We explored the South of France today by car. We first drove to Cannes. It was pretty Hollywood because there were posters all across town of famous American (and international) actors and actresses. You could tell the town revolved around the film festival. So many people were touring the city and it was PACKED with lots of rich people (or those pretending to be – not us in our Volvo wagon) shopping to try and keep up with the Jones of Hollywood. There were some great views of the harbor (and yachts similar to those you see Beyonce and Jay-Z on) from the top of the Cannes hill (I guess similar to the Hollywood Hills).
From there we hit up Antibes, a more chill town between Cannes and Nice. This town was really cute with lots of tiny streets (the Volvo – still yet to be named – barely fit). We hit the beach which was actually white and sandy compared to the beach in Nice. The pigeons were still there but we enjoyed a day at the beach like the locals. We hiked up for a great view of the harbor and enjoyed a wonderful Italian dinner in the old part of town (hey at least we are using our knowledge of the French language – we just wanted some comfort food). This is a town we could see ourselves hanging out in more along the Riveria.
