The Belle Epoque buildings of Cannes shadowed little of the sun and the chairs and tables of restaurants and cafes sprawled out onto the pavement. There weren't many streets and lanes that crisscrossed between the sea and the station, but it took a few turns off the main busy shopping high street b…

I had the privilege of living in a mansion in Antibes on the French Riviera. It's possibly the most wonderful region i've visited and I think I've found where I belong in the world. It has class, sophistication, great food, excellent wine, a very international mix of people, plenty of history, culture, great weather and beautiful scenery. I travelled around Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Antibes. A truly wonderful little jaunt.

Avignon, Montpellier, Cannes, Ile Sainte Marguerite, Antibes

France 06

I was fortunate to attend a sales conference in Cannes in April 2008. Amazingly enough, the company booked me in the Hotel Martinez ... yep, the famous hotel where a lot of the celebrities stay for the Cannes film festival. I also took the opportunity of visiting Monaco which is only 1 hour away from Cannes. Hope you enjoy the pics.

A look back at my pre-trav buddy days in the South of France last summer.
