Honeymoons on the brain part Trois - la piece de resistance

After lots of thought and research, i was about to throw in the towel and just go anywhere for this honeymoon, it's a lot of work! and i'm having this conversation one day with my boss and i was just saying, "if it was up to me i'd be in europe, maybe the french riviera or something" - this is the crux of everything i suppose...i like cultural old things sorta trips, and chris likes beachy do nothing sorta trips...we don't really meet eye to eye here...but Saint Jean Cap Ferrat actually seemed like it might fit the bill for both of us at the suggestion of my very french boss!

Saint Jean Cap Ferrat is a peninsula located in the Cote D'Azur (thats the french riviera to non french speakers) and according to my boss P, is heave on earth and you'll find no where more relaxing and beautiful on this planet...the creme de la creme! so i began my research and what do you know, it truly is a very beautiful place...favorite vacationing spot for european millionaires, royalty and celebrities...it's truly not a place to miss, st tropez doesn't even hold a candle to this gem in the mediterranean

Saint Jean Cap Ferrat is surrounded by the villages Villefranche Sur Mer and Beaulieu Sur Mer, both very nice little Frenchy towns with lots of yummy food and very easily accessed by WALKING! score!! car rental is completely optional as railway and buses are very easy to use and closer sights are within walking distance...30 minutes from the Nice airport, you can always head into the city if you want to take a break from relaxing and wanna get into some hustle and bustle of a larger city...bonus Nicoise cuisine! you're right here! i'm sure the most snooty foodie won't find much to complain.

the resort we're considering is the Royal Riviera, it's a 5 star boutique resort sandwiched right in between beaulieau and Cap Ferrat...

it boasts its own little private beach

heated pool

home away from home

and sharing a meal with your new hubberoo in one of the best restaurants Saint Jean Cap Ferrat has to offer accompanied by views of the mediterranean sea

sounds wonderful doesn't it? a true romantic european honeymoon if you ask me...but the downside to this is that in November its a bit on the cooler side.. 60s to be exact so we wont really be able to take advantage of the pool and beach...but sightseeing will be very comfortable...

another pro would be we can probably take 2 days and go to Corisca to visit where Chris' Meme (grandmother) is from and discover some of his heritage and maybe even see some relatives...

i'm totally loving this pick and it's evolving into my dream honeymoon :)

(note: booking a standard room at this hotel might not be ideal as reviews will tell you it is so tiny you can barely fit your luggage in and overlooks the railway tracks...better off booking a room with gardean and sea views)
