23 November 2007 - France

A couple of very short stops at the end of a business trip. Pictures taken with a small compact camera on a damp day! Hence the lower image quality.

Valbonne

The car parking area at the edge of the village.

The main street through the village

All the houses are a similar colour with tiles roofs.

A fantastic range of fresh fruit for sale.

A map showing the layout of the village. The old part is constructed in a rectangular manner as shown on the right of the map. Follow this link for more information about the village.

The village square in the centre of the old part of the village.

There are many narrow back streets which cars cannot get down.

The church

A lovely colouful old door and entrance to a dwelling.

There were market stalls along many of the streets.

Another view of the church.

Chateauneuf du Grasse

A beautiful little village on top of a hill. This is the view from the town looking south. Follow this link for more details about the village.

Olive groves on the side of the hill.

Another view to the south.

Still a bit of colour in the climbing shrubs.

Today the temperature was about 14 deg C. The lemons on the tree indicate how hot it must be here in the summer.

Antibes

The large hypermarket near the A8 motorway at Antibes.
