French Riviera Weekend

As some of you already know, this is where I came from before London. I lived in this area for 10 years. The list of places I will take you to are much visited and are easily accessible by train. However, there are other places to see which requires a car or bus for transport. I will start with this first, if all goes well – there is St Tropez, St Paul de Vence, Gourdon, Fayence, Nice, and many others.

View from hotel room

When: October 16-19, 2009
Hotel: La Petite Reserve. A small family run hotel in front of the beach, maximum capacity is 15 ppl (more with room sharing).
Please visit hotel’s website to reserve your room.

Our itinerary includes several beautiful locations with a lot of photographic potential. Most are on the seaside and some are perched on top of a hill. All are photographer friendly and safe.
We will wander around Antibes, its port, beaches and the old town – rain or shine this place is beautiful. We will go to Nice for the flower market, where we will photograph people selling, buying or just admiring what’s on the stalls. We will go to Monaco and visit the the port, watch the changing of the guards (depends on schedule) and visit the aquarium for its stunning collection of history, fish and the view from the roof top

Of course if weather permits, we will get up early to catch the sunrise and sunset on the beach. We will also find us a place for some night photography.

—————————————————————-

Beginner: You will be shown some tips on how to better photograph these locations and what new techniques you can try. It won’t be one to one tuition but I am sure you will enjoy the trip and learn a bit about photography.

Intermediate and Advanced: I will take you to different locations where you can practice your photographic skills and capture some stunning photographs. The book will include information on some walks if you need to wander to do something different.
