Today I took the long bus ride to Vence. One of the better known hill towns above the riviera. Many artists used to stay here and it is an attractive old town with no cars in the center. After orbiting around, found what turned out to be a mediocre lunch, and then took the bus down the hill to St. Paul. This town is mobbed with tourists, but has a lovely aspect and still existent town walls. I walked around the walls and explored a little in the center. Very much reminiscent of some of the smaller Italian hill towns in Tuscany. Then it was a long ride home, by the time I actually got back to the apartment close to 2 hours. About mid afternoon, I generally feel like downtime as the temperature is usually a round 90 degrees. A little time in the air conditioning and a shower and it’s time to go out for an Apero and dinner. Tomorrow it’s pack up and off to Marseille for 3 nights. Found a promising looking AirBnB in the old port, see the Hotels page if you want to check it out.
