Menton and Gourdon

The boys at Villeneuve Loubet on the
forest trail.
The church at Menton. Another village perched
up on a hill, with a nice view over the sea.

View up to the church at Menton.
Romain is from the building next door. We try to yell out to them, but with the background noise, it usually ends up being a phone call instead. We're off for a picnic again tomorrow.

Menton is the last stop before the border. Italy rail was on strike, so that's as far as we got that Sunday. The boys enjoyed some puzzles on the way back, plus food, which made it a lot better than the trip there.
Gourdon, Provence, at 960m high.

To visit Gourdon, there's a bit of a drive uphill. The views are the best in the area; all the way to the sea, and over the surrounding areas. It is tightly packed on a hill, like all the other villages. Not as nice as Gordon NSW of course.
