The Kiechle Family Web Site

<body class=content> <h1 class=title>The Kiechles</h1> <p class=just>Welcome to our Internet home! In January of 2013, we moved to Cannes in the South of France after living in the <a href="https://www.ville-valbonne.fr/" target="_blank">Valbonne</a> area (between Nice and Cannes, just north of Antibes) for 22 years. Before that, we lived in Huntington on Long Island. Now that we have retired (as of July 2016) we split our time between <a href="https://www.kiechle.com/area/cannes/index.htm" target="_blank">Cannes</a> and <a href="https://www.kiechle.com/trips/chapelhill/index.htm" target="_blank">Chapel Hill</a>, North Carolina. If you are a first time visitor, check the <a href="site/index.htm" target="_top">Site Info</a> for a brief description on how best to view these pages and some information on the way the site was built. Any questions? Take a look at the <a href="site/faq/faq.htm" target="_top">FAQ</a>; if that does not provide an answer, feel free to send us an email.
