Have you tried the Chanel Les Eaux collection? Originally released as a collection of three fragrances – Paris-Deauville, Paris-Biarritz and Paris-Venise, this summer we were introduced to the Côte d’Azur influenced Paris-Riviera. The fragrances are characterised by a lighter style in an Eau de Toilette […]

February Favourites : White As Snow
2017 is zooming by and we’re now into March and thankfully spring will arrive at the end of the month which is such a mood booster, it’s like a little mother’s helper but of the natural variety. There is an abundance of colour in these parts thanks […]
Daytripper : Cannes : Breathing The Air At Film Festival Time
Cannes at Film Festival time becomes a town full of loosely worn lanyards and people talking up their projects. As it was a public holiday last Monday I went to have a peek and meet up with friends. Maybe small glimmers of glitz would rub off on […]
Daytripper : Marseille : Better Than Expected
Marseille still has a bit of a bad reputation and I never hear anyone saying they’re visiting the city as their main destination for a holiday. Note I’m using the French spelling of the city, as there’s an ‘s’ added to the end of the […]
Daytripper : Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat
If you’re visiting Nice and its surrounds I highly recommend a trip to Villa Ephrussi in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat. The villa was built between 1905 and 1912 by Baroness Béatrice de Rothschild and designed by Aaron Messiah. It’s brimming with antiques, paintings, sculptures, a porcelain […]
Nicole de Vesian’s La Louve
Put this on your wish list if you’re visiting the South of France.
St Tropez : Market Day In April
It’s now spring in the South of France and this week it started to feel that the sombre mood of the past few months is lifting and the days are getting lighter and longer. I’ve popped over to St Tropez twice recently as it is the perfect […]
Snow Trip
I hadn’t spent much time in snow before living in France and have come to skiing a bit late if the truth be told. Whilst the kids are whizzing down the slopes, I gingerly weave my way through toddlers and my heart skips a beat […]
Bonne Année 2015 : La Première Balade
I love a walk in the country and there’s nothing better to usher in the New Year than some time spent in the great outdoors. Today we journeyed to La Plan de la Tour a small village near Sainte Maxime and explored the surrounding countryside. Nothing […]
Sunday Ramblings : St Tropez Pre Christmas
I prefer St Tropez in the cooler months. It’s a more pleasant time to visit than summer when the cruise ships arrive and the tiny village is so inundated with people you can barely move or breathe in its over heated crowded streets. However it is a […]
Daytripper : Medieval Sights at Les Baux de Provence
Day trips are a must do when living in France, there are so many gorgeous villages and cities to explore and I never seem to grow weary of it. The kids however are of a different disposition – the lure of ‘another pretty village’ is […]
