French Riviera

The road along the coast is a route of beautiful scenery, tunnels through rock cliffs, solo and peletons of bikers, and endless mansions and apartment buildings.
 


After passing through Nice and Cagnes sur Mer, we take a walk through the marina and old city of Antibes. Note the snow covered southern most Alps.


We pass through Cannes, a relatively unattractive pretentious city of gaudy displays of wealth on the way to Grasse, the perfume capital of France. Grasse is a hillside town with an attractive old center.

The last stop of the day is in St. Paul de Vence, one of the most beautiful of the beautiful towns in France. It is a walled hilltop city with attractive narrow streets and no vehicle access.
