Today we hit Nice. The Place de Massena is a must see, looked over from one side by Apollo on the Fontaine de Soleil. His statue was removed fairly recently in case it caused ‘moral disruption’ but was daringly reinstated…

We are at Villeneuve-Loubet, a town on the ‘Bay of Angels’ halfway between Nice and Antibes. The site is a short walk (5 minutes) from the beach. Mavis is parked in Camping Hippodrome ( N 43.642186 E 7.137281). This is…
We are in Cannes…we arrived here on Monday and went out for a good nosh at the Golf Park Restaurant, to celebrate Nia’s birthday. We drove along the dramatic Côte d’Azur from Ste Maxime…only about 15 miles. We stopped for…

Route to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer Today (Friday 17th October) we stayed at the sea front aire at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer (N 43.453558 E 4.436642). This is a long and narrow site just behind the sea wall and promenade, with good access to walking and…
