The world famous St-Tropez

Hi everyone, I'm back!

I had a really good time in the south of France. It was so hot that I wondered how all the celebrities spotted there always manage to look so cool, literally...

Here are some photos of Saint-Tropez.

P.S. Thanks for 'voting' on my France vs Italy post! Twice as many voted for France!

France, je t'aime? or Italy, ti amo?

Are you a fan of all things French or all things Italian?

Let's say you can only choose one. Which would it be and why? Think of the brands, shopping, food, language, architecture, people, weather, culture...

France

The French Riviera

I'm going to the south of France in August!

A friend of mine has a house there and she has invited me over! I am only going for a few days because I have other commitments but it doesn't matter. I'm taking my son with me (my poor husband has to work!) so we'll probably spend lots of time doing nothing by the pool. I can't wait!

Have you ever been to the Côte d'Azur?

The secret garden

Isn't this gate* magical? There is something so inviting about it...

I can imagine walking into a secret garden full of flowers... and losing track of time.

Today I have a lunch date with a friend and I'm looking forward to cooling down with a Bellini... (There is one major disadvantage to having a car: no more drinking! So I have to make the most of it now!)

What are your plans? 

*It was actually the gate to someone's property in Oslo!

Homes with a view

When we were in Oslo about three weeks ago, we took a ferry to the Viking museum. On the way, I spotted a couple of lovely houses - all with a spectacular view.

The first one is my favourite (but no playing football in that garden..!).

I wouldn't mind this one, either.

I wonder if this house has a lift? Either way, the tower is quite cool. (And I love the colour of the sky!)

Would you like to live in one of these houses? Or have a beautiful apartment in the city?

When we were looking for a place to buy, we decided on the latter. We didn't want to climb stairs!
