Expanding on France this week. In the span of five years, I’ve
traveled through 9 of the 13 regions of France. The area that has
captured my soul is the French Riviera, the famous Cote d’Azur on
the Mediterranean coast in southeast France. You can fly into Nice
and take the train to any of the towns that dot the coast, my
favorite is Villefranche Sur Mer. I still have a vivid memory of
watching the sun drop into the sea while having a lovely homecooked
dinner on the terrace of a gorgeous villa. Swaying to the wine and
music of Frank Sinatra floating around me with the balmy sea breeze
under the night sky. Magical. The quality of the light in September
is beautiful, it feels ethereal and ephemeral. I can see why
artists like Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Cezanne and others were also
drawn to the region. Last summer, I flew into Nice for a couple
days just to enjoy some time in Villefranche Sur Mer. I spent one
day on a vintage yacht moored in the bay and another at the beach
club beneath the train station soaking up the sunshine.
