Today we ventured out to Saint Tropez. We both liked it better than Cannes. A very quaint town - lots of streets lined with little shops, cafes, etc. Not the generic kind found everywhere. Art galleries, collectables, furniture, and more.
This was the view of Saint Tropez across the harbor en route:
We had lunch at
Villa Belrose, which had a great view back over the harbor:
We drove in to the city after and parked in the main parking lot at the harbor. We took a nice walk around town starting along the water... which was filled with some beautiful yachts:
This one was especially nice:
There was a lot of artists displaying their works along the boardwalk. At the end of the dock we turned towards the old city, then made our way back along some of the shop filled streets.
We started back at around 5 and traffic was terrible. We didn't get back to the hotel until 7! It was a pretty drive back though.
A view from the hills toward the coast:
Bagnols-en-foret in the background:
Tomorrow we'll be at the Spa here until about noon and expect to leave the hotel at about 2 or so. It's a 4.5 hour drive (unless we can get away with driving 105 MPH most of the way again! ) to Château de Bagnols northwest of Lyon. I imagine it will be a relatively boring drive into the center of France.
A strong sense that the end is near. I called TT car in Paris to schedule the drop off for 8AM on September 8th.
