The French Riviera in Two Days
Cheryl Shufflebotham · Explore · Road Trips South of FranceI have avoided the Riviera when visiting Provence, figuring that it would be too busy, too ritzy for my taste. Well, after finally deciding to give it a try—after all it is the Riviera—all I can say is “I get it!!!”
