Expanding on France this week. In the span of five years, I’ve traveled through 9 of the 13 regions of France. The area that has captured my soul is the French Riviera, the famous Cote d’Azur on the Mediterranean coast in southeast France. You can fly into Nice and take the train to any of the towns that dot the coast, my favorite is Villefranche Sur Mer. I still have a vivid memory of watching the sun drop into the sea while having a lovely homecooked dinner on the terrace of a gorgeous villa. Swaying to the wine and music of Frank Sinatra floating around me with the balmy sea breeze under the night sky. Magical. The quality of the light in September is beautiful, it feels ethereal and ephemeral.  I can see why artists like Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Cezanne and others were also drawn to the region. Last summer, I flew into Nice for a couple days just to enjoy some time in Villefranche Sur Mer. I spent one day on a vintage yacht moored in the bay and another at the beach club beneath the train station soaking up the sunshine.
