For our late summer (Read: kids are back in school so vacation spots aren't overrun) holiday we made it to Southern France, Provence & Cote d'Azur. We spent it with the girls by the pool most days with some really nice day trips to Cannes, Grasse, Golfe-Juan, Monaco, Nice, and the nearby villages.
 |
| Arrived on a rainy, soggy day, so no swimming today, but hooray for hide & seek. |
 |
| Stayed in the village of Callian. Our house with the village church in the background. |

Went exploring in Montauroux and got caught in the rain...and why yes! Yes, I do like
piña coladas. |
 |
| Found shelter in the churchyard in the rain. |
 |
| Lovely cup of morning coffee with a view of Montauroux |
 |
| Took a day trip into Monte Carlo, Monaco. Loved it. Glad we made the drive! |

 |
| So excited for the train ride through Monaco. So we had pretty much walked all through Monaco to get the the top of the hill where the palace was located and this train as well. We come to find out that the train covered every last bit of roadways we had already walked the last few hours. |
 |
| Chapelle Sainte Dévote; Named after the Patron Saint of Monaco. According to the legend, her martyred body was carried on a boat which was beached at the location of this church and where her remains were buried. |
 |
| Had a little jog down to the abandoned church at the foot of the village. |
 |
| Stella wanted to try her hand at taking pictures, but mainly wanted to photograph trees. |
 |
| This one wasn't too bad actually.... |
 |
| a bit blurry... |
 |
| needs some help with composition... |
 |
| Tada! Not bad for her 3rd shot. |
 |
| Ready for the pool!!! |
 |
| Having a nice relaxing day by the pool. |
