Cagnes-sur-Mer & Menton
Cagnes-sur-Mer I visited Musée Renoir today and the grounds are beautiful. It makes me want to move to the South of France and buy a villa. As I was standing on the second floor balcony, I looked to the right and in the distance, high above, was my next destination. I walked from Renoir’s house […]

Nice: la Colline du Château & some more museums
I spent the first part of the day at the sports museum attached to the Stade de Nice. I’m not a huge sports person but the museum had an amazing exhibition of sports portraits done by C15, a street artist, that had vibrant blues and reds. The second part of my day was spent at […]

Saint Jean Cap Ferrat
I ended up in this little hidden town called Saint Jean Cap Ferrat that was not at all on my radar. Cap Ferrat is nestled right below Beaulieu sur Mer which I fell in love with on a trip there during my study abroad days. I decided to visit Beaulieu once again on this trip. […]

Nice: Jardin Cimiez & Musée des Beaux-arts
I was excited attend a festival today at Cimiez and seeing the ruins there definitely brought back memories. When I arrived at the location though, nothing was happening. People were gathered there but no event was taking place even though the area was decorated for the festival. I went online to check on whether things […]

Nice Again: Promenade & MAMAC
Back in Nice! I arrived in Nice this morning and I’m staying with V. It was so awesome seeing her and catching up with her. The first order of business was breakfast, which I enjoyed on her lovely balcony, while we chatted about everything. My heart was so filled with joy. I’d really missed her. […]

Beaulieu sur Mer
Imma let you finish but….Beaulieu was one of the best places of all time! ~Beaulieu sur Mer, France Pardon my Kanye inspired outburst but, how do I explain my absolute favorite place that I visited during my stay in France? The beauty, the calm, the soul bending experience of touching the purely divine. It helps […]

Christmas Markets!
This weekend I perused the stalls at the Christmas Market, Marchés de Noël, at Place Massena in Nice with Jen. This market is amazing. People come from all over the world to experience Christmas markets in France and other parts of Europe. The crafts-goods-merchandise are so beautiful, the atmosphere is convivial and the scene is spectacular. The artisans […]

Monaco II: Male Models
I visited Monaco with Jen today to go back to that market I happened upon on my other visit. We had gone for a run earlier this morning which wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. The market wasn’t there (a big letdown) so we walked back to the Monte Carlo stop and […]

Eze Venture
I went to Eze today. I almost missed the train at Gare SNCF because I ignored my alarm. When we got on, the train was packed and when we got off I saw the huge mountain we were about to climb. First off, I’m not a fan of heights. Secondly, I do not like climbing […]
