Saint-Tropez
A Mediterranean resort area full of artists, millionaires and actors.The clear blue sky is impressive. Luxury open-sea yachts line the port of Saint-Tropez. The night view from the restaurants around the harbor was so wonderful that I felt I saw a real resort for the first time.
Poolside view of Hotel Byblos (4 star L). The pink color of the tablecloth is the point color. The blue sky, the white outer wall, the brown tiles, and the green thread cedar are shining very brightly. The old town, visible through the tiles, is designed to block the cold wind from the mountains. The shining sunlight was intense, and the light-shielding sunglasses were unexpectedly very useful.

Yachts sailing off the coast of Saint-Tropez Port. This is a picture taken with a telephoto lens. (Overwhelmed by the scale of European buildings, telephoto lens was rarely used on this trip.)
There is a cruiser off the coast of Pampelonne beach, and seabirds are flying in the backlight. Tahitian Beach, at the northeastern end of Pamperonne Beach, is illuminated by the rising sun. It is a shallow sea with very clean water.

BORMES-LES-MIMOSAS
A new resort in the Mediterranean with the name Mimosa (Acacia). The mayor, wearing a medal, told us that he is planning a park that will gather mimosa flowers(525 types) from all over the world. In the old town, roof tiles and exterior wall colors are regulated to preserve the cityscape. Repainting of the outer wall is permitted by submitting a color sample. The mountain on the right back of the city was burned by a forest fire. 50% of the total area of the city has disappeared due to a recent forest fire.

| Flowering all over the wall |
In the old town, many ivy flowers are used on the outer walls. The stone cityscape is decorated with flowers and has succeeded in creating a very romantic atmosphere. The top of the fence is also covered with ivy geranium. It's a wonderful volume.
A wall of flowers densely planted on the side of the street. It is quite powerful by mixing colorful flowers. The color is very beautiful, probably because the air is so clear.
