The Cote d’ Azur is the Best for Sure

The playground for the rich and famous, nothing beats the Cote d’ Azur. It’s famous ports run off the tip of the tongue like honey: St Tropez, San Raphael, Cannes, Antibes, Nice, are all like precious jewels set in the glittery coast of France. Super yachts are outdone by mega super yachts. Sun worshipers wash the beaches in golden tans that blend with the terracotta rooftops of the quaint fishing villages. John suggested we spend a few days anchored in the bay near the point des Fourmis just east of Nice. We spent some time visiting the Rothchild’s estate with its exotic gardens and walking past David Nivens old estate that was originally owned by Charlie Chaplin. While we didn’t exactly get a dinner engagement, we did have a light lunch in the Rothchild estate tea room.
