1/3/20-1/9/20 Villefranche-sur-Mer and the south of France.k

Greetings from the sunny French Rivera! We left cold, but sunny, Munich on 1/3/20, traveling on the S train to the Munich airport. Quick easy check in on Lufthansa Airlines and two hours later we are in beautiful Nice.

The French alps

Quick and expensive checkin at the car rental and off we go on the short trip to Villefranche-sur-Mer, our home for the next week. The Airbnb is a one bedroom apartment, with a beautiful view from the balcony.

The south of France has a wonderful mass transit system, trains, trams and buses. So, bright and early we hop on the bus and travel the short trip to Nice. Wonderful walkable city, walking tour here we go!

Socca, the regional dish, Chickpea flour, olive oil, salt, and water, baked in a hearth oven. We thought it was tasteless, but they love it here, it’s everywhere

We spent the afternoon in our new home, Villefranche-sur-Mer, unbelievably beautiful!

Next morning, back on the bus (€1.50) per trip👍 and all the way to Menton, the end of the line.

Next stop, Monaco and Monte Carlo😎

The world famous Monte Carlo Casino. Never seen so many high end automobiles in my life

FYI, a three bedroom, three bath, 2000 sq ft. Condominium in Monaco, killer view, 24 million😳

Ok, next day a driving trip to Cannes and Antibes. Traffic here is terrible.

Beautiful city’s, very French. Then walking in our lovely village, Villefranche-sur-Mer

Today, tour director Cindy wants to do the world famous driving tour, the three Cornices. Beautiful views, the homes are staggeringly beautiful and pricey, four to 10 million outside of Monaco

Tomorrow a short three hour drive to Fontvieille, a small village and our last stay in Europe, except one night in gay Paris. We love France. We spent two weeks here in May at the beginning of the adventure and two weeks in July for the Tour de France. Hope your New Years is off to a great start.

Au revoir
