Last August/September we enjoyed our summer vacation
with our daughter and per family
at Le Lavandou on the Cote d'Azur.
at Le Lavandou on the Cote d'Azur.
I'm told this is where many french families holiday.
Le Lavandou had a wonderful atmosphere,
great beaches, shops, restaurants and markets.
Each evening we drove in to Le Lavandou
for our promenade along the walkway near the beach.
Each evening there were people building sandcastles
works of art in sand
the children loved watching the artists
Jean Blanc beach
which was 2 minutes from the villa.
As with many of the Mediterranean beaches,
we climbed 90 something steps down to the sandy bay
the hard part was climbing back up at the end of the day!!
But it was well worth it.

At Cap Negre just a short boat ride away
the french President Nicholas Sarkosy
and his wife Carla Bruni
were holidaying at her family holiday estate.
We could just see a beautiful villa
peeking out of the trees at the end of the point.

On a day trip to St Tropez we drove past the turn-off
which was heavily guarded by the Gendarmerie.
Helicopters were coming and going all the time.
