An Upbeat Ending & Troyes' "Cat Alley"

Sat, 5 Nov 2016 | By billh | Views [424]

Left Valence yesterday and headed north towards Troyes -- pretty uneventful until the GPS started malfunctioning again -- got as far north as Beaune, then the GPS decided it wanted to go south.  Couldn't get it to correct so picked a road and randomly ... Read more >

Hiking the Ocher Mines of Colorado-Provence

Thu, 3 Nov 2016 | By billh | Views [369]

Left the south of France behind -- I'm glad I saw it but it wasn't what I had hoped it would be.  Almost didn't make it out of Nice -- spent half an hour going around in circles, ovals, out and backs, etc... as my GPS decided to sleep in -- unbelievable, ... Read more >

Les Plages de St Tropez

Wed, 2 Nov 2016 | By billh | Views [388]

Headed out mid-morning towards St Tropez -- it's about an hour plus west of Nice on the Mediterranean Coast.   The GPS claimed not to have ever heard of St Tropez and it took about twenty minutes to finally convinnce it that St Tropez really existed ... Read more >

Cannes -- Ile Ste. Marguerite -- Man in the Iron Mask

Tue, 1 Nov 2016 | By billh | Views [454] | Comments [1]

Today my big destination was Cannes.  Not much different to do there from the other places in this area -- you can walk around, go shopping, people watch and they apparently offer a couple of tours a day of the site where they do the film festival ... Read more >

Where am I?  This city islocated in a country that is not part of the European Union but uses the euro as its official currency.  Mount Charles just doesn't have the same cachet!

Slept-in this morning to take advantage of the "daylight savings time" change here -- thye start a weel before the US.  Wandered out on to the balcony, took one look at the green sea (green today) and the blue sky and it was difficult to talk myself ... Read more >

Sur de France

Sun, 30 Oct 2016 | By billh | Views [309] | Comments [2]

It's 4:00pm and I'm sitting on the balcony of a fourth floor apartment in Nice overlooking the deep blue Mediterrranen Sea -- finally getting what all the fuss was about re the "south of France" -- probably as close to heaven as I'll ever get! The temperature ... Read more >

Fri, 28 Oct 2016 | By billh | Views [281]

Moved on to the southwestern France coastal city of Perpignan and what a welcome change -- this is how the south of France should be.  Staying in a lovely ground floor flat decorated in a Moroccan theme and a patio covered in a grape arbor -- just ... Read more >

Gladiators & Romans in the South of France

Fri, 28 Oct 2016 | By billh | Views [295]

From the scenic countryside of Bailly, I was off on a mad dash to the south of France.  The "south of France" is portrayed as an idylic land of blue skies, green water and pastel villas clinging to the hillsides -- someone should sue them for false ... Read more >

Guedelon & Underground in the Bailly Caves

Thu, 27 Oct 2016 | By billh | Views [194]

Moved on the next day to a tiny place called Bailly -- doeesn't show-up on GPS and you need to go to the highest resolution on Googlemaps (and know where you're looking) to even find it (which made it real challenging to find the first day).  It's ... Read more >
