This is a place where my father came with all his family when he was a little boy. His father was a farmer and at this time they arrived with the horse pulling the cart and the 10 children!!!. They could stay two days, cooking, sleeping on the beach, fishing, enjoying the nature with all the family.
Times have changed, don’t you think?
You have now a little vision of our nice summer moments. August arrives! And of course the Oslo Blog Gathering!!!

Sorbus, a finnish wine, an excellent one!
When Kalle (Anaïs boyfriend) and his sister were at home we went for the second time at the Mont Faron (remember the first time on my old blog in march 2009 click here).
We had a fabulous weather and enjoyed the view from the top of the montain on the town Toulon and around!
remember:»
“Mont Faron is a mountain overlooking the city and roadstead of Toulon, France. It is 584m high. At its peak is a memorial dedicated to the 1944 Allied landings in Provence (Operation Dragoon) , and to the liberation of Toulon.»

As you know it perhaps, my daughter, Kalle her boyfriend and Kalle’s sister are at home now! Even if Pierre and me ,we are not on holiday still, we have great, great time!
Yesterday afternoon we were at beach. On the picture you can see the Cap Sicié, wich is situated the most at the south in Provence, Alpes, Côte d’Azur and the two rocs called Les Deux Frères (the two brothers). If you walk to the top of the Cap Sicié (352 m) you will have a marvelous point of view from the Massif des Maures to the Calanques de Marseille and the Isle of the Riou without forget the isles of Hyères, the presqu’île of Giens and the rade of Toulon, the Mont Faron, the Mont Caumes, le Bare des Quatre Ouro and Le Gros Cerveau.

The 3 th of juny I went with some other classes to Marineland.
In France, teachers are used going for a last trip with their pupils in mai or juni.
Marineland is a destination the children love and I can assure you that many of them didn’t sleep the night after the trip because they kept the dolphins, orcas, polar bears (Flocke , the famous polar bear born in captivity at the Nuremberg zoo and Rasputin, a russian born male) and the sharks all the night in their mind!!!!
Click here if you want to have an idea about the show!!! Pics I took when I could because you imagine I kept always my eyes on the pupils!!!
I know some don’t like such places where you can admire the animals and their show when they should be free but I can say that Marineland is a place where the humans respect the animals and love them. Plus I think it’s a plus to make children know them and realise how it is important to protect them on the planet. I think it» s a first step to sensibilise them.
If you want to know more about Marineland you can read the wikipedia article : click here!
I hope you enjoyed watching the diaporama!!! Now I continue my job preparing home for Anaïs, my daughter who lives in Finland and will arrive tomorrow with her boyfriend Kalle and his sister!
Have a fabulous sunday and week!!!!
