French Riviera On My Mind

On June 2010, we visited Monaco and the French Riviera (Cannes, Saint Tropez, Nice, Antibes, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Villefranche- sur- Mer, Menton and Saint Maxime), and today, since I’m getting anxious about the ongoing saga about the debt crisis, all I did was gaze at the thousands of pictures on my EHD. It’s refreshing [...] . . . → Read More: French Riviera On My Mind

Laduree

On our recent trip to the French Riviera, I was drawn to Monaco. It was not because of Monte Carlo – the casino, nor was it because of the great variety of shopping activities for someone like me. It was because of this little store nestled inside Le Metropole (the shopping mall). Prior to flying [...] . . . → Read More: Laduree

Monte Carlo By Night

If I was in awe at the images of Monte Carlo at dusk, being there in person when nighttime came all the more got me enthralled.

Needless to say,we enjoyed the beauty of this “pimple” (lol). If [...] . . . → Read More: “Pimple On The Chin Of The South Of France…”

Glimpse Of Monaco

It was not surprising that my husband and I kept going back to Monaco. We love the place. In spite of the overcrowding during daytime, this tiny country is charming. When we were planning for the trip, we originally intended to book a hotel in Monaco for a few days towards the end of our [...] . . . → Read More: Glimpse Of Monaco

La Côte d'Azur

We’re in the place where bikini and ravioli were invented. It’s been so far three exciting days, and although we are still jet lagged,we are trying so hard to adjust. Later in our trip, we will be headed to the second smallest country (second to the Vatican) here in Europe, infamously known as the “sunny [...] . . . → Read More: La Côte d’Azur
