Exploring the French Riviera
From Pisa in Italy, the train runs along the coast all the way to Narbonne, France (with only a short jog inland from Saint-Raphael to (some other place), which I traveled by boat and bus). Taking this train, I got to see many, many miles of Mediterranean coast, from small villages clinging to the hills of Tuscany to the wild red rocky outcroppings near Fréjus to the proud white halls and abundant graffiti of Marseille. Along the way I stopped in Nice, Eze-sur-Mer, Monaco, Antibes, Fréjus, Saint-Rafaël, Saint-Tropez, Toulon, and Marseille before heading inland to Aix-en-Provence and finally back to Toulouse (all pictured in the slideshow except Saint-Raphaël).

The other place is Draguignan, I guess... How was Italy?
ReplyDeletePrecisely. Thank you, Martijn. Italy was splendid! I loved being totally immersed in Renaissance art, and I enjoyed learning a few words of Italian. I really prefer Renaissance art to modern art. Also, it rained less when I was in Italy than when I was on the Côte d'Azur. Florence is definitely a tourist town though.
