When in Rome, all roads lead to Rome (sic).

I was hoping that Venice would be the highlight of our trip, but limited time and less than ideal weather somewhat dampened the experience. Nonetheless, it was still a beautiful city, and I would love to return someday to wander through its labyrinthine paths under clear blue skies.

Nice (same pronunciation as "niece") doesn't get as much recognition as other cities such as Paris, Venice, or Rome, but this place turned out to be the photographic highlight of my trip.

Through association with the eponymous film festival, tourists might have high expectations of glamour for the city of Cannes.

Although we saw no movie stars during our brief visit, what I did capture with my camera was a picturesque city and an unusually high concentration of photogenic individuals.
