Journeys in Breathtaking France

If you ever get the opening to take a trip to Europe, take the coastal road in Italy from Ventimiglia to San Remo. This region is called Via Aurelia and it is the oldest Italian road, constructed by the Romans.

You may just find the area to be the most lovely road that you can ever see in the world since it is a very colorful place, thanks to the bougainvilleas and the many enchanting flowers growing everywhere. You can leave the house on a Friday night and drive by car to Fontan, a minuscule medieval village, which has very few residents in the winter. The path is also placed very close to the border of Italy so you can actually wander two countries in two days.

As for us, our first day started in San Remo in Italy; surprisingly, there was a sale in the booths, hence we ended up shopping. The prices are very low and you can find a scarf and a blouse for a good price. We ate in a traditional restaurant, lounged on the beach, and strolled on the hills. The next day we organized a picnic in Casterino, an stunning alpine village; we visited Saorge after, a village considered as one of the most picturesque in France.
