The European wilderness
We just returned from a short trip to southern France – company meeting plus a couple of vacation days. January is not peak season on the Riviera. The temperature never got much above 40 or so (F - I haven't achieved a fluency in Celsius) and it drizzled a lot. Not great beach weather.
But we rented a car after the meeting, and drove up to the old medieval hilltown of Vence, which is definitely worth a trip, and went futher up into the pre-Alps. It is amazing to me that even in Europe, which has a population density roughly 4 times that of North America, there are large areas where there just aren't many people. Like this one.
