Maria Sharapova’s adventures on a road trip across France
The retired tennis legend and her British partner recently enjoyed some scenic drives in the French countryside.
Maria Sharapova and her husband Alexander Gilkes are not done with their European escapade. Before visiting Stockholm, the couple was traveling through France, where they took a road trip through some charming villages.
Sharapova hung up her racquet in 2020, after a brilliant career that saw her win 35 singles titles, including five Grand Slam singles titles (two at the French Open and one each at the other three Majors).
The Russian also claimed a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics, losing to her longtime rival Serena Williams in straight sets. She also reached the top of the rankings by becoming the World No.1 in 2005.
Since her retirement, Sharapova has been living a fulfilling and busy life. She is mainly focused on raising her son Theodore, who was born in July 2022.
Besides her maternal duties, Sharapova has also engaged in various other activities. This includes a recent road trip to France where she discovered the small villages of Menerbes, La Coste, Gordes, and Oppede.
“Road trip through the little villages of Menerbes, La Coste, Gordes, & Oppede,” she captioned on Instagram, posting a bunch of pictures from the trip.
