French Riviera - Saint-Tropez

We headed east from Marseille to satisfy our positive snobbery and see what's going on in the most famous spots on the French Riviera. And so, we visited Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice, and Monte Carlo.

An evening at the theater

To end a beautiful Sunday, we were at the Polish Theatre for Adrianna Szymańska's monodrama "Kora – Child of the Sun." From the Theatre's website: "A musical tale of Kora, a charismatic artist, singer, lyricist, and painter. She was described as an eternal hippie and rock poet. The stage was her...
