I live in the south of France myself. I recommand Eze as well, and the bay of Villefranche. If you have the occasion to take a car, go further north to the Gorges of the Verdon, highest gorges of Europe with an emerald river at the bottom. The panoramic drive start at Paluds sur Verdon.

Here's a photo I snapped of the beach on the Antibes hike a few weeks ago...

Screenshot 2024-07-26 at 3.17.25%E2%80%AFPM

The beach is rocky so it's not the ideal laying around beach but for someone who spends most of their time in the water, I absolutely love it.

I do! It looks like an amazing trip.

Edit: Also those steps in what I have to imagine that weather is like looks brutal. Clearly rewarding but, damn. How is the temp? I've only ever been to the Gorges du Verdon area in the off season.

If you end up at Wall Street you can get the sando on bread or a wrap; they're both amazing but I prefer the wrap.

For the hike, if you're walking to the start of it, cut over the mountain vs walking along the water; not only is it a lot shorter but you get to see some really really cool houses (plus the hike is along the water so you're not missing anything by skipping the water side walk to get there). And bring lots of water. It's a super easy hike but there is basically no shade.

Enjoy, dude!

Was a tad hot, about 32 C. Took about 15 mins to get to the top but worth every step!! Spent some time in the Church, cooled down, back down and off to the lake to swim:

I’m all set on the Olympics. 

Gays? check. Trans? check. Drag queens? check. Fat bitch? check. A fucking CHILD? (pedo shit) check. Mocking Christianity repeatedly? check. 

Sick of all the bullshit bleeding into every possible outlet, including the event that celebrates discipline, talent, patriotism etc.

The building was the prison she lived her last days in too. And the song is about beheading and hanging the French nobles. 

Metal as fuck.

That makes it even more badass. 

I found the audio on YouTube, but I haven't seen a clean edit of the performance yet.

I tried watching the opening ceremonies two different times today, only lasted a few minutes before I had to turn it off.

Very little desire to, television spectate, these days.

Moto, F1, IMSA, is about all I care to sit through.

Didn't watch the tour for the first time since the lemond era.

 

All I had to do was read about the cross dressing last supper performance.

That and knowing the broadcast would be full of tear jerking backstories, and other fluff, subliminal messaging, etc...

 

Just don't have the time, or desire, for that crap.

 

Somebody fix this damn website's spelling issues.

It had a lot of cool ideas. The whole aassassin's creed thing with the guy running around was cool and a lot of cool elements but man i turned it off after the awesome performance by Gojira. The whole overly gay tranny ect shit put me off even wanting to watch the Olympics a little bit.

Saw it

Mentioned it

Nay sayers offended by honest observation. 

But, that’s ok. Because, I know I’m not alone and the world is getting tired of being told that The Freak Show is the Norm. “Live and Let Live” is being destroyed by these idiots. Yet, they blame it on those of us that are simply saying, “Hey. Leave our kids out of it and we’re getting awfully tired of your ‘look at us’ shit!”

But, no worries. We’ll let them all eat their cake…and eat their own…too. Yup, that’s exactly how this is playing out. 

I’m jus’ sayin’…

Absolutely sickening....       I won't watch one minute of that shit.       The outright mocking of the Last Supper... unforgiveable. 

As for the Metal band playing ....what do you think they're condoning?    "Kill the rich".      Driving thru L.A. the last couple times to visit family in the last few months, I see signs hanging from the freeway overpasses:  "Eat the rich".

Guess what folks, if you own a house, you're "rich".

Nothing like a bunch of grown ass men "sick of LGBTQ shit is being jammed down their throats" running to Vital to inject LGBTQ shit into a thread that has nothing to do with LGBTQ shit.

Losers.

From an article on this disgusting shit:

For her part, European Parliament member Marion Marechal, hastened to note that the insulting event was devised by France’s far-left minority, not by the French people.

“To all the Christians of the world who are watching the #Paris2024 ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the Last Supper, know that it is not France that is speaking but a left-wing minority ready for any provocation,” Marechal posted, along with the hashtag “#notinmyname.”

Seriously?    What a bunch of bullshit.   The world should not be satisfied by this type of response.  How does a major worldwide televised event not have some kind of oversight committee that should have shut this shit down before it ever made a stage.    

Also:

The opening ceremony was presented on July 26, which happened to be the eighth anniversary of the 2016 martyrdom of French priest Father Jacques Hamel at the hands of Islamic jihadists. Father Hamel had his throat slit as he was celebrating Mass in the northern French city of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

Coincidence?    I think not.

Losers.

Exactly, LGBTQ and religion shit has nothing to do with the Olympics. So why was is highlighted so much, and why is Christianity being mocked? 

I’ve never spoken out on political shit until recently, it’s become an obvious coordinated effort to move further and further away from religion and morality. I grew up in a non-religious house in the SF Bay Area. We didn’t think twice about gay/trans kids in school, was pretty common and they were just another kid at school. It’s been very confusing to see why this has been pushed so hard.  

The “loser” comment is honestly hilarious. Go find the folks who support this agenda and see how they are contributing to the world. Most are the outcasts of society that want to see it all go up in the flames. The people who are raising families and thinking long term for future generations are absolutely sick of it. 

I’ve been on this forum for like 11 years, I made my first post in the non-moto section after the Trump assasination attempt and this has been my second. I’ve stayed out of these conversations for years, while taking in information being very careful of the sources and not taking sides. I was very moderate and didn’t feel either party represented my beliefs. Now I feel you have to pick a side, and I’m very confident that one side is much better for the long term health of our country and world.
