Retreat to Nice, France By Jeff Stanford, 2024 Buy prints at: https://jeff-stanford.pixels.com/

Retreat to Nice, France. My friend Isabelle is busy in Paris and invited me to stay at her apartment in Nice. She knows how much I hate winters in Sweden and anyway needed someone to look after her cat. She always leaves me with fresh cut flowers, especially Pink Peonies. It is warm enough to have the window open looking out over the harbor.

Triumphal Arch of Orange, France (No. 1)

Orange  is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. It is about 21 km (13 mi) north of Avignon, on the departmental border with Gard, which follows the Rhône and also constitutes the regional border with Occitania. Orange is the second-most populated city in Vaucluse, after Avignon. In 2019, it had a population of 28,772.

The settlement is attested as Arausio and Arausion in the first and second centuries AD, then as civitas Arausione in the fourth century, civitas Arausicae in 517 (via a Germanized form *Arausinga), Aurengia civitatis in 1136, and as Orenga in 1205.

The name Arausio can be explained as the Gaulish ar-aus(i)o- ('temple, cheek'), itself derived from an earlier Proto-Celtic *far-aws(y)o-, which literally means 'in front of the ear'. It is cognate with the name of other ancient settlements, including Arausa, Arausia, Arausona (Dalmatia) and the nearby Oraison (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).

Roman Orange was founded in 35 BC by veterans of the second legion as Arausio (after the local Celtic water god), or Colonia Julia Firma Secundanorum Arausio in full, "the Julian colony of Arausio established by the soldiers of the second legion." The name was originally unrelated to that of the orange fruit, but was later conflated with it.

Grasse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France: Grasse is situated 16 km north of Cannes in southern Provence. The town was originally best known as a centre for leather tanners, but this gave way to perfume production, for which the town is still famous today. There is an International Museum of Perfume here and four important perfume producers are still based in the town and can be visited. But there is much more to Grasse than perfume…Grasse is a pleasant and quite a sizable town, with the old town and the region around Place aux Aires a good
