Bonjour et bienvenue en France... encore !
Good morning and welcome back to France... again!
Good morning and welcome back to France... again!
What happens when you combine the winningest country with the winningest player? Well, you get a win, of course! We continue our see-saw this month going from France with the most wins to Morocco with its first back to France again. And we return here courtesy of CandyperfumeBoy who has dominated the first half of the year with his third win courtesy of this tune:
This time our trip to France takes us to the French Riviera town of Toulon. And lucky us, we're once again at the beach during a time when we've hit perfect weather in Mediterranean France. That's par for the course here, as we've happened to arrive at the sunniest location in France, with the most sunshine per year. It's also the warmest location in France. Well, of course there's beachfront you can enjoy - over in the Le Mourillon neighborhood.
Perhaps you're tired of beaches - we seem to keep winding up in towns that have them, so if you fancy an opera, Toulon has one of the biggest opera houses in France. And Toulon's biggest attraction are the Provencal markets. The tourist pamphlet I'm reading says this market is a place to get... tablecloths? Oh, screw that! I'm here for the food - this is France! Cheese! Wine! Pastries! I sure hope wherever we go next has awful food so I can lose all this French weight.
