St Tropez & villages beyond

Hot sun, lukewarm Pizzas and chilled coffee today for the poor church mice on a pension.
St Tropez is where the wealthy display their floating palaces and beyond as far as the eye can see along the Cote d'Azure.
We enjoy the spectacle of decks being scrubbed, and plastic being polished but enough is enough and beat a retreat to the hills just outside.
The quaint villages of Ramatuelle and Gassin provide ample photo opportunities.


Snow on the Alps beyond is where we are heading next

Port Grimaud

Grimaud ancient Monument


The Bay of St Tropez & Grimaud

Near St Tropez at Grimaud we are pleasantly surprised by the almost opulent facilities on this highly secure campsite. English speaking young lady at the reception desk and a kind gentleman riding a bicycle who leads us directly to the cabin which will keep us comfortable for the next three nights. He says the owner of the campsite owns a Morgan three wheeler, so perhaps we shall meet and talk Morganese.   Grimaud Camp

Threatening clouds drop their rain overnight - Nice sunset though.
