We finally pulled ourselves away from the coast and visited several of the medieval hillside villages. Sure glad we did because they were really amazing. Most of the villages are only about 8 or so miles inland and a bit cooler because of the elevation.
On the tour was Bormes les Mimosas, Tourrettes sur Loup (one of the oldest medieval villages in the French Riviera), Saint Paul de Vence and the old city of Mougins.
We ended the day in Villeneuve Loubet to visit the museum honoring Auguste Escoffier. He was said to be the King of Chefs and the Chef of Kings and was the pre-eminant chef of the 20th century. Many classical and toady's chefs still rely of his Le Guide Culinaire for culinary wisdom. Michael was thrilled to visit the masters home town and museum.
