Trips in Picturesque France

If you ever get the occasion to fly to Europe, take the coastal road in Italy from Ventimiglia to San Remo. This area is called Via Aurelia and it is the oldest Italian road, made by the Romans.

You may just find the area to be the most awe-inspiring road that you can ever see in the world since it is a very colorful place, thanks to the bougainvilleas and the many charming flowers growing everywhere. You can leave the house on a Friday night and drive by car to Fontan, a minute medieval village, which has very few people in the winter. The path is also positioned very close to the border of Italy so you can actually travel between two countries in two days.

As for us, our first day started in San Remo in Italy; unexpectedly, there was a sale in the stalls, hence we ended up shopping. The prices are very attractive and you can find a scarf and a blouse for a hardly anything price. We ate in a traditional restaurant, relaxed on the beach, and wandered on the hills. The next day we organized a picnic in Casterino, an nice alpine village; we visited Saorge after, a village considered as one of the most beautiful in France.
