Nothing better than village hopping for a day out. Here are just some of the many villages to visit on a day-trip to the nearby Alpes-Maritimes.

From the beaches to the mountains here are my 10 favorite villages in the Alpes-Maritimes department. Our department is blessed with an unusually high number of beautiful villages which makes it hard to narrow the list down to just 10.

One of the older versions of a beautiful old French song with lyrics which resonate today more than ever:

It snowed at Port-au-Prince;
it is still raining at Chamonix.
We cross the ford of the Garonne;
the sky is brilliant blue in Paris.
My love, winter is upside-down;
this is not the time to be outside.
The world is upside-down—
we freeze in the south, we sweat in the north.
Make a fire in the fireplace, I am coming home.
If the sun is out in Paris, the sun is out everywhere.
Make a fire in the fireplace, I am coming home.
And if winter gets to be too much, we will hibernate.....

Fais du feu dans la cheminée, je reviens chez nous,S' il fait du soleil à Paris, il en fait partout...Pour regarder Les Compagnons de la chanson sur Youtube ...
