Monaco and Cannes




My friend Laetitia, who lives in London now, is from Monaco and just so happens to have a quaint flat 10 mins from the beach in Monaco...so guess where I was this weekend? The ritzy beach village was packed with wealthy Europeans and more insanely wealthy Europeans with their Aston Martins and multi-million euro villas. Not to be forgotten are the super friendly Monagasques...money or no money, the people are very down to earth and care about each other.
Saturday we spent the morning shopping in Cannes where the fashion is ultra chic mets park avenue conservative. After picking up a few items I headed down to the beach to take in the sun and beautiful view. The architecture has lots of classic Mediterranean facades with balconies but is also very modern. The interior design is contemporary modern, everything is chic and has clean lines. When you are there, you just want to stay forever.
