Der mittelalterlich wirkende, eiförmige Altstadtkern mit seinen verschachtelten Plätzen und Gassen geht auf die Antike zurück. Ein Ringboulevard mit nahtlos aneinandergefügten Häusern ersetzt heute die einstige Stadtmauer. Im Zentrum ragt die Kathedrale auf - ein römischer Sarkophag dient als Altar. Ein Mosaik von Marc Chagall, das die Errettung Moses' darstellt, schmückt die Taufkapelle.Read more

Day 32
The High Road
May 6, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We set off from Pégo after a great few days of reconnecting, visiting and resting - many thanks to Patricia and Thierry for their amazing welcome. Because we tend to make these kinds of choices, we decided to take the mountainous route toward Nice. So with some non-negligable climbing we were able to explore the perfume city of Grasse, pedal by the beautiful villages of Bar-sur-Loup and Tourette-sur-Loup, enjoy some ice cream in Vence, and roll under the Baou of Saint-Jeannet. We ended our day camped along the Var River, in what felt like a very wild spot, despite being very much within a quite developed area.Read more

Day 24
Medieval Vence
September 19, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
After leaving the waterfalls, we drove into Vence, which at its core has a medieval village, probably the most used for everyday life of all the ones we have visited so far. This also had lots of restaurants in obscure spots. The kids were mesmerised by the cats - there are a lot of cats in France - so a lot of mesmerising going on!

There are a few hairy bits on the drive home, which prompted Finn and Kate to start singing the "Dumb ways to die" song. We added some of our own verses which included "driving on French Riviera roads for no good reason", "overtaking at speed when you can't see what's coming" and various iterations thereof.Read more
