We like to stop in Menton at least once every time we’re in Italy. Quinnie and I checked out this outdoor Photo Gallery The girls buy a bottle of perfume at this store every year checking out some Halloween props… Menton has the best tasting McDonald’s we’ve ever been too. I know it sounds crazy […]
France
Wanderung in the French Alps- Lodging
The group would hike all day until they reached their new sleeping hut for the night. The places were usually pretty rustic, but great considering they were in the middle of nowhere.

Menton, France
We almost always make sure to visit Menton (called “the pearl of France”) whenever we’re at Oma and Opa’s place. It’s only a 40 minute drive from their home in Italy. Simon usually takes the girls to the beach while I do some shopping and exploring. Quinnie on the beach. The town square/ shopping area […]
