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 !

Nothing nourishes the soul more than a trip to the South of France

Nothing nourishes the soul more than a trip to the South of France.

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.

Na eiste kala !

Na eiste kala !

Three years ago we completely fell in love with this island 🤍 🇬🇷

And we’ve been back every year since ! So this is our third… we’re still obsessed with Crete, and the Cretan people are some of the nicest, most generous we’ve met through our different travels. We just love their vibe !

The first thing we do upon arrival at the airport, is get our car and start the road trip right away. We drive fast, until a beautiful little beach, or cove catches our sight, and we make our stop there : take off all of our airplane clothes, and jump in the sea 🌊

Trust me, it is the best feeling ever. Since we travel there in August / September, the water is so warm, you don’t even have to wait for your skin to get adjusted. It’s the perfect temperature. After that first little (or longer) swim, we go for lunch… and oh my gosh, how nice it is to have a proper Greek salad, with dakos ! Cretans offer some dessert or fruit when you ask for the bill, and a little digestive; ouzo and raki are the most common ones.

The feeling of being wholly disconnected from our stressful Parisian lives, barely an hour after landing… and the freedom the car gets us is unmatchable. It’s just smiles & adventures now, for two weeks ☀️

Na eiste kala !

Silver lining

Silver lining

I’m so happy I found this beautiful place, which can treat me.

It looks more like a campus than an hospital (I’m thinking tiny UCLA). In Paris everything can be romanticized it seems… good for me, because it takes the edge off things. It’s not even an ordeal to come see my doctor in these conditions. The architecture is so vintage, I’m loving this old-vibe medical look. I’m transported in an era that was really stylish.

Oh and by the way, it’s my birthday !

I usually am not in the mood to celebrate, but this year I will. I have a whole thing planned for this weekend, so pictures will be coming next week 🤗
