Nice

With Liz and Paul both at work, and the five boys 'doing their thing', Laura and I headed into Nice. Very nice!
Valbonne

The market at Valbonne is excellent. Laura got a hat and donkey sausage, but the cherries were too expensive!
Beach Party

With a fireworks display later on in the evening, what better excuse for a beach party?
Biot and the Fernand Léger Museum

The Fernand Léger Museum is close to where Liz lives. We didn't actually get to look round, but the building is impressive.
Antibes and the Picasso Museum
Posted by Richard on Thursday 8th August 2013 at 10:43 PM
Laura and I once again abandoned the boys for a trip into Antibes and a bit of culture. I remember visiting the Picasso Museum here back in 1984. Still interesting, but not all to my taste...
Abbaye du Thoronet

Our longest trip of the holiday took us to the beautiful 12th century
Abbaye du Thoronet, one of the first buildings in France to be classified an historical monument.
Mougins

For my birthday (29th, I think) we went to a very posh restaurant in Mougins,
L'Amandier. Very nice.
Monaco

A holiday on the Cote d'Azur wouldn't be complete without a trip into Monaco.
Théoule-sur-Mer

The beach at Théoule-sur-Mer was terrific. And swimming round the headland gave us the 'opportunity' to throw ourselves off the rocks from ridiculous heights into the sea!
Sailing on the Med
Posted by Richard on Thursday 8th August 2013 at 10:47 PM
On our last full day, Paul took the boys out on the Air France yacht. We ‘sailed’ from the marina on Cap d'Antibes in between Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat and back past Cannes.
Chez Liz

And finally a few photos taking at (or en route to) chez Liz.
