Day 16 – Provence to Cote D’Azur

Sunday, May 15th, 2011

Today’s drive took us from St Remy through Aix-en-Provence to the French Riviera to the Village of Vence, a short distance between Nice and Cannes but up into the mountains.   After stopping for lunch in Aix, and a walk around this city, we arrived late afternoon into Vence.

The house here is even more spectacular than the last.  High up into the mountain side, lies this 4 bedroom 4 bathroom magnificent home with views of the Mediterranean, overlooking the village of Vence and out to the coast.  The house is modern, with many patios, terraces, sitting areas and a heated pool.  Each room has views off the side of the mountain onto the lying village below and out to the coast line.  The drive up to the house is difficult, well secluded and steep roads up into the mountain side.  The driveway up to the house is further still.  The grounds and gardens are grown out with many fruit trees, olive trees, rosemary bushes and roses, well landscaped and manicured.  We have picked some grapefruit and oranges already.

Like I said, spectacular.  I will add some photos in the next Quick Post.
