MacamMacamBoleh @ Southern France

Southern France

Southern France is a holiday destination suitable for various kind of travellers. It offers the beautiful beaches of Mediterranean sea, the chic coastal towns of Nice and Cannes, the historical medieval villages, the  home to millionaires and artists, the beautiful islands and even one of the best ocean-type theme park that I've been too, that is Marineland. Many famous movies shooting were done here too.
 
We spent about 4 days on our last holiday to Southern France but to us it's not enough. There is so much to see here. The bus fare to get from one town to another was also cheap. If not mistaken, I think it was  only 1 euro. But that was few years back. Not sure about now. Below is the beautiful coastal town of Nice 


Nice
 
In Nice, there is a place called Place Massena as in the photo below. It is basically a large plaza located in the old town section of Nice. It's also near to the seafront walkway. There is also a hill at this old town section with a waterfall at the top that offers a panaromic view of the City.We actually captured the first photo above from this hill.

Our next destination was the more exclusive  Monaco, the second smallest country in the world( about 1.95km square) after Vatican City and also the host to the annual Monaco Grand Prix. Below are the photos  captured in Monaco including the famous Monte Carlo and Port Monaco.

I think the red-white bar is significant to mark some point for the race


Port Monaco
If you plan to visit Southern France, don't miss the visit to Marineland. During my last visit, it has the whale show which is rarely available if you go to other ocean-type theme park throughout the world. Though I really enjoy the whale show, I'm not sure whether it's ethical to keep the whale inside the park. I mean the whale is really big but then it's confined to such a small space as compared to the vast ocean. But then,  I'm sure it's been taken good care of inside this Marineland.
 

 
 
It looks like the middle whale is being kissed by another =)

Such a big sea lion

And lastly, ever heard of the Cannes Film Festival? Below is how the Cannes look like.. =) It's also a famous place in Southern France. Long time ago, Cannes was just a small fishing village but now it has transform into such a glamorous and expensive town which host the annual Cannes Film Festival.
