South of France Recap — posh talk with pascale

Hey posh people! I know I've been MIA but I guess you could say I've just been living my best life HAHA. I've been traveling all summer long and have been to London, Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Cannes, Johannesburg, and Cape Town so far and I'm leaving for Portugal in a couple days.

The South of France is one of my favorite places in the world it is the epitome of elegance and beauty. I stayed at the Hotel Hermitage in Monte Carlo, Monaco which was a stunning hotel with a convenient location with close proximity to the luxury shops, casino, Cafe de Paris, etc. There's endless options for gastronomic experiences in Monte Carlo but my favorite restaurants in Monte Carlo were Buddah Bar and Bagatelle. Buddha Bar is a very vibey and trendy Asian fusion restaurant with great music, fabulous decor, cool cocktails and of course delicious food! I had my birthday/4th of July dinner at Bagatelle. The restaurant was decked out with the cutest American themed decorations and the waiters were all wearing red, white, and blue and the hostess was dressed as the Statue of Liberty...they even had a beer pong table outside LOL! They also had a great playlist of America's greatest hits and you bet I was singing along obnoxiously, especially when the Fresh Prince of Bel Air song came on (Yes I know, I'm the WORST HAHA). On my birthday, I was surprised by my family with a private helicopter trip to St Tropez. While in St Tropez, we went to Le Club 55 where they also went full-out for the 4th! It was definitely the best birthday yet!

On the first day in Monte Carlo we went to Nikki Beach which is a super fun beach/day club located on the rooftop of the Fairmont. I recommend getting a day bed or cabana with bottle service for the ultimate experience. On the second day, we took a yacht from Cap D'Antibes to Cannes. Once we docked in Cannes and went to the most beautiful "Locals Only" type of beach and ate a restaurant called L'Aiguille (I wish I could remember the name of the beach). Then, we took a walk on La Croisette in Cannes and shopped a little. Another day we went to Paloma Beach in Sain-Jean-Cap-Ferrat which is a breathtaking part of the French Riviera. That night we met up with some family friends in Villefranche-sur-mer and watched the fireworks in the old town which was absolutely spectacular.

I love the French Riviera and recommend it for you next European trip!

XOXO PASCALE 💋
