en la continuacion...

...we are still living the French Riviera experience...

...we're a group of eight...sharing meals together...car rides...long walks...shopping...
...two sets of parents, three very stylish young ladies and a teenager in love, missing the company of another young man...and of course the company of his love interest...

...unfortunately, my camera broke down so I'm borrowing from my daughter and also the Bear's cell phone does its job...a few of my pictures will be posted once I return to Athens...


...yesterday, after a very French breakfast somewhere on the country side...



...we visited a perfume and soap factory...


...it was a very interesting experience because everything is done by hand, like soap making...


...the making of perfume from fresh flowers and spices...




...of course, we bought a ton of soaps and tried bottles and bottles of perfume...

...the next stop was Cannes...



...this is "the" auditorium with its red carpet...where the Film Cannes Festival takes place...yes....



...at this point, I'm promising you a rain check...more pictures later...

*****

...when we were here before, we had visited a Medieval village called "Saint Paul"...

...it is the most quaint place in the South of France...


...the whole village is built on a hill top, surrounded by a fort, over looking a valley where beautiful house...

...right outside of the village's entrance under the old oak trees, as I always remembered it, old men playing metal balls...

 

...and this is the entrance of the village...



..the extremely narrow streets of cobbled stone...the little art galleries...



...little restaurants and cafes...


...chocolateries...


....from the highest point of the village you can take admire the view and the beautiful homes that have been built in the last 25 years...



...the whole village is very art oriented...this is a horse made out of horse shoes...very creative...


...some more scenes from the village...
