French food is delicious and we had great service everywhere we went. The
drive from Marseille to Cannes was like a lush desert with rocks and trees. It appeared to be the worlds wine supply with all the grapes we saw.
Cannes is beautiful. And almost any age can laugh the first time you see the road signs that say Nice Cannes, since the two towns are next to each other. Cannes has a great boardwalk with high end stores and exotic cars.
I didn't realise that Monaco is technically a different country. It's the second smallest in the world, only the Vatican is smaller.
We also visited "the European Grand Canyon". Actually it's called Parc Verdon Gorge. We hiked the canyon and gorge to include some very memorable pitch black tunnels where you need a flashlight/torch to see two feet in front of you.
Grasse was a secret little town that we found, we enjoyed walking around that one and eating there.
As we woke up one morning, we found ourselves extremely privileged to be asking questions to ourselves deciding which beach to go to. Do we want a boardwalk or no? Rock formations or no? Sandy or pebbles? Amazing.
Nice is nice! Great boardwalk small town, great beach, white covered benches. We drove all around to see and walk on several beaches. We ran into some trouble paying for parking, it didn't like our credit card and wouldn't accept cash, but we eventually got it to work.
All in all the French Riveria lives up to its great reputation!
