Various pictures whiie Driving











We took random pictures while we drove. It is common to have homes up on the hillside. We even took a picture of a cow we saw for Sean.

The picture of the car is what we are driving around in.

Mougins School






Sarah will be attending Mougins School in Mougins. We found the school and was able to take pictures of it from the outside of it. We couldn't get a hold of anyone in the office, so we were not able to take a tour.

Village of Gourdon





We went to the village of Gourdon which is on top of a mountain. We had lunch in the village overlooking the coastline. It was beautiful. They had many shops and restaurants. It was great place to walk around and the views were incredible.

Village of Valbonne










The Village of Valbonne is a village that is close by to where we are going to live. Its about a 10 min walk from our house. There are shops, a library, doctor offices, pharmacy, restaurants, and specialty shops such as bakery, cheese/bread shop, and fruit and vegetable shop, and butcher. The smells from these shops are great! It was fun to walk around see the different shops.


The picture of the faucet is a drinking fountain.
The picture of the church is a art museum.
