In France, Near the Riviera

It's not Provence,
though it might make you think it is...
It's the medieval walled city called
St. Paul De Vence












a view from surrounding environs



typical street scene




the walkway around the perimeter of the little village
used by residents




a view over the walls to the Alps




another street scene




the shop keepers, restaurateurs, gallery owners
actually live here




having a breakfast at the small hotel in the village





another little home





shopkeepers getting ready for the day
















this is a lovely day trip from Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins,
or other famous Riviera places.  Stay near the sea, visit St. Paul de Vence.





Happy Mosaic Monday

    Oh, to be there, walking on those warm stones, sipping coffee from the pots on the table - dreaming of a warm holiday!

    gorgeous. I love these little streets and villages. And to sit having breakfast with a view like that! - what a dream! I have only been to France once - it is so far from Australia - and loved every minute of it. So thankyou for taking me back there.
    have a wonderful week.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
