10 GREAT THINGS To Do On The French Riviera This Autumn. 4k walk around St Jean Cap Ferrat.

[@Lawman212]

Hello Tim, I've been watching all of your videos. They really are quite personal and beautiful. I visited the Cote d'Azur in 2019, and, at that time, planned to return quickly. However, the pandemic has changed many of my circumstances. I will share one of my favorite afternoons. I took the train to Monaco, and took a bus up to the palace. In that neighborhood, there are quite a few tourist shops, so I bought some postcards. I then walked down to Jardins de Saint Martin perched on the cliffside overlooking the ocean. It was such a beautiful day that I wanted to linger there, so I pulled out all my postcards and composed them then and there. It was a very inspirational place to write! Everybody would get a kick out of a post card from Monaco, I thought. When finished, I walked back up the hill with my sheaf of post cards, and stopped by the post office at the Place de la Mairie. The clerks there were surprised at the number of post cards, and promptly split into teams to stamp them all for me! It was royal service to be sure. It was a very lovely and peaceful afternoon. And cheap! I hope I will be able to visit again soon.

Thanks glad you are enjoying!

Hi Tim What about the Nietzche path downwards from Eze village to Eze sur mer , hahahaha and the beachwalk Cap dail to MC 🤩🤩🤩 Miss your homeground 🤣🤣🤣

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes both fun. The Cap d’ail one is lovely…

[@dpnice7721]

Let's add a few villages for lunch; Eze, Peillon, Peille, St Agnes, Roquebrune, La Turbie.

[@MeandMonAmi]

I feel some adventures coming on! Haven’t been to St Agnes for years but loved it up there.

[@dondevine8655]

Your newsy recollections are priceless!! Truly an insiders viewpoint! We had seven summers there in St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat. A few days a week at the Club Dauphin, at the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat, and on the boat at Beaulieu sur Mer. Thank you!!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Don. I’ve never been to the club but heard great things.

[@simonclews]

La Turbie. The Roman "Trophée Des Alpes", built 2,000 years ago to commemorate Augustus's conquering of the native Celts as the Roman Empire expanded west, and the views of Monaco from the Tête de Chien overlook are spectacular.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yup it’s amazing. Have you been to cafe de la Fontaine in LaTurbie?

[@simonclews]

@@MeandMonAmi No, not that cafe, Tim, as I didn't do any research on restaurants before arriving on my first visit in 2010 and we haven't had a meal in La Turbie since. I had a lovely lunch at the Brasserie Pampérigouste that year (Côtelettes d'agneau, frites and a half litre of rose). It was on my 56th birthday. I just stumbled upon it as I explored the village. I was on my own, as Susan and our daughter were in Nice shopping for my birthday present :-). I had intended to tour the Trophée on that occasion, but it was a Monday - the only day they're closed. After lunch I walked up the hill to the Tête de Chien to view Cap Ferrat, Èze, Monaco and, in the hazy distance, Corse, of course.

[@MeandMonAmi]

@@simonclews Yup it’s a terrific view. Fontaine is well worth booking for. It’s the sister restaurant to the much more expensive Hostellerie Jerome.

[@paulrogers8837]

Hi Tim, great video thanks. We arrived back from VF yesterday & miss it already, roll on November when we’re back. A great autumn, winter & spring day out (especially on the clearer cooler days) is Parc departmental de la grande corniche up above Eze village. Even better costal views - from the Red rock area west of Cannes to Italy AND inland to the Alps - even better when there’s snow on the mountains. Lots of walks and picnic areas - if you want you can walk all the way to La Turbie and take the bus back. Its all completely free too. Thanks for being patient with us when we cornered you on La Darse beach - a real gent! Paul & Ali

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Paul. Great info and it was lovely to meet you and I was so pleased you came to tell me you were watching the channel!

