Coveting Provence

The last time I was in France was 1999.

My previous trips to Europe involved trains, backpacks, sore feet and wonderful memories. However, I was thrilled that we rented a car that year.

There is only so much you can see from a train.

The photos from Chic Provence reminded me why the Provence region is worth visiting again. And again. And again.

• Nice - We ate a picnic lunch at the beautiful park overlooking the city.
• Avignon - Stayed in a hotel that faced the Palace of Popes.
• Aix-en-Provence - I can't remember where we stayed. Too much wine!
• Cannes - I felt like a movie star.

However, the next time I visit the area I may just rent a small house (like the one in the picture) and relax.

Oh, and drink wine!
