We woke to a beautiful Riviera day and breakfasted on the hotel's free coffee before heading off for a wander and ultimately ending up at the beach.
The town is very nice (I don't mean that as a pun everytime I write it), typically French buildings, pavement cafes, maniacs on scooters, etc.
After a lovely lunch we set off for the beach which was disappointing in so much as the rather large pebbles and very quickly shelving sea. Within a few yards the ground just fell away. That is not to say that we didn't enjoy it though, even if the pebbles did make walking a bit painful on bare feet. The steep slope combined with the large pebbles did make it quite difficult to get out of the sea. The waves pushed you forwards but the pebbles dragged you back. How we laughed watching others get out of the sea, until we tried it ourselves!
We stayed on the beach until gone 7pm and wandered back through town to the hotel, picking up some lovely takeaway asian food on the way to eat in the hotel room.
Back at the room we were deciding where to go next. The plan, (which is said in its loosest sense) now is to go as far as Marseilles and bomb up north to scenic Leuven. We used Google earth to find a nice town with good sandy beaches and found Frejus. The only problem was that the only hotel we could find with rooms is €147 per night. We'll just stay the one night then!
The other thing about Frejus is that it rhymes with Praise You and I can't get the Fatboy Slim song out of my head now!
Au revoir
