Ages-Old Wonders
CALVIN G. LYONS
MOUGINS, FRANCE
Looking to maximize their time in Europe, Calvin and Helen Lyons capped off a
cruise on the Rhône River with an Interval exchange to the French Riviera village
of Mougins. Situated between Grasse and Cannes, Mougins proved a delightful
spot to explore. “The narrow, winding streets in Old Mougins are home to artists,
jewelry stores, clothing boutiques, restaurants, and an excellent hotel,” Calvin
says. “The village architecture has not changed in centuries.” The couple enjoyed
viewing images of Picasso (who spent his final days in Mougins) at the local pho-
tography museum, perusing art galleries and antique stores, and taking in the
view from the church tower of Église St. Jacques-le-Majeur, which stretched all
the way to the Bay of Cannes. “In short, our river cruise was great, as we
expected, but our exchange to Le Club Mougins was a fantastic added week
only made possible by Interval International.”

Request and Receive
CHUCK AND JENNIFER HENRICH
ST. THOMAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
Every year, Chuck and Jennifer Henrich place an exchange request
for the first week of April, a highly demanded travel time. “To our
delight, Interval came through,” Chuck says. “But this time, I actually
did a couple fist pumps when we read the exchange notification
email because we landed the Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove in St.
Thomas.” To plan their trip, the Henrichs browsed postings on Interval’s
Community forum for fellow members’ recommendations. Joined by
their two best friends, the four explored St. Thomas in their rental
car, hopping over to the beaches of St. John one day via car ferry.
When they weren’t enjoying the amenities at their resort, the group
spent time strolling the narrow alleys, unique stores, and open-air
market in Charlotte Amalie. “We even got to sit outside and eat on
an alley patio,” Chuck says, “admiring the [old] stone walls.”
Our cozy condo made it easy to have the time of
our lives traveling a unique part of the world.”
