Excellent!

Hi, DandelionPowderman, FrogSugar, RobberBride, RipThisBone, muenke, peoplewitheyes, treaclefingers, Cristiano Radtke, Hairball, Jfk19562003, detroitken and Ross!

We're really glad you guys liked it our photos!! It was a very short trip, we did everything in less than 24 hours, so we had to be fast, but it worth it!

Take care!!


PS: FrogSugar, I bought that shirt in Los Angeles, but it was a looooong time ago

excellent photo essay, thanks!

Nice thread. great pics!

That 1. old pic makes me remember Tony Sanchez' story when they (Keith, cryin Marlon,Tony,etc.) were rescued from local fishermen and had to give away Keith' expensive Rolex.

Fabulous photos Justin and Jaggerzita and a great little mind trip thinking back on what those days must have been like.

Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away....

Great photos, thanks for sharing!
Was there ten years ago, then the gates weren't covered. When did that happen?

Thank you, guys, we really appreciate your words! It was a very special trip for us, visiting where it all happened, very exciting moments indeed!

P.S: Thommie, regarding the gates, I think they were covered around 2013, if I'm not mistaken...

Yes, Villa Nellcôte was bought in 2006 (or 2005, according to some sources) by a russian billionaire for 100 million euros (U$128 million), and in 2013 he covered the gates.

Thanxs for sharing, beautiful pics, and you two look both great as well !

Wonderfull Exile shirt, would love to have it !

100 million Euro's : thats probably more than Jagger owes !

Owes?! So that's why they keep touring!!!

wow, that looks fantastiqueee!

Fun photos, thanks! You are a cute couple.

Thanks for great close pics

Thanks so much for posting these! The Nellcote/Exile days (including the '72 Tour) is by far my favorite Stones era.

Must have been magic...

Thanks for your nice comments, guys, we liked them a lot!

Very timely, thanks, and your girlfriend is clearly very patient. I had booked 2 nights in Monaco between Paris shows and completely forgot about Nellcote, until I saw your post. I popped over yesterday, and was intrigued by the Death! sign outside the utility building on the corner. Kinda appropriate, though.



(Hope it is clear)

«Danger de Mort»...

WELL DONE!

I really love these pics thanks for posting.............

I have one word to say and that is: Wow! :-) Nice work, love your photos. And I'm impressed by the research you must have done. Thank you for the trip :-)

Thanks for the beautiful pics Justin. Reminds me of my visit in 2007. I will never forget this day:

Haha, that's a nice capture, DeanGoodman! By the way, I would say that the girlfriend in fact is very much fan of the Stones too

Nearly every year we -my girl and me - got to Villefranche since 1988!

Always looked for Nellcote - never found it.

Thanks to internet/google maps we now made it 3 years ago for the fist time.

Loved your photos!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent!!!

Rockandroll,
Mops

Hi, Django, good to know you made a video about your trip! However, I tried to watch it and unfortunately it was not available anymore, did you know that? Could you repost it, please? Thanks

Great pics, thank you!
Mandrax II is one hell of a boat!!

Finally I made it!

Being in Italy for a holiday with the family we decided
to go to Monaco on our son´s birthday. On the way back we
took a bath at the Prom de Marinieres in Villefranche.

I said: "Around this bay is a villa called
Nellcote where the Stones recorded my favourite album!"
"Yes, Dad!"
I didn´t want to search it as it was getting late and we
had to go another 100 km back to Italy.

On our way back I decided to drive right instead of left.
One of those intuitive decisíons in life...

And on the right hand side there it was...one of the
holy Stones places...Nellcote!

Thank! The video is still available on youtube. Try this link: [www.youtube.com] Maybe your browser blocked it. Mine is Opera and it's easy to unblock it in the address line.

What a cool story, TooTough! It was God's plan that made you be there at that time!!