[@RonFennakadas]

Can’t wait to travel south out of Paris on our next holiday. You have made it seem very accessible. Merci. 💙🤍❤️

[@NickiFitzgerald369]

Thanks for this video, it’s SO good! And you walked past my house, which we haven’t been able to visit for 2 years now 😡 SSSOOOOO good to see my beloved Cap Ferrat again, THANK YOU 🙏🏼

[@MeandMonAmi]

So pleased you enjoyed! I thought you’d made it over…

[@NickiFitzgerald369]

@@MeandMonAmi still not allowed to leave our island prison down under 😳

[@FRanceSource]

Fall IS the best time to travel. We love the fall colors, whether in Eze, Menton or anywhere in the Cote d'Azur. I realize we are tourists however we are 'seasoned' and so enjoy not seeing crowds of tour groups from Sep-early November. Couldn't travel this year as my mom passed away but we are on for next fall. Look forward to Sunday. Merci as always. Continuing our 3rd re-watch of Me and Mon Ami (Tim too)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks and yes fall is the best time I think

[@francophiletb]

Hi Tim loved the suggestions those subset views will definitely be appreciated next September when we arrive after 2 years of restrictions. Edith Piafs villa, sounds interesting. I agree the Chateaux in Nice is worth am visit, we did it on the land train. We're bringing our escooters too next year so the cycle path will get used and abused. Keep up the great blogs. ;-) Vence next year already booked whoopee.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Will do! I shall look out for you on the cycle path!

[@ritascappaticci767]

Thanks Tim,Always Great Walks with you,we prefer now coming to the french riviera in Winter,not too crown,beautifu weather,last january was fantastic...we also visited cagnes sur mer

[@garyhall9329]

My sister lives there.the villa faces towards nice and that path you on about I've walked all the way round and it took me all day and I loved it..and I miss the place so much you have to pop round and av a cup off tea with hir lol 😆

[@MeandMonAmi]

I’ll give her a buzz! Glad you enjoyed.

[@williambuklad9622]

walking east from Menton, the shore road splits, the left byway leads to the old border crossing (a scene shoot in the 'Day of the Jackal' #1.) The right route (and the new border crossing) leads to a foot path and into Italy along the coast, just over the border is a small paleolithic human settlement museum that is worth a visit. The quick transformation into Italy as you walk is a memorable but simple pleasure. There probably is a way to connect to Hansbury Gardens but I didn't find it. Take the old border crossing by way for that.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks William that sounds a must do. Going on the list for Autumn.

[@andyshacks7812]

Oh wow. Those beaches ! I’d book a flight tomorrow if I could get the time off work !

[@MeandMonAmi]

Tell them you need compassionate leave

[@marthasmith5802]

Great tour guide!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Martha

[@MonkeyInADryer]

We have been in Nice for the last 3 weeks and have visited many towns along the coast. All very beautiful! We have decided to come back in the winter months since even the September weather here is still a little bit hot for us Minnesotans. We got a chance to go to your neck of the woods in Villefranche. Beautiful drive and lovely little town. Can't wait to come back in the Winter to spend more time exploring Nice, and Menton. Will keep watching and enjoying your features :)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Andrea. Yes it’s been quite a warm September. October can be good. Some things close from Nov to Xmas so just pick your dates carefully

[@lvasilieva6981]

Thank you for your video! Looking forward to go to France and walk round the Cap-Ferrat in November.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks for watching

[@fionataylor27]

Thanks, Tim - a few new ideas there. Finally coming out to Beausoleil again in October (after 14 months!). Can't wait to have a pre-lunch drink and nibbles at Wine Pier in the sun, watching the world go by .... St. Laurent du Var (although not particularly picturesque) has a good sandy beach and loads of bars/restaurants along the front, most of which stay open all year.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Indeed it does. And a very good cycle path and pan bagnat buvette on the beach. Have a great time!

