The South of France

Summer in Provence... where else would you rather be! We made a flying visit to the Cote d'Azur and Provence last week at the kind invitation of our friends David and Ginette, and JP and Elaine.





First stop was Valbonne which is where David and Ginette have just moved to after 12 years in Monaco.

Pretty as a picture...

or two...

David and Ginette are great hosts, keen to show us the best of the area.

Their new villa was very easy to get comfortable in. Very tranquil compared to the hustle of Monaco.

Some villages were more "hilltop" than others!!

Then we drove across to Menerbes in Provence and chose to stay at a lovely comfortable B&B. Jp and Elaine's new bolt-hole is a "petite cottage" - space is of the essence!

We did enjoy a lovely "kiwi" BBQ however, with Elaine's brother and sister-in-law...

And as always, our hosts' hospitality was fantastique!

Merci beaucoup JP and Elaine. See you again soon - we hope!
