For May 9.

I visited this area with my parents in October last year, but I didn’t visit this beautiful village due to time and road conditions.

This village is about an hour from Antibes. I thought I would take the highway to the east of Nice and then drive on the tight mountain road, but the road was surprisingly nice and easy to drive. I could have taken my parents here.

The village was quiet and calm.

On the way from Koalas to Bargem, we also visited the Fernand Léger Museum, which we couldn’t enter when we visited six years ago because it was under renovation.

A must visit place if you are a leger lover.

We had a light lunch in this garden.

The road is tight from this area. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Biot where the Leger museum is. This is also a very small village.

There is nothing around. The village seems to be completely isolated. That’s why it’s good.

It seems to be a national park around here. I’ll look into the details slowly after returning home.

「Moustiers-Ste-Marie(ムスティエ・サント・マリー)」

It took about 2 hours from Baljem. The altitude was pretty high and the road to get here was hard, but it was well worth the visit!

There was one more village that I really wanted to visit, but it was 18:00 when I finished sightseeing this village, and I gave up crying.

We traveled to Aix-en-Provence, taking about an hour and a half to get there for the next day. We stayed here this day. However, the hotel is a few kilometers south of the city. It was an easy place to access the highway.

さあ、フランス編も残り僅か。明日10日にペルピニャンにてクルマを返します。
