Last year in my home from home in the South of France - five minutes from the sea with the Alpes Maritimes behind us - I was driving home at sunset when two enormous wild boars dashed across the road in front of me (male chasing female I think). Both were the size of small ponies with huge tusks. Could have been a very nasty accident - I missed hitting them by inches, not feet. But it was a rural experience. Less than a mile from Antibes and Cannes. And the air, filtered by trees and grass, is fantastic. Always sleep with window open.
