Marseille

We went to Aix-en-Provence which is about half an hour drive from Marseille. This area of France is very dry and it rains only in January and February. The old town of Marseille is built in the shape of a U with a huge marina in the middle with literally thousands of sailboats and motor...

Is this becoming a tradition ? Family jumping for Easter

This year again, Easter long weekend was the perfect occasion for a family gathering in southern France. A tough weekend indeed, spending most of the time eating and enjoying the great weather of Provence ! After all that food eating contest, a little jump was more than necessary :-)

Day 8: Back in Nice

So I caught the train this morning back to Nice. The 6 hour journey once again went by really quickly. Well nothing happened during these 6 hours. The views were amazing I missed most of the country-side ones due to strategically places trees and hills but as we got closer to Marseille, Cannes...

Day 7: Meh

Today sucked. I had nothing to do at all. I did visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts and it was cool but I just wasn't in the right mood to fully enjoy it. I didn't get to see Courtney today because she had to pack, skype, and prepare for her Spring break because her family will be coming to France. I...

French Fried

So it's not actually a myth. The French do speak French. It's now become a matter of pointing, smiling and hoping someone takes pity on me. Oh, and some highly comical hand signals. But I'm managing - if by 'managing' I mean reserving my train ticket by pointing at Nantes on the map, then...

Day 6: From Paris with Love

Wow... So today was absolutely amazing. Courtney and I met up at 7:20am as planned and were off to the train station. She had previously stopped by a bakery to pick up some pastries and bread as snacks for the ride. We boarded the train at 7:40am and were off soon after. The views of the...

Day 5: Are you interested in goats?

So today was the day I got my tour of Dijon. I woke up around 10am and got a message from Courtney saying that her meeting at 12:30pm got turned into a surprise lunch for all the girls since everyone will be leaving for Spring Break. She said that she should be done by 1:30pm so she's heading...
