Favorite Vacation of all time so far.

Today is Friday(well in 9 minutes it will be), and that means...

This week it is "Favorite Vacations" and boy have I had some great ones. My all time favorite was the 3 weeks I spent in France. The largest portion of time was spent in Saint Tropez and it was quite simply...lovely.

We first flew in to Nice, and I had to continually pinch myself so I wouldn't walk around slack jawed. EVERYTHING was the MOST beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Immediately after landing in Nice, we drove down the coast to Saint Tropez. We stayed at a Chateau of friends overlooking the whole bay for 2 weeks. Everything was beautiful.

There were HUGE yachts everywhere. I'm talking price tags in the millions. I was fortunate enough to spend a lovely afternoon on one eating lunch...and yes... they did have a full staff.They also had a hot tub on board.




The inside of the Chateau had remained untouched ever since it was built. Everything was rustic and rather simple. Which I totally loved. (With the exception of the great pool)

My bedroom...



The streets weren't wide at all(Our car barely fit down them)and every store was so beautiful.



I spent most of my time there, running after wee ones, swimming, and napping... I was doing the later below after a swim.

After the wonderful time in Saint Tropez, we headed further along the coast to
Aix-en-Provence where we stayed the night in the most beautiful hotel. The name is Hotel Des Augustins The outside looked like a regular warehouse down a random alley. But inside...





...scrumptious.

Aix was entirely beautiful, with lovely architecture every where you looked.







After spending some time in Aix, we drove to Marseille and flew out of the country. On our way to another adventure in another country.

Aix is my favorite, and I like Cannes a lot, too. Did you get there? What a great vacation.
