My favorite thing is to travel anywhere in Crete, I’m in love with that island.

Visiting the gorgeous city of Ierapetra ! ☀️ a stunning, quiet, village.

My jaw dropped. It’s the most southern city on the island of Crete, and you can even spot the unhabited Chrissi island, which is close to the Libyan sea and Egypt. We wanted to go there, but in the middle of August is the worst time. The boat drops you off there for the day, there are barely any trees to take cover from the sun, and it’s basically African sun !

But Ierapetra was stunning, the people were extra nice… the nicest of the whole island. Food was exquisite ! I loved it there.

Peering over the French Riviera with my dark glasses

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.

Colorful buildings to warm the heart, and sunny days that lasts the year.

Grasse must be one of the prettiest little towns you can find in the South of France !

It is so colorful, with all the old buildings, and there’s perfume everywhere… of course since it’s the city of perfume ! Umbrellas follow wherever you go, cute cafés a daring sun that just won’t quit. Everything that I love. Cote d’Azur is a total dream, you shouldn’t hesitate to spend a few days here ☀️

How gorgeous is the South of France ? It’s as dreamy as you may picture it from the books, and the movies…

I fell really in love with this area, I want to move there from Paris. This is just perfectly peaceful for my soul. I always said that the only things I need in life, are a sunny weather, by the water, and a practical urban environment. That’s my end goal. I definitely had all that when I lived in L.A., thus why Paris even though it’s beautiful, gives me seasonal blues and what not. Which I definitely hate, because I’m a bubbly person who thrives under the sun !

Nothing says “holiday escape” more than a golden French Riviera tan, and a vibrant cocktail !

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 !
