Marmot spotting on a Cote d’Azur holiday might seem a bit far fetched but actually its only a couple of hours drive into the Alpes Maritime to the perfect spot.I’ve always had a thing about Marmots, I don’t know what it is but there are such lovely creatures and really quite unusual. Whenever I’m on a walk in the high mountains of the Mercantour National Park, on the border with Italy, in the south of France, I’m always on the lookout for marmots.The trouble is they are quite secretive and only really tend to show...

Spotting Cicadas in the Cote d’Azur, France is frustratingly difficult as they are so well disguised.The shrill sound of cicadas is synonymous with the sound of summer in the south of France, the Cote d’Azur and Provence in particular. Look in the gift shops and you will see ceramic ones for sale all over the place, often you walk through the door and the imitation sound of cicadas begins.Mainly you will hear them in woodland in the hills but you will often come across them trilling in the garden of your Cote d’Azur villa. At first...

Holiday villas for home from home self catering so you can enjoy your holiday with the utmost convenience and feed your family what they like to eat.The great thing about self catering holidays is that you can eat what you want. You decide what’s on the menu, not the hotel chef. You know you are in control and that way you are sure your family will be happy. Of course you don’t need to cook all the time as there are lots of opportunities to eat out, which is far more interesting than eating in the same hotel all the time.Economy is another...

Rose wine a Cote d’Azur specialty is so a la mode in the UK at the moment and I can understand why.For many years I have enjoyed a cool glass of rose (pronounced “rosay”) with a meal in the Cote d’Azur in France and have often wondered why its popularity failed to transmit from the south of France to elsewhere.I had put it down to the climate and imagined that because it does taste so good when you are in a lovely warm climate, sat on a terrace overlooking the sea or a beautiful Mediterranean garden that maybe it just...

Isola 2000 Christmas ski report following my day in resort yesterday.NEW for 2012 is the digital ski pass system. Your card goes in the top left hand pocket, it gets scanned as you approach the barrier and through you go onto the lift, its much quicker.The snow has been late arriving in the Alps this year compared to recent times. It is now there in abundance in the northern Alps but the southern Alps is still a bit short. I was interested to know how this was impacting on our main southern French resort Isola 2000, so I went for a days skiing to...

It certainly makes for a superb day out cruising, particularly if you can let the hood down.Others are drawn...

The Vatican is a unique Italian holiday attraction, nowhere else has anything like it.
