To Antibes...(clicking on photos makes them larger)

We left Paris and too the high speed train to Antibes, which is on the Mediterranean coast between Nice and Cannes.  Joe found us a lovely apartment in the old town which is in the centre of all of the action.  Antibes is a very tasteful tourist town with many outdoor cafes.  

Joe has been making some excellent meals.  Being so close to Nice, it only seems that salade niçoise is appropriate!  (Tuna, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes and olives on a bed of leaf lettuce.)

Our neighbourhood.

The Antibes Market (daily) is just around the corner from where we are staying.  Wonderful local produce.  We are amazed at how much local produce is in season.  Cheeses and meats are fantastic.

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.     

Finishing off France - Les Beaux Villages

 We finished off the French leg of the trip by visiting a number of lovely villages in the areas of France, bordering the Mediterranean and just north of the Spanish border.   Le Canal du Midi Joe beside the canal near where we spend Easter weekend. The castle at Carcassonne

Saint Tropez ... and another Castle

 Driving further west along the mediterranean, we visited the town of Saint Tropez.  This town was famous as a playground of the rich in the 1920s.  It later became a haven for modern artists.
