Agay - Paradise on Earth
| Agay, Cote d'Azur, France: This is where I plan to spend 2-3 summer months while avoiding August if possible. A small Provencal cottage sitting on the slopes of the Bastide Hill in Agay. This pearl was acquired in 1988 from a German lady (Mme Braun) who had constructed it in 1973. Agay is situated some 7 km east of St Raphael and some 25 km west of Cannes on the Cote d'Azur. Have a look at this fabulous link (choose "La Baie d'Agay" option in Phototeque/Photos Panomariques 360°). It gives you a good idea of the paradise conditions one can experience here. The typical pointed hill just in front is the Dramont half island with a lighthouse at the top. The terrace in front of the house has experienced quite a lot of "festas" and a few pictures will illustrate this (see below). A lot of energy has been spent on keeping up this place but also quite some time of relax. Agay was also the birthplace of Boris who just adored to come back there.
