Southern France Fun

Menton France

Last weekend William had a basketball game in Monaco, so we decided to spend the weekend with his parents in the south to make the most of the time being there.  We stayed in Menton France, which is right outside of Monaco, and very close to Italy.  It's a beautiful little town.  We had a great time enjoying the sea (the brightest bluest water i've ever seen!), the sunshine, and relaxing in warmer temperatures.  There's just something amazing about being in this type of atmosphere... I wish we could be in the south more!

This weekend, Menton had their annual lemon festival... This castle is made of lemons and oranges! They also had dragons and other figures... Super cool!

A view of Monaco

We enjoyed sleeping in and having a relaxing morning and delicious breakfast by the water

Our cute hotel

I found this picture online and thought it was too beautiful not to share!

Tête de Chien

BREATHTAKING!  There really is no better word to describe this view......  It was breathtaking seeing the sea and overlooking Monaco AND because the cliff dropped straight off! LOL  The fear of being that heigh was worth it for this incredible view!

The stadium on the right is where Will played his basketball game

This is the cliff we stood on

Cannes France

Our last stop on the trip was Cannes. We walked a lot, ate great food, and loved exploring another new French city.

Beautiful sandy beaches

Views from the top of the hill

The sea and the harbor

The entrance for the Cannes Festival

This building is painted with lots of famous movie characters ... (Mickey, C3PO, Batman & the Joker, etc)

French food NEVER disappoints.... And France can get me to eat ANYTHING. My meal was frog legs and they were delicious! I was laughing at the cute booty :)

They had lots of these all around the city to stick your face in and be a character from a famous movie... So here you have the new Mace Windu! LOL
