It's a nice and sunny strip full of people, tiny pebbles, bicycles, umbrellas, trees, clear waters and blue skies...
And the best thing is, everything's right outside my hotel!
Life's a beach.
The whole city is walking around in shorts, bikinis, bare skin and sunblock...
Well, except for this lone Asian tourist who is all covered up...
What??? I just got off the plane!
But so ready to hit the beach!
The eating had started even before I stepped foot in France.
It begun as soon as I got on the plane, got off the plane and into the lounge, got out of the lounge and into the plane again.
Whew.
