Summer in France
The first week in France has been everything we’ve hoped for. Flew into Nice from London; saw many golf courses from the air, none of which I recognized (future assignments?) We stayed in a villa overlooking the harbor at Cannes., and from that base we explored the area. First was the little town of Eze, just 10 miles from Monaco. Great food – what would you expect? – and friendly people, especially when I try speaking French. You’d think I’m a comedian on stage. Raucous laughter. Every time.
Getting around the French Riviera is easy… trains and inexpensive bus shuttles can take you almost anywhere you want to go. And weather? San Diego perfect, as my son would say. One of the many reasons the beaches at St. Tropez are world-famous. Nice scenery, too.
Dinner at Villefranche-sur-Mer was right on the water, and the catch of the day was grilled to perfection. Excellent wine served by the pitcher, fresh croissant for breakfast. A villa in Villefranche is on our wish list for the next trip to France.
World Cup soccer on big screen TVs in every club and restaurant, it seems. Fans everywhere, of course.
This week: Italy.
