The south of France, specifically Provence and the French Riviera, totally surprised me. I was sure Italy would be the most beautiful part of the trip, but because I love flowers, these two regions became a favorite. So many beautiful flowers and gardens everywhere, with the blue sea as a backdrop.
From our first stop at a 17th century castle turned winery, to the Princess Grace Garden of Monaco and the famous flower market in Nice, I was in my element. There was also a medieval basilica high on a mountain in Marseille as well as Eze, a medieval village with hundreds of narrow stone steps to explore.
I was amazed by the long and lovely promenade in Nice where we strolled and people watched. I discovered that I may be a bit of a snob when it comes to beaches, since I live in Florida with our white sand beaches. But, even though the beaches were rocks, the beauty of that blue, blue Mediterranean Sea was hard to beat.
This region is on my list to visit again and spend more time amongst the flowers.
