Another stupendous day of sightseeing! We drove through the Gorges du Verdon before heading south to Agay and the Cote d'Azur. I wish we planned for an extra half a day to stay and canoe/paddle-boat/kayak along the area you see pictured. Because the roads there are incredibly winding, we decided to take in the views, but stay on course for our check-in to the Agay hotel and our dinner in Cannes.
As you see, the weather was kind to us, and we had a great time ascending and descending the cozy roads of the Gorges.

These sheep were herded by 2 tiny dogs (maybe the size of a beagle). The shepherd girl yelled a command in French and all of a sudden we saw a commotion of sheep accumulating at the side of the road. So efficient.

| Rafting here looks great!!! |

Our small waterfront hotel had a terrace for a nightcap

Agay (across the road from the hotel). It was too chilly for me to swim, but some people did. Paul didn't want to get
his feet sandy... |
Agay is very small and peaceful. I can see how some would enjoy its serenity over the glitzy Cannes

| We were in Cannes a few days before the festival started, so the town was transforming into a showcase of stages, arenas, podiums, red carpets, etc., etc,. |

We returned to Agay to rest before our drive along the coast towards Nice.
Coming up... Nice and Monaco
