Kimberly and Scotts stay in their August homes

It was time to leave the beautiful mountains and make the journey to Valbonne, I find myself needing to pinch myself as I can’t believe this is my life! Going from one home to another, it’s just incredible! We drove through the tunnel, and continued through the Aoste Valley… through Puedmont and stopped in Alba for some lunch and samples the locally speciality of “ Tajarian” Pasta with truffles… It was just glorious! We were only there for an hour or so, but I lit candles in multiple churches, saw subterranean Roman ruins and of course had a delicious cappuccino! Take a look below for the incredible scenery we came across on the drive to Valbonne!

‍

On the way to Valbonne, we knew it was going to be a grey day so we stopped by the Mass at nOtre Dame de Puy, Cathedral od Grasse and then a quick tour of Fragonard, The boutiques in town carry the most beautiful and authentic items! There was only one restaurant open in the town and it was superb! Then it just happened to be sunset when we passed through Monaco… Take a look at the sunset pictures below!

Once we arrived to the home, greeted by the gates and the home on a hill, it’s such a beauty! The home is a perfect mix, especially right now with the chilly mornings and warm afternoons! We enjoyed being inside as much as being outside and relaxing with nature…

‍

For our day out, we visited Èze, this beautiful town could not have been more captivating! The scenery is just picturesque and it’s mesmerising to see this in person!

Happy hour in Nice… 

‍

We would totally recommend Cafe Josephine, which is also in the Chamonix Recommend guides, it felt a bit like Paris in the Alpes. The Service and variety of cocktails on offer were excellent.

‍

Chamonix without snow and just sun is just beautiful, but we were lucky enough to see Chamonix with a blanket of snow…  We will definitely be back soon to stay a couple more times this year!.
