FRA CE OUR approach to France and the French Riviera brought us into closer contact with the hot sunshine and clear blue water. The entire coastline, appropri- ately named La Cote d'Azur, held for all of us a certain fascination, this fascination a result of life long stories and pictures We have read and seen con- cerning this area. We left Golfe Juan on buses and trains for all parts of the coast, Cannes, because of its closeness, drawing a good deal of play during the first few days. The tours of the Riviera, including 3 Nice, Antibes, Juan les Pins, the Princi- pate of Monaco with the fabulous Monte Carlo, the tiny yet wonderfully interesting village of Eze and the miles long beaches all over gave us some idea of the luxury and splendor of this vacation paradise. We saw the controversial Bikini bathing suits and the performance of the wearer in donning this upaper and string garb still is topic for unusual conversations. The trip to Grasse brought us in close contact with the whys and wherefores of perfume manufacturing and the purchases from here added extensively to the number of packages we had to carry home. The scenic ride through the Maritime Alps with our Mgali' guide showed us the extreme beauty of this famous mountain range. We found the French foods and wines the best anywhere and the thoughts of these delicious taste treats still linger in our memories. Cannes Boat Harbor s i f 1 ' Even from the ship we could see the - glamor of the area, do you remember fin, S the lush setting of Eton Rock and its .s iff -1 f fabulous pool? Or how about the small shack called home by Aly Khan fand Rita?j And please, donit- forget the amazing fleet landing at Golfe Juan. Be assured that whenever France is men- tioned among Navy men, the good times of this small section will be cussed, dis- cussed and laughed over. Municipal Casino - az, Awnm..,,!V It
