Holiday trip Italy/France. Part II – France, The Côte d'Azur

With delay I publish some pictures from second part of my vacation (hmm, looking through window it's very nice to recall hot and sunny days in France). Visit France, especially the Côte d'Azur, in July - it is not the best idea, but definitely better than visit in August. Our week in the Port Grimaud was the last week before high season, so I could book the mobile-home with no the highest price :)

It was my next visit in this place.

I booked mobile-home through Booking.com page (yes, it's possible): Mobil-home Port Grimaud

We arrived on Saturday evening and stayed to next Saturday - one week.

Our target was - visit old Grimaud, visit St Tropez, travel to Verdon Gorge (Canion) and see the Lavender Fields.

First of all we went to Port Grimaud - interesting, tourist spot.

The old Grimaud is located nearly 6 km from the Port Gromaud, it is silent and nice town with the 11th-century castle ruins and the mill. You can stroll through the narrow little streets and meet nobody.

The old city

Strolling you can meet cats, lazy lying on the streets ...

St Tropez - what I should write about this place, it's famous spot ... We sailed boat and it was great idea - no traffic jam, no problem with car park.

Next target on our trip - Verdon Gorge (canion).

The Verdon Gorge (in French: Gorges du Verdon or Grand canyon du Verdon), in south-eastern France is a river canyon that is often considered to be one of Europe's most beautiful. It is about 25 kilometres long and up to 700 metres deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named after its startling turquoise-green colour, one of the canyon's most distinguishing characteristics.
