Walking along La Crossiette, Cannes.

This reminded us of Hollywood, California. There were plams trees everywhere.

The temperature of the sea water was too cold for a swim but we dug our feet into the sand anyway. We did see a few locals swimming that morning.

The Grand Hotel residence - Cannes


We were so lucky and grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at this beautiful apartment in Cannes. It's centrally located near the beach.

Nice, France


Kevin skipping rocks. We had gorgeous weather - 17- 20 degrees everyday.

Place Massena, Nice

The Place Masséna is the main square of the city. Before the Paillon River was covered over, the Pont-Neuf was the only practicable way between the old town and the modern one. The square was thus divided into two parts (North and South) in 1824. The recent rebuilding of the tramline gave the square back to the pedestrians, restoring its status as a real Mediterranean square. It is lined with palm trees and stone pines, instead of being the rectangular roundabout of sorts it had become over the years. Since its construction, the Place Masséna has always been the spot for great public events. It is used for concerts, and particularly during the summer festivals

This beautiful cathedral has english service and was located directly across from our hotel.

Bistro d'Antoine, Nice


This cozy little bistro served amazing french cuisine and it's a family run business. The original founder is named Antoine. The current owner still has a framed photo of him displayed on the wall. Moderately priced and excellent service.

The Promenade des Anglais, Nice

Nice, France
Little lane ways in Nice. There was a very relaxed atmosphere in this town which is very nice compared to London's hustle and bustle.

There were many different types of flowers at the Cours Saleya - flower market. This is a photo of a lemon tree in a pot.
