Not the Riviera

France, the French Mediterranean

 

Summertime on the Mediterranean…

where the days stay late into the night.

Blue and inviting.

 

 

French Mediterranean

 

 Bandol.

Walking along the coast, one village to the next, like collecting seashells, each one is prettier than the last one, and you want to find just one more to go see.                                                                                                                                                        

Twilight doesn't mean the end of the day.

White cliffs and a transparent sea.

Along the coast of Marseille.

The Bleu Train a must (a commuter train which hugs along the coastline between Marseille and Carry le Rouet…)

If you come to Provence, make sure to see the small ports:

La Cioata, Cassis, drive along the Route de Crete, Bandol, Toulon, walk along the stone wall seaside path at Cap Ferrat, or go inland Turbie, Peillon… or take the train de Merveilles from Nice into the countryside, I promise you, you won't regret it.

  3. Beauty everywhere!

  4. Such a magnificently stunning part of the world. I’ll be there about in September on a tour with bloggers Patricia Sands and Deborah Bines. Can’t wait to see this part of France.

  5. Gorgeous.
    Apart from the industrial north, France is very photogenic.

  6. Corey, you and Yann should write a book or run tours to these seaside villages. They are beautiful and you know them well. Your photography is great and your discriptions have me yearning to experience these places.

  7. Are you on his boat???? 🙂
