Cote d'Azur

old Antibes

Bonjour!
Well, the LeClerc's are on the move again and we have landed on the Cote d'Azur in Antibes, France!
We are really excited to explore the Cote and the south of France.  Maybe a little Italy. Why not!
Our first stop is Antibes, meaning "across from", (Nice) which was founded as a 5th century BC Greek colony. Roman artifacts such as aqueducts, fortified walls and urns can still be seen today. Antibes is also home to one of the worlds greatest Picasso collections.  The museum is inside the chateau Grimaldi where Picasso lived for a short time in 1946 and produced many works.
We enjoyed our first day here strolling the Marche Provencal, taking a dip in the mediterranean and  some French " joie d vivre"!

     Day at the beach!
