Vive la France! Vive la France Libre! On July 14th 1789, the ‘people’ took over la Bastille in Paris and ended the Monarchy. Since July 14th 1790 they have been celebrating this great “Federation”. This new federation has been based on ‘liberté, égalité, fraternité’ (freedom, equality, brotherhood) since 1792 but has been accepted it as their national [...] In the past month I have spent a lot of time in Juan les Pins a small town squeezed between Antibes and Golfe Juan. Even though Juan les Pins is only a 20 minute train ride, it’s so different than Cagnes-sur-Mer. For one thing; it’s much more touristic. There are people from all over the [...] It’s summer on the French Riviera; the sun is up at 6:00 AM and sets at 9:00PM. It’s wonderful to get up with the sun, it makes me want to go out and be part of the making of a beautiful day. The pigeons are up too and usually on my terrace cooing and trying to [...]
Yes, it’s already been a year that I moved to Cagnes-sur-Mer on the French Riviera or as we call it ‘La Côte d’Azur”’. For those who have been with me since the idea of moving to the south of France started to manifest itself, you may remember that until four hours before my [...]
I haven’t been writing much in the last month as nothing real interesting has happened. Of course, whenever I see something beautiful I start writing in my head. But then, I don’t think it’s interesting enough to share. But basically, spring is here and the temperature is now in the mid 60’s (18C) [...]
It seems as March is Carnival time everywhere; Rio, New-Orleans, Venice, Trinidad and Tobago just to name a few and also not to forget worldwide St-Patrick’s Parades going on too. But since I am on the French Riviera, I went to check the ones nearby; the Nice Carnival, our little Cagnes-sur-Mer and the [...] The beautiful and multicultural city on Antibes on the French Riviera is home for the fifth consecutive year of this sweet and salty ‘gourmet-gourmand’ event. “Pain, Amour et chocolat” is sponsored by the Côte d’Azur Italian chamber of commerce and the Alpes-Maritimes Chamber of trades, arts and crafts. You have to understand that in France, [...] I still don’t believe that I have been in France for nine months and still haven’t been to Italy. I adore Italy, I love Italian men and I love Italian food and wine. I can almost remember every dish I have eaten since the first time visit in 2002. Ventimiglia is the closest Italian town on [...] A couple of my friends have been asking what I have been doing since I haven’t posted in such a long time. Basically, nothing and that’s why I haven’t written. The month of December was busy with the daily hospital visit to Sophie and then it was Christmas and New-Year Day. Since my life was [...] Happy New Years may this year only bring you happiness, joy, health, love, prosperity and wisdom to concentrate on the good in people and events and let go of the negativity that sometime blinds us. I hope you ended the year on happy notes and surrounded with people you like. I trust that you also [...] |
