Saorge, France (Jul 30, 2003)
This old house in Saorge was on sale. Saorge is a small and ancient village between France and Italy, hanging on the steep clifts of the Val Roya, in the Alps. The valley was one of the ancient trade routes connecting the mediterranean sea (and the city of Nice) with the italian inland plains. We passed by Saorge while driving from the village where my parents live (in the italian Alps) to Ventimiglia, which is on the border between Italy and France on the sea. Since it was almost lunchtime, we stopped at a very nice restaurant in Saorge overlooking the valley, and now I remember that lunch as one of the highlights of the trip.
