The saying "You will realize it's worth, once it is gone" is so true. Well "You appreciate things, you don't have" is also true. I am not used to visiting old towns. (I don't really know if the first district of Vienna can be called "old town") In my 4 nights and 5 days trip, I got to see a lot of old and new towns in southern France. My friends wanted to see the old towns and me who had no idea what the-must-see in the city was, just followed the alphas. Pretty amazing, how the natives could preserve the old buildings or the old town in general. Eze Village and St. Paul de Vence, also Menton were the most laidback. Eze Village is unique, because it's on top of a cliff, the houses are made of stones, I don't know people must have carved their houses in the 16th century) The other old towns were too much of a touristspot already. I even wondered, if the people living in the village, were okay with the fact that their "territory" is becoming more of a tourist spot and lose some of their privacy. I remember a plate saying, that entering the house is prohibited. Simply because "normal" people were living inside and it was not a museum. I so wanted to know how it looked like in their small and narrow house. You could see from the outside, that their rooms must be really small - even smaller compared to those in the typical english houses. The path was so narrow that it was not passable for the cars, so the people had to walk the "hill" up and the down. What a condition they got. I think it is cute. I liked it there. When you look out of the window all you can see is mountain, other houses and the ocean. Fresh air. Unlike in the modern city were you get to breath in exhaust gases, and one day exhale the same gases. The old towns have both - nature and native buildings. Wish the places stop being marketed and used as tourist spot. Oh and in Eze, the Jardin Exotique was beautiful. haha.
I think that's it for now about my NICE trip.
Love, Maj.
PS.: In southern france, if you don't own your own yacht or at least boat, you are a NOBODY. Boats everywhere, ports everywhere. <3
