No, not a new light BBC detective drama starring him from Midsomer Murders and her from something else that may have had Martin Clunes in it.
This is a virtual trip for Grans cruising along the Cote D’Azur on the luxury yacht Aresteas. We began in Marseille en route to Monte Carlo and are currently in Cannes.
All welcome. Bring swimsuits, sun cream and sparking Champagne.
This is a spillover thread with a title change to describe our current course. As on the old thread, we ask that people chat about the things they plan, encounter and explore along the route rather than post links.
Honestly, you go out for a quiet night of casino blackjack but someone always has to make a show of themselves. Maw turns up on Clooney’s arm wearing her Swanky Modes Amorphous Dress followed by a mob of paparazzi. Not only is she now splashed all over the front of Le Monde but she’s been whisked off by private jet to London to be photographed for Vogue's Esme Young retrospective. Form an orderly queue please to take care of a crestfallen George while she’s away.
Not for vertigo sufferers, breakfast at the Château Èza before exploring the village, described as one of the most beautiful in Alpes-Maritimes, and the exotic gardens. Joseanne will supply Band Aids and antihistamines for close encounters of the prickly kind. And maybe a salade nicoise.
Such early oiseaux! ouiseau - What a cracking word for Fr. Wordle, if only it had 5 letters... I digress.
As you can see, I am as yet undressed from last night and now enjoying the warmth and ambience of the Chateau, the closest I have been to home for a while yet.
I have decided to have a lazy morning. Just people watching over endless coffee and croissants, sunnies on, poised with paper as if I could understand like a native.
Quiet at the moment but I am sure it will rev up once the locals and the coach loads of trippers starting piling in.
See you later!
He did Joseanne. I found this in a blog:
For me, the main draw is climbing up the famous Nietszche trail from the coastline to the Village, named after the German philosopher who lived up there in the late 19th century. It is said that he climbed up the trail every day in the summer and that the heat gave him the hallucinations and inspiration for his work “Also Sprach Zarathustra “. I personally think that the daily trek up the hill also led to his celebrated madness… All this to say that the trail is ideal to climb up in the spring, autumn and winter, but not in the summer when it gets rather too warm in the sun, despite the gorgeous views. The first half is in the sunshine, directly facing the sea and the bay of Eze, then the trail turns inland and up the forested Vallon du Duc, before reaching the village. Bring plenty of water but hiking boots aren’t essential, trainers are enough. french-riviera-blog.com
Maybe the decision to kick back with a coffee watching the world go by is the safer option. No shoes required at all.
I think it was just the curls Joseanne.
For those enjoying a cool glass of white wine. Prost! 
On a final note, I'm about to disembark having purloined the lampshade from my cabin to wear as the latest fashion in hats. With my toutou in my arms, his name is Toto by the way, all I have to say, is that this cruise has been proof that the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.
Au revoir et à la prochaine. ? ? ? ? ?
