Along the coast of the south of France and into Italy (we visited San Remo for lunch one day), the plant life is in. cre. di. ble. Never have I seen such huge cacti and vivid flowers in bloom. I think my favourites were the giant mother in law’s tongues, but if you like bougainvillaea this area is the land of it. Honestly, everywhere you look there are overwhelming pops of fuchsia – such a belle feast! There is no surprise as to why this Italian shoreline (closest to the côte d’azur) is known as the floral coast – costa dei fiori.
