Sisters in Nice

Spent the afternoon in Nice, one of my favourite places on the Cote d'Azur. It has so much charm from it's luxury fashion boutiques to the old town antiques market and shopping lanes. I'm going to stay there for a few days with my friends post-party so will be able to do some exploring of Nice's nightlife and what there is to discover on more of a student's budget. 

Here is today's ootd featuring my sister (right) who is shockingly 4 years younger than me but taller, chilling in the cooling mists of Nice's Place Massena...

Bastille Day - Vive la France!

Last year I spent Bastille day in Paris, watching the 14th July fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. This year I spent it watching fireworks in our less glamorous little village of Entrevaux, which has a significantly smaller budget for les feux d'artifices than the country's capital. However the setting of the citadel and our quaint medieval city made for a beautiful display of fireworks and a still enjoyable Bastille day.

I was digging around in our garage earlier and I discovered this beauty of a flag. Looks like something out of Les Mis (which we have the soundtrack of on repeat in the car at the moment) and was perfect for being patriotic on Bastille day.

Above, me and my beaut younger younger sister. 

Below, our little medieval "city" Entrevaux. 

I could intrigue you with a whole load of history about the village but I actually don't know that much. Except that it was once the port, designed by the famous Vauban, which defined territory owned by France on one side and Italy on the other. So this often unknown medieval village was once very influential and important.
