Palm Springs, California.
We leave Los Angeles to head to the city of Palm Springs. This city is located in the valley in the middle of the Mojave Desert, a veritable green setting in Riverside County in southern California.
We have never been so close to Mexico... I love Mexico and its sumptuous sombreros!
This oasis is a refuge for the wealthiest Los Angeles residents looking for peace and quiet, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Golf, tennis, etc. are played here a lot.
We were able to see the house where Elvis Presley lived as well as that of the divine Marilyn Monroe and the bronze statue of Lucille Ball , the great American actress, producer and director.
A few miles away is Joshua Tree National Park, with its Joshua trees, a species found only in the southwest United States. This well-known park was considered the epicenter of Californian culture in the 1970s.
Desert areas cover no less than 25% of the surface area of the state of California. In the two great deserts of Mojave and Colorado, the temperature reaches peaks. The natural light there is ideal for photographers.
A very pleasant time in Palm Springs, a very beautiful place to recharge your batteries and relax while gradually adapting to the 9:00 hour time difference with France.
