I recently spent more than three weeks at the Côte d'Azur in south-east France. The area around Antibes and the magical sea has given me a tremendous amount of energy and impressions. Monaco is one of the most spectacular places I've ever visited, here comes some pictures from my several visits to the principality. The ethereal beauty of this area and that of the Côte d'Azur is an explanation why the wealthiest and most important people have flocked to this particular seashore throughout history.
