In February 2003, we took a trip to the French Riveria.  We stayed in Cannes but traveled all over the coast (the Cote D'Azur), parts of the countryside (Provence) and Italy.  This is Mike in Cannes.

This was our hotel in Cannes, the Hotel de Paris.

Our rental for our trip, a Citroen C5.  It was a pretty sweet car..it even had an oboard computer with GPS.

The GPS in action.

Mike's turn.

Our first of many great meals on the trip was eaten here, at La Petite Maison in Cannes.

Driving south from Cannes we went into the Esterel, a mountainous area of the coast.

And April.
