I was lucky enough to get to travel in the south of France for spring break this year. We stopped in Nice, St. Remy de Provence, and Montpellier, and got to see some nearby towns like Monaco, Avignon, Nîmes, Gordes, etc. The whole region is filled with really picturesque towns, interesting geography, and some really nice people.



Here are a few shots I took during the trip:



Looking down the Ave Jean Medecin in Nice







The Hotel Negresco, right along the Promenade des Anglais







Near the beach in Nice







The Port Lympia in Nice







A small cemetery on the Colline du Chateau near Old Nice







Casino on the Promenade des Anglais







Street in Nice at night







Another street







Church in Nice (I think it was an American Episcopal church or something)







Some restaurants







On the road from Nice to Monaco, hillside mansion







Same area







In Monaco, looking up from the Place d'Armes in Monaco







Street in Monaco







Looking out at the Port de Monaco







Looking out over the Port de Fontveille from Monaco-Ville







Another street







The Monte Carlo Casino







Some boats in the Port de Monaco







Out over the city from Monaco-ville







View of the port at dusk







Close up down into the Port; getting to watch night fall on the city was definitely my favorite part of the trip...







We then headed over to St. Remy de Provence; this was taken in Vence on the way over







Another shot on the way over; this is Tourettes-sur-Loup







Still on the way - this was near Pont-du-Loup







Night shot in St. Remy







We visited a few towns near St. Remy; this is Gordes, a interesting town perched on a hill







We also went to Avignon. Here is a shot of the city, from the Palais des Papes







Finally, we travelled to Montpellier to fly out, but we stopped in Nîmes first. Here is the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle







A clock tower in Nîmes







Thanks for viewing! I've been browsing SSP for a while now, but this is my first attempt at one of these...I was lucky enough to get to travel in the south of France for spring break this year.
