Les Grottes de Saint-Cézaire

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, we took a drive to St. Cezaire, 15km from Grasse to see the caves. The St. Cézaire grottos were discovered in 1890 by local farmer Léon Dozol while he was working his land. The caves have beautiful formations of stalactites and stalagmites.

After the visit, we drove some more to other villages along the route, and for the first time, saw a field of poppies, you have to see the real thing. Photos do not do justice, but posted for your vicarious lifestyle !!! J J

As spring progresses, there are heaps of beautiful trees/shrubs/ flowers coming into bloom…... The tulips are gone, now its roses. Here’s some from gardens in our neighborhood.

Yes, there is a scarecrow!!

Ducks in the pond and also some that just out of their shell

Below are some in a park downtown Nice.

Away on a Road Trip

Fete du Chocolat au Vieux Cannet (Choc fest in old village)

This is the second Chocolat fest that we happened to go to. Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? We sure can't. Anyway here are some photos of the Choc fest held at the old village, Le Cannet, just north up the hill from Cannes.

This painting is a metaphor of love symbolized by newlyweds taking off above the Garden of Eden inspired by the city of Cannet.Raymond PEYNET, honorary citizen The City of Cannet, painted this work in honor of the newlyweds that he wanted to offer a poetic stage in their wedding trips.

Le Castillet

St. Catherine of Alexandria church

Walking back to our car, we notice this aquaduc. There is no way to access this as the area here is residential and all fenced. We found one that was not and we climbed down and walked along the canal.