[@vanessapearce4348]

Thanks for all those Autumn tips. Safe to walk the sentiers on own? ie fair amount of foot traffic. I always visit the colline du chateau & cemetaries. Spectacular views. Also the l'église russe, off Gambetta is beautiful. Liked the shot of Halloween having a quick 'rinse' 😄

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes I’d say so on a nice day there are enough people about. Yes we went to the Russian cathedral recently and it’s lovely. Fascinating other buildings in that area too like the giant uni building up by the tennis courts

[@vanessapearce4348]

Many thanks. Will take a look at the Uni building next time 😊

[@williambuklad9622]

it's a very upscale community, everywhere, safety-wise.

[@mozy7773]

I can't wait one day to do that walk!! It looks great! Thank you! Great video :)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Maureen.

[@Caoucaren]

Great vlog thanks for the suggestions. I’m booked and arrive Oct 12 and will winter in Cannes, so great timing. Ile St Marguerite, famous for holding the man with the iron mask, and Ile St Honorat, Lerin monastery off the coast of Cannes are worth a visit as well.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Raoul and great you are coming back. Never been to the islands so that’s going on the list too!

[@gallarytours4108]

Hello Tim, another great vlog as always. We arrived in Nice on Tuesday the 14th & go back to blighty on the 1st of October. We are staying in Vence & we will be definitely be doing the walks you talked about while we are here as they are far to hot to do in July & August. Hope to bump into you while we’re here so that we can buy you & Mr Boo a coffee.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Send us a message when you are over here!

[@gallarytours4108]

Yes ok we will be in contact for a meet up early next week.

[@gallarytours4108]

Hello Tim, I hope you’ve had a good week. We will be in Villefranche around 1 o’clock if you’ & Mr Boo are available for a meet up. If so let us know the best place to meet. 😃

[@gallarytours4108]

Whoops I forgot to say we will be there on Monday lol .

[@MeandMonAmi]

@@gallarytours4108 Mr Boo working but I should be around for a drink. Maybe message via Instagram when you are in the village?

[@air1st1]

Hi Tim, Another enjoyable Trek. We tried to get in touch with you for the last two weeks we were staying in VFSM. Asked Sabastian if he knew your contact info but he didn't. We are now in Nice for a week and Ate at Le Comptoir Du Marche and have reservations for Archiadio for Tuesday then Bar Oiseaux on Wednesday. Cave du Cours will be Thursday night (our third time this trip!). Sorry we missed you and Richard but I'll have a drink for you (hee). Until next year, we'll be back again in September. Likely with our 5th jab by then!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Sorry I missed you. Instagram is surest way to reach me. Acchiardo has been closed all week due to a faulty extractor and was closed when we went today. Hope you have more luck. Five jabs Bob!

[@air1st1]

@@MeandMonAmi Thanks for the tip on Acchiardo, we may have to go to Bar Oiseaux today. I'm thinking this shit show is going to be on going for a couple of years. So, Mary and I have had three jabs so far and then if it goes on it'll be either twice a year or maybe only once a year, we'll see. Africa will be the long pole in the tent, so it won't be over until Africa is controlled.

[@MeandMonAmi]

@@air1st1 Oh I think the it’ll be like the flu jab, something offered to those who are vulnerable for many many years to come. Enjoy lunch!

[@nathalieflaton1209]

😍 we love Sunday night, we have enjoyed your walk again. We would like to rent electric bikes, but it wasn't possible for us, they wanted us too pay a thousand euros deposit a bike! Maybe someone know where it is possible for a small budget? In the Netherlands we paid €50 deposit. And does someone know where to rent a scooter?

[@MeandMonAmi]

That’s crazy. Was this a shop or the e bike system run by the nice 06? I think villefranche autos rent e scooters..

[@nathalieflaton1209]

@@MeandMonAmi It was a shop in Nice

[@garyhall9329]

Did you ever go to the zoo that was there as well,it's not there anymore shame.....

[@dpnice7721]

The zoo was exceptional, I went often for a couple of hours. Was extremly sad to see it closed.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes we loved the zoo. You probably aren’t meant to say that these days but it was charming!
