    Blog: Video Diary of an American in France - 8 March 2012

    Every year Annecy holds its Venetian Carnival. There are several events but for us walking around town and videotaping and photographing the costumed beauties is what we try to do every year.

  5. Hotel Hunting in Marseilles

    Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 3 June 2010

  6. Marseille, French Port at it’s Finest

    Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 2 June 2010

In addition to wandering the town’s pretty lanes, admiring the town beach, and taking a boat tour of the local inlets (les calanques), we had [...]
