Thevillage of Peymeinadehas been added to Beyond. Located west ofGrasse, the village is more-or-less a café or shopping stop on theGrasse-Draguignanroad. But there is a pretty little old-village hidden away a few hundred metres behind the roadside town.

I imagined this piece about Monte Carlo would be full of typos and bizarre facts & figures! Actually, the Hindu’s description and history ofMonte Carlois succint and readable. Well, it is India’s biggest paper @ 14m subscription and with 130+ years of history.
I have to say, I am not sure that it has a 4000km coastline, but still…and I’m not certain about this: “Monte Carlo, which lies in the French Riviera on the Mediterranean sea

This morning, Nice woke up to snow, for the first time since January 2005. I remember where I was those five years ago: in a run-downfurnished hotel room, where I’d been since having ended the relationship with my ex of six years, who had taken everything.

I’ve been busy lately, and today was no exception — I went to Paris for a business meeting. Once it ended, I hopped on a metro to the Eiffel Tower, hoping to see it in the sunset.

It was a beautiful evening, and as always, my breath was taken away by Eiffel’s gorgeous conjunction of imposing mass and fine grace. You can see more of the“Iron Lady” in my photoset from today.

We've added the village ofLa Roque-d'Anthéronto Beyond. Famed for its annual international piano concerts in the summer, this medieval village beside the Durance is a next-door neighbor to theSilvacane Abbey, one of the “three Provencal Sisters” Cisercian monasteries.
