The French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. It includes famously glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and the independent microstate of Monaco. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s "jet set." Today it’s an established holiday destination, with paths connecting many coastal villages and towns. - Google

Saint-Tropez is a coastal town on the French Riviera, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. Long popular with artists, the town attracted the international "jet set" in the 1960s, and remains known for its beaches and nightlife. The cobblestoned La Ponche quarter recalls its past as a fishing village, although yachts now outnumber fishing boats in the Vieux Port (Old Port). - Google

Low-key, semi-residential Fréjus Plage is anchored by its namesake sandy beach, with umbrellas and sun loungers for rent, plus water sports facilities. The beach includes the Plage des Sablettes stretch, with views onto Le Vieux Port, a picturesque, yacht-filled harbor. The palm-lined waterfront promenade is packed with sidewalk cafes, seafood restaurants, and cocktail bars, plus stores selling beach gear. - Google

Am 11. November 1918 endete der erste Weltkrieg. 59 Jahr später reichen sich Rekruten aus Frankreich und Deutschland die Hände auf den ehemaligen Schlachtfeldern von Verdun, und feiern hier zusammen mit Offizieren und der Öffentlichkeit ihr Gelöbnis. Bereits zuvor besichtigten die Rekruten die Schauplätze des wohl dunkelsten Kapitels der deutsch-französischen Beziehung und waren sich sicher, so etwas darf sich nie wieder wiederholen.

Zuvor wurden die jungen Soldaten mit Hubschraubern von ihrem Heimatstützpunkt in Deutschland aus eingeflogen und schon direkt, mit den Stiefeln auf französischen Boden, von ihren Gästen empfangen. Gemeinsam ging es marschierend durch einige Dörfer in ein gemeinsames Biwak.

For the Guinness Book of Records:

If you've ever been to the Louvre, you may have stumbled across a small disc bearing the word "Arago" and the letters "N" and "S" - or in other words, the exact location of the old Paris Meridian. But what's the story there? How close did Paris ever get to becoming THE meridian? And why did we end up with Greenwich instead? I decided to investigate...

Recently, I discovered what might just be France's silliest holiday home: a small two-story house built on the top of an industrial chimney. So obviously I booked a night there immediately.
