We visited Antibes which has Marineland there. At Marineland they have Orcas, dolphins, seals, sea-lions, sharks, polar bears and other things. We watched the seal and sea lion show which was not that interesting. We went and watched the dolphins but got there too early and the dolphins came up to the sides where we were and started performing for us, jumping up on the platform, somersaulting. It was better than their show. But best of all we saw Orcas which are Amelia's favourite animal. They had a 5 day old baby as well.
We visited Monacco which is full of rich people. They have a royal family there and lots of casinos.
We went to St Tropez which is very pretty and has lots of yachts. Because it was cold there wasn't much to see there but we bought some coats.
We visited Arles which is where Vincent Van Gogh lived. He cut his ear off and went a bit mad and we visited the hospital where he stayed and visited the cafe that he painted. It was snowing that day so we also got to have snowball fights. The snow was the best bit of the day but it was freezing!

After Arles, we saw an old roman aqueduct and visited Orange which has a roman ampitheatre which they still use. Then we visited the Papal palace at Avignon as well as the famous bridge.

We also visited Carcassone, a fortified city with a castle in the middle. It gets very cold in Carcassone so we didn't stay very long. Just long enough for Dad to have a lunch of frog legs, snails and fois gras which is duck liver. Yuck!
For our last day before Spain we visited Collioure, a port town with an old fort. They were having xmas celebrations there so they had ice sculpting, camel and pony rides, lots of stalls. But it was too cold to enjoy it properly,
