Discovered a cool place this month. Just an hour from Cannes is a reserve where once-native species are being reintroduced to the Southern Alps.
So about 40 miles from the beaches of the Cote d'Azur you can see bison, elk, deer, and the Przewalski horse.

The extreme right came in third in the French legislative elections. We are having a small champagne with friends.
If they had come in fourth, it would be a much larger champagne.
