Welcome to the pocket version of my Paris & Provence ETBD tour!

Through these snapshots and memories, I hope to highlight for you the most poignant moments from my trip last May.  As luck would have it, our trip coincided with some significant dates for the cities on our tour: the second phase of the presidential elections (in Paris), the Cannes Film Festival (in Nice/Villefranche), and preparations for the Grand Prix (in Monaco), creating additional excitement for our group.  Under the brilliant and enlightened guidance of Kristen, our group gained a deep appreciation for the rich culture, traditions, history and food of France, ultimately dispelling the false stereotypes we sometimes hear here in America.  Thank you for your interest and I hope you will enjoy this web time capsule of memories.
