Dear All After a really amazing start to my pre-Christmas mini-trip to Monaco and the south of France, I bade farewell to my time in the second smallest country in the world, as I headed towards a bus stop for a bus which would take me back to France. My apartment building was right at the top of the Monaco mountain side, and I was pretty much heading straight down to the central Place d'Armes - ... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

This house was for sale...
when I vacationed in Antibes in the early '80's. I was really tempted to purchase it!

Côte d'Azur delights
Dave here....glad you enjoyed your time in this area of France. Monaco of course is an amazing amount of wealth packed tightly. Also glad you liked Nice. We enjoyed our short stay there as well.

A small world
It is great that you visited this area after Bob's recommendation. We hope to do so also. I find it interesting that you took a photo of a house that Bob considered buying. What a small world!

Beautiful French Coast
Jam packed fun once again.... Nice, Cannes, Antibes.... all the hot spots. I'm glad to hear how polite and friendly everyone was. We have found the French to be kind no matter their reputation. When we travel to these glitzy locations we always wonder how people obtained so much discretionary income and why they would spend it in this manner. To each their own. MJ

Beautiful French Coast
Indeed, so much to see down there, and it was really nice to have encountered such pleasant and friendly people. I had similar thoughts on the wealth on display there - the Abbaye de Lerins felt a lovely antithesis to this.

Antibes
Thanks for sharing this blog, it was lovely to revisit places I also went to in France when staying in Antibes. If you ever want to go back that way I can put you in touch with a friend who has a holiday home in Antibes and he's a fantastic host, and will let you stay with him. He is very well travelled and I think you'd get on well. He also lives in Luxembourg and Milan if you ever plan to visit these locations. Great photos as always ☺️

Antibes
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog Alan, I'm glad it was able to take you on a trip down Memory Lane. Thank you also for your kind offer of putting me in touch with your friend if I visit those places, I will keep that in mind. All the best to you my travelling friend 😊👍
