In this set I present photos I took while we were vacationing at the very beginning of our summer trip with the families of our two children in the small village of MONTAUROUX located in the hills slightly to the west and inland from Nice/France. Almost all these images were taken in the department Var, except for the two at VILLEFRANCHE-sur-MER, which was right at the CΓ΄te d'Azur or, as it is called in English: the French Riviera. We have spent with our families quite a few vacations at houses that we rented, but I have to admit, nothing comes even close to the place we had here in these hills: It was an absolutely grand venue. Unfortunately I have no images in this selection, other than of a fountain in the garden, but will present some when I get to do the full albums sometime in the future.
Beside Villefranche-sur-Mer, the images in this set come from 5 different, small villages, including Montauroux, up in these hills. I append links to further write-ups on a few of these:
VILLEFRANCHE-sur-MER - A preeminent resort town with substantial historical roots and a deep, natural harbor that has made it the most visited cruise ship port of call in France. More information from Wikipedia at -
