Beuil

Base camp for the skiing was the Air France chalet in Beuil - only about an hour and a half from chez-Liz. Easy access to the slopes and an excellent spot for sledging.
Valberg

The best skiing was a few kilometres up the road from Beuil in Valberg. It was Laura's first time on skis since
Banff in 2003, and she really enjoyed skiing at Liz's slightly more sedate pace. Not counting
last year's disaster, Mark was only skiing for the second time - and he did brilliantly.
Gorge du Cians

The route to and from Beuil took us through the magnificent Gorge du Cians.
Ventimiglia

The Italian border is only an hour or so from chez-Liz, so Laura and I jumped on the train and headed for Ventimiglia on our first day back from the slopes. The walk up to the Cathedral was steep, but nice to escape the hustle and bustle of the market.
Cannes

Our next day trip took us to Cannes, this time with Mark and Liz. Another splendid day on the Riviera.
Monaco and Cap D'Ail

On our last day Liz drove us to Monaco, with brunch at Stars 'N' Bars being the main reason for the trip. We came back on the Basse Corniche (the old coast road), and stopped for a nice walk around Cap d'Ail. Think we've found our holiday home ...
