything organised for us to do today so we could get up at any time we liked. I got up just before 10 or so, so I could take advantage of the free breakfast, not that it was much. Most places so far had been pretty good but it was a little less than expected here with just a croissant, bread roll, and juice or coffee. I don't think ...
