Weekend in the French Riviera, to discover the only part of the French coast that is still eluding us.
Difficult to choose the right weekend, unfortunately we ended up with a lot of traffic everywhere, because the race vintage car in Monaco and the forthcoming next Grand Prix, the festival of roses in Grasse, the bridge public holiday for the French 's imminent opening of the Cannes Film Festival, there is something for everyone.
The first step is to Eze Village, the medieval village perched on a cliff and crossed from the Moyenne Corniche. Wander the streets of Eze, full of restaurants and albeghi dear, there would have to visit the exotic garden, but time is pressing.
The day after the visit of St. Paul de Vence, the sixteenth century village hinterland of Nice, where is the Foundation Maeght, important collection of contemporary art. E 'surrounded by ancient walls, in a region of orange groves, vineyards and olive groves. Very beautiful hill country lanes, with various objects of art and craft shops, typical, say, the sculptures with women "shapely".
Descending to Cannes where we stroll along the Croisette, it is setting up the film festival so it is all a construction site. There's already a lot of people on the beach and we regret having to just stand by. The hotels, the prices preposterous, are some wonderful architectural examples.
Then step in Grasse, and resort city of perfumes, is ongoing in the Festival of Roses, plants and roses everywhere, there is also a kind of path between the roses where it passes beneath hundreds of glass bottles with water inside colorful roses. We visit the Fragonard perfume factory, where we explain the procedure to extract the essences from flowers.
