Côte d’Azur

Bonjour from the sunny warm and ever popular Côte d’Azur!

While this has never been one of my favorite regions of France, I’ll admit that I am long overdue for a visit. It’s been at least 10 years, if not more since I’ve spent time along this part of the Mediterranean. Here are several photos of the first two days of this trip…

Nice – beach on a sunny Friday in May!

View from the balcony and the beginning of dinner!

Vive la Côte d’Azur ! Vive la Provence !
