09:31:29 There were a ridiculous number of cushions on the beds in our hotel room. | 09:36:20 Erika at the hotel. | 09:49:46 A late al fresco breakfast at the hotel. | 09:49:54 |
09:57:20 More pictures of the greenery at the hotel. | 09:57:27 | 09:57:39 Limes? | 10:43:10 Chie and Erika having a morning swim. |
11:02:07 | 11:09:33 I decided to sit this one out. | 11:49:43 Me amongst the vines again. | 11:55:02 On the way into St. Paul de Vence for lunch. |
11:56:45 More views of the village. | 12:30:52 Lunch at the Cafe de la Place - Erika had a croque monsieur... | 12:33:47 ...and I had a tofu steak (!) and chips. It wasn't bad actually. | 13:04:24 On the way to the Fondation Maeght. The heat was quite oppressive this afternoon and even though it was only a 20 or so minute walk I found it a bit arduous! |
13:23:04 On arrival at the Fondation Maeght. | 13:25:04 Barbara Hepworth. | 13:31:16 I think this bit was called the labyrinth. | 13:32:51 |
14:47:41 On the way back to the hotel, I found a slightly shorter route which avoided having to go back into the village again, but did give us nice views of it from a distance. | 14:48:36 | 14:49:48 | 14:50:08 |
14:51:23 | 14:52:33 | 17:10:26 After an afternoon swim I left the girls happily lounging at the hotel a bit longer so I could go for an early evening stroll into the village. | 17:14:44 Some zoomed-in-a-bit views of St. Paul de Vence on the walk in. |
17:14:49 | 17:17:40 Nice roof tiles here. | 17:19:22 An old water wheel. | 17:24:05 I was considering options for dinner. |
17:25:41 Views from the ramparts. | 17:27:28 The terrace of the hotel in the centre of the village, looked rather nice. | 17:28:14 Along the ramparts. | 17:33:08 Alleyways of St. Paul de Vence. |
17:33:12 | 17:35:29 The fountain again. | 17:55:45 St. Paul de Vence's wine shop. | 18:02:23 An aperitif at Chez Andreas overlooking the vineyard on the slopes of the village. |
18:02:28 | 18:07:43 Chie and Erika joined me here for a drink - here's Erika having an Orangina. | 18:07:49 | 18:08:18 Erika took a couple of pictures of us. I don't think this is my best angle. |
18:09:20 | 18:20:53 A few pictures of the slightly confusing different menus for the place where we were planning to have dinner. | 18:22:22 | 18:22:50 |
18:26:19 Chie. | 18:48:09 It was still a bit too early for dinner so we went for a stroll around the village. | 18:59:13 | 19:00:54 |
19:01:51 Chie and Erika on the ramparts. | 19:24:52 | 19:37:34 Dinner in Obatik now. Erika had pasta with home made pesto, and Chie had something involving squid. | 19:37:38 |
20:07:27 Catching a bit of the sunset after dinner. | 20:07:31 | 20:09:01 Outside the restaurant. | 20:22:26 Dessert on the ramparts. |
20:22:46 Nice lighting here. | 20:25:01 | 20:37:24 Heading back to our hotel now - here's Chie and Erika in the main gateway into the village. | 20:51:33 Back at the hotel now. |
