Our campground had a convenience store next door, and at 7:30am, they got a delivery of still-warm croissants and pain au chocolat. As often as possible, this is how we start our mornings in France. I’m going to miss the croissants…
It was another beautiful day riding along the Cote d’Azur, though today we had fewer bike lanes, but not bad traffic overall, especially light in the very scenic coastal sections, but really busy after Cannes.
Thanks to our friend Darin, we had the right accessory to go with this selfie…
Steve wanted a croque monsieur for lunch at some place with a view, so we hunted around and found a cute restaurant at a quiet marina, where we shared lunch with what seemed to be a mixture of the local elite plus crewmen from the billionaire yachts anchored there. It was perfect!
We have an AirBNB in Antibes for two nights due to a 100% rain forecast for tomorrow. We are taking a rest day and visiting museums until the rain lets up, which should be Sunday.
All of France is abuzz about the elections Sunday. Half of the conversations I overheard on the street or in restaurants include Le Pen, Macron, Hollande, etc. I don’t understand enough French to get a feeling for how people are leaning, but there’s definitely a feeling of anxious anticipation right now…
After a light dinner in our AirBNB, we checked out the buzzing nightlife in town, including a few absinthe drinks at Absinthe Bar, quite tasty, and with an energetic pianist playing fun hits.
