Hello from Nice!

Visiting Marseille, France

An easy train ride from Nice gets you to Marseille in two and half hours. Come along as we spend a few days visiting Marseille.

For nearly three hours, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band rocked the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille, France.

An all-day private wine tour in the Côtes de Provence with visits to three wineries and lunch in a charming Provençal village.

A short drive from Nice is the port city of Toulon, also home to the Toulon arsenal, the principal base of the French Navy.

The office and warehouse for the Fratelli Branca distillery turned into an apartment building with the original facade still standing.

After a few months in our new apartment and city, Nik, Koval the dog, and I are finally feeling settled in Nice.

It wasn't until late 2023 where we gave serious thought about moving to Nice and to use The Adrian Leeds Group to help find an apartment.

The final stop on our 10-day roadtrip before returning to Barcelona was in Bordeaux, France, a short drive from Biarritz.

Nik, Koval and I hit the road to cross over the Spain/France border into the French Basque Country coastal town of Biarritz.

We were excited for a return to visit to San Sebastián during a different time of a year and to stay at the luxurious Hotel Maria Cristina.
