Life in the South of France | Strawberry Tart, Village Walk & Sunset

Hello everyone! How are you? I hope everything is good. Oh, we had rain last night with the sand that comes from Sahara desert and everything is dirty. The laundry that I just made is dirty. So, this morning I woke up with a strong feeling that some cleaning have to be done today. We do have often the rain mixed with the sand which cross all Mediterranean. Imagine it travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to reach southern Europe. But now the weather is good, the birds are singing their songs and it's still a school vacation. So, we're gonna go and visit sister village. So, our village we don't see. We don't see from here our village. It's just there. So dirty the car after that rain. Let's continue the beautiful road. Yes, we need to visit one place in Saint-Agnès. The village is just next to our village. We are here because we need to visit a bunker. I know it's very strange but I'll explain you later. In fact, during the school vacation kids had to visit something that holds history. It is close for a lunch break and we do have like a half an hour and we will walk inside the village and that way you have a a viewpoint that we also will go later and we will eat ice cream in the cute restaurant. So, here are three roads. One, two and one road that goes down. This is basically what we have in our village. Like three or maybe four roads maximum and our villages are very similar. It's in the same area and it's just on the next mountain. There are lots of insects, lots of flowers. It is a very pleasant time. I had already like a travel video about this village Saint-Agnès that I made two years ago but nothing changed. We just have a half an hour before the bunker is open after the lunch break so we will just walk in the village for a bit. I would say that Saint-Agnès is a remote village because it's a bit complicated to get here. You have to take a bus from Montaigne and it is a highest coastal village in Europe. 800 meters above the sea level just above Montaigne. So, you can imagine the views that we will see just later on over the Mediterranean Sea. It's slightly more touristy than in our village. You do have here a couple of souvenir shops and the restaurants are almost always full in the good weather at lunchtime. Actually, it is famous between locals because there are great hikes around so you will see like many people with the backpacks and sticks. The weather is so beautiful even I have to do so many things at home but during the day when the sun is high up you just want to go out because the nature around us it's just like calling us go out from the house see the things around. But also because it is a school vacation I think if Matthew is in school I would stay home and clean all day just. There are always good restaurants. You eat very good in the mountains. The menu would not be full with the seafood like next to the sea but oh my god for example here or the meats too are the best in the villages like this. And now it's a time to go back in the past. Okay, it is hard to believe that in such a beautiful village full of flowers and birds singing there is a very big bunker from the second world war. It is very well maintained because of the beautiful person who taking care of it and yes you can visit inside. It's a guided tour in French. This is really incredible to think of it how it is peaceful now and how it wasn't before and we are very grateful for that. So you do have a viewpoint basically from everywhere but you do have like a viewpoints and you see Montaigne, Roquebrune and in this side and another side you see all the way till the Italy. Today you don't see really a horizon between the sea and the sky very strange. Well after all these emotions let's have a drink, a fresh drink and a gelato. It is like a bar during the day but it is also a restaurant. The view is stunning. You can have a dinner here in the season also. I think it's Wednesday today you see even like during the week there are visitors. The season has already started indeed. Now let's go back home because Chris gonna come back soon, need to prepare a dinner and also I put the old laundry again in the machine. I'm gonna go back to the daily routine after a quick break. You wanna go by walk until home? Our village is just behind that mountain. You can hike back to the home village but I found Matthew next to the car. Even it's not that far but you drive very slowly because the road is very steep and narrow and at the same time you enjoy the view. This is our village, looks pretty the same. We are back home. After I saw so many flowers in Sant'Agnese I have only one thing in my head. Take care of my flowers and make it better. The most precious moment of the day. So happy that I made a tarte aux fraises this morning. The time before the sunset is one of my favorite. Same as the time before the sunrise, the golden hour when the sun is very very soft and the nature is very quiet. Today was a good day. I'm grateful for today and looking forward for tomorrow and I thank you to spend the day with us. We love you all and see you very soon.
