Cote D’Azur

Saint Paul de Vence

June 7, 2009

Yesterday we took the bus to Saint Paul de Vence, a beautiful little
village at the top of a mountain just East of Nice. We walked the
cobblestone streets, browsed the art galleries and bought a pair of
ridiculous fashion accessory cocktail rings. We had lunch at a cute
little cafe on the hill and then made our way back to Nice in the late
afternoon sun.

The Cote D’Azur is so easy to navigate! Buses all along the coast
cost one euro each and they drive right along the coast. All the
museums are free (though we didn’t go to any) and the trams and trains
are equally cheap and easy to access. Food is delicious regardless of
where you go and clothes are also so reasonable! We’ve had a great
weekend walking, eating, browsing. We are in bed by 11pm and up at
9am. Lots of sleep, lots of food, lots of shopping and endless gossip.
So relaxing.

Today we’re going to Cannes before heading back to stormy, rainy London. :)

Live from Nice

June 4, 2009

It's warm, the people are gorgeous and the food is magnificent. All
that you would expect from the French :)

We're in a beautiful flat in Place Garibaldi. The French know
beautiful. The lighting, the decor, the window trimmings, the colour
scheme – all so beautiful.

It's so nice being here with Mum. It reminds me of our summer in
Paris. We eat slowly, walk slowly, talk like we have all the time in
the world. Languid, artsy, sensual, beautiful.

Oh France. Thank you for reminding us that beauty is necessary in our lives.
