Tight but, hair pens, straight down no guard rail for 10 km we found St. Tropez. Traffic jam and motorcycles making a third lane. Finally we arrive at Plages du Midi, Cannes. The yachts and the beaches, what a human circus. Continued to Nice. The most visited city in France, and you could tell it today! Next destination, Monte Carlo, Monaco. A beautiful city hanging on the cliffs. Walked along the Mediterranean admiring the Yachts. To end our day La Riser...

Nice windy morning after a night rain. Headed towards Beziers. Instead of seeing more history. We detoured to Le Cap-d'Agde. Big tourist area; rides, tracks, yacht clubs and a wide beach lined with restaurants. Stepped into the Golfe du Lion. Walked along the water. Continued our drive to Sete, a port town with boardwalk, large fishing boats, and a crowed city centre. Our afternoon was at Auberge de Cassagne & Spa in Avignon-Le Pontet. Strolled thru t...

Taking a narrow winding road through the countryside. Just a small shower, enough to leave puddles. Today we take the toll road, it will save 2 hours of driving. Even the toll road is scenic. Winding thru the gorges, along the hillsides and thru the tunnels. Landscape without billboards! City of Carcassonne, shopping mall and a McDonald's. Just steps from our hotel we entered the Narbomaise gate way. The castle is protected by two fortified walls with 52 t...

Hard to find a cafe or McDonald's, always restaurant with course meals. Sometimes things get lost in translation...thin beef was raw thin beef! Not! Many sunflower fields, with their heads hanging sadly towards the ground. As we descended the hill Rocamadour appeared hanging on the hillside above the gorge. Our hote...

Saint Emilion City Tour, started with a great view. A little history of the Bell Tower. Then to; collegiate Church & it's cloister, the great wall, the steep streets, the underground chapel, the natural cave, and yes the monolithic church. Inside the church the columns were unstable and American Express came to help. They sponsored the stabilizing of the main 4 columns holding the bell tower. This entire city is on top of stone quarries. Learned a lot of...
