This place is a little bit like Las Vegas, but with a heavy French Touch… so it’s beautiful ! Gorgeous even ! The city is basically divided in quarters, you have the casino one (with all the fancy luxury stores), the riviera where you can spot extravagant yachts, and the old town where the castle is, on top of a hill : which was my favorite.
I love swimming so much, and it’s so good for the body !
Here I am in Villefranche-sur-Mer, they have one of the best little beaches you can find on the Riviera. The water is excellent, because it’s not super open, like in Cannes where it’s miles of beaches. The water is consequently warmer (not by much, but still). It’s a beautiful view as well, with all the fancy yachts.
I have separated my Cannes pictures in three posts, that you’ll all see this week ! Other cities coming right up next…
I have loved staying here, it’s such a cute little city, there’s so much buzz because of the different conventions happening, and of course the Festival each year. So it’s quite exciting to be there ! It definitely boosted my energy levels. I mean this is one of the sunniest cities in France, and you can basically swim from May to the end of September, without a second thought, and if you’re brave even after that… I swam in October, and for me the water was perfect. It was as I said “invigorating” : I’ve really been into colder water since listening to what Wim Hof has to say about it. Beautiful times !
What a beautiful trip to the South of France I had ! My boyfriend surprised me with a visit to Cannes, on the French Riviera… oh my gosh, I was so excited. I’ve dreamed of going there for years : and I live in Paris, so it’s not like that complicated to get there, yet I never got to it.
