TravBuddy.com: ekthor's Europe 2005 travel blog Copyright 2005 TravBuddy LLC http://www.travbuddy.com/blogs/5364 In the fall semester of 2005 I had the chance to live in Valbonne, France while I was studying. It was this that gave me my jumpstart in travelling. The chance to have a place I could come back to while I was in Europe made much easier for me to travel the continent pretty much every weeked. Not only did I visit some cities outside France, but I also got the chance to visit some nice French cities and towns along the way. Evidently Paris was at the top ofthe list. en-us Thu, 05 Jul 2007 22:54:25 PST Mister Pizza http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-blogs/5364/Nice-France-44 Thu, 05 Jul 2007 22:54:25 PST Mister Pizza Nice, France, Jul 05, 2007
