Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur - Briançon, Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Monaco (no grit)

I decided to visit Briançon almost 3 months ago, and then the south coast (côte d'azur) in October.

Briançon has very little in common with the rest of the region. The region is Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur (PACA). Briançon is a mid-sized city in the middle of the Alps in the north of PACA. It it said to be the highest city in France (1,300 m)



Briançon and the villages around (Mont-Dauphin, Saint-Crépin, Eygliers... the big mountain with the glaciers is La Meije 3983 m)

Grenoble, on my way to the train station





























































































































Now we're off to Antibes through the southern Alps

















... And then we arrive in Antibes









































































Off to Cannes (a 20 min bus ride)

















































































Nice



















A group of French I met on the street

























































And the last but not the least: Monaco, which is also one of the smallest countries in the world.

Yeah, the French are arrogant but that's old news (unless you were speaking of me? In this case, I might be arrogant but I'm not French) The côte d'azur is not the best place to travel to if you're looking for simple and nice people.

Beautiful pictures. I remember visiting a friend in Grenoble (in 1994) ... such a gorgeous landscape around a charming city.

Stunning!

I found myself gasping image after image. You must have dedicated a large part of your time towards photography.. I mean, there is no shortage of photogenic scenery in this part of the world, but your skill and patience are definitely evident here. Thanks for sharing!

Love the French Riviera! It's been over a decade since I visited and I'd love to head back for another visit. Thanks for the photos!
