Cote D'Azur Marathon

It's marathon season in the south of France. First comes the Luberon marathon at the beginning of October and then the long distant running circuit swings down to the coast. Forget London or New York, there can be few more breathtaking runs than the 26 miles between Nice and Cannes, jogging along the coast through Juan Les Pins and Antibes, waving at the oligarchs in their superyachts, peeking over the high fences of some of the most expensive real estate in the world. I suspect the 26 miles go very quickly. I would even be tempted to give it a try were it not for my dodgy knees.
