Last summer, in honor of our second wedding anniversary, J planned a second honeymoon for us in France. The trip was long and complex, and he was completely proud of himself for planning it. We only went to the places we could reasonably reach by train, but we still managed to spend time in Nice, Villefranche-sur-le-Mer, and several cities in Provence including Arles and Orange. The first part of our trip was "beach time." We flew into Nice and ate a late lunch (see J's picture below) and then travelled to our tiny hotel in Villefranche-sur-le-Mer.
Villefranche-sur-la-mer is a gorgeous spot near Cap Ferrat. We had a great time with our tiny hotel room and the rocky beach. We would take turns swimming in the beautiful water and sunbathing. My husband knows me far too well to take any pictures of me in a bathing suit, so there aren't many pictures from this location. However, here's a picture from the walk back to our hotel:
We stayed in an area that wasn't ridiculously expensive, but with the help of a bus, we managed to go to a gorgeous restaurant that was on the Cap Ferrat. Here I am, trying to pose and look chic, despite my prominent freckles. J did a great job with the reservations here; the food was amazing and the clientele was ridiculously good-looking.
Believe me when I say that the sunset was among the most romantic experiences of my life. Unfortunately, we forgot we had a camera until it got dark. It was still a gorgeous beginning to a romantic vacation, however. The next day, we went to Morocco, which will be the subject of my next post, if only because we took more pictures!! :)
