Friday!

... and they lived happily ever after!

Did not find the time to update the blog lately - been busy having fun with family & friends and the bride (my sis)and the groom! For the coming days, many of us will be busy editing and watching our pictures. I am so looking forward to see what others saw :)

... and they lived happily ever after!

The best view ever...

The best view of our village

also the best view ever you could have from a living room

Isn't it?

Just love the stone and tiles. Tiles actually same as in the Metro of Paris! 

I would do anything to be there right now ..

Summer 2013 - waters

A few souvernir pictures of this summer water :)

 

 

Water is just great when you can swim in it not when it is pouring down like today !

Friday!

Côte d'Azur - Auctions

 





Abrivado and Bandido in Bouillargues

The festivities in Bouillargues last for a few days (from Thursday till Monday if I remember right) and we got to see the bulls for a couple of time during our stay.
On Monday, 40 bulls were let in the village's streets! I was not there but I have been promised a few pictures and when I get them I will make an exception to the rule and load a few here.

Abrivado: the bulls charge through the village to the arena.
Bandido: the return of the bulls from the arena to the paty (grazing grounds).

 

 

 

Similar festivities start in April till November all around the region. The Camargue area is plenty of traditions and I have not seen half of it. I will need to get back there again and again :)

Provencal mass and Roussataïo in Bouillargues

Bouillargues and its august festivities = friends, apéritifs, lunch & dinner, horses and bulls - I love it!

 

 

 

Provencal mass

 

Roussataïo (old tradition consisting of herding mares and foals to new grazing grounds) celebrated with camargue horses herded through Bouillargues streets by gardians in traditional dress (mounted cattle hersdmen in the Camargue delta in Provence).

Côte d'Azur - beautiful view

 

A few pictures from the top of Eze village where the view is just amazing.

Beautiful Eze Village



 

Monaco

Wandering in the neighborhood, we had to have a walk in Monaco.

Got to pose on the rock with youth. Similar pics taken a few years ago - place has not changed only the models have :)

Côte d'Azur - Eze Bord de Mer

Once again, it was great to laze around in Eze Bord de Mer.

 



 

 

Beautiful pebbles beach, the water was chrystal clear and youth enjoyed the paddle board even though they would have loved to try the fly board!

 

 

Thanks to Coco we just had a great time! Merci :)
