Nice / Cannes / Monaco
 

which is the best place to visit?

Anybody been to any of these? What are your impressions?

Thanks!

Go visit all three. Love them all and especially the food and lots to see but I usually stay in Nice.

You can visit all 3 in a day. On the next day drive down to St. Tropez.

I got lost once driving around and ended up in a small vineyard and spent the day chatting with the owners. What a great day.

Sounds good... we were thinking about taking mopeds and visiting 2 or 3 of them but are tentatively planning on basing from Monaco.

Having spent many great
 

holidays on Le Cote D'azure...

Monte Carlo is ok but only has the Casino..

Cannes is great.. The beaches are brilliant.

Nice has a beach of pebbles...

St. Tropez is fabulous but the beaches are nowhere near the town centre/harbour

Antibe is another beautiful place

The place where all the young people go is Juan Les Pins... Clubs, bars and restaurants can be open all night...

One thing.. You will need a car and a lot of money as it isn't cheap anywhere

Thanks for the great info JoeA.

I see you are from London... which is my next stop after the Riviera.... any suggestions on what to do/see in London?

Hi :)

I use to live in Nice for 8 years, and my father lives now in monaco, so i'm the one who can tell you where to go ;)

It depends of what you're looking for, but I think Monaco is a fabulous place to visit, it is very impressing, because of people, cars, casinos etc... You have also some great discos there such as "the Jimmy's" (35? for a single glass of alcohol :thumbsup ). I did not mentionned yet all the ladies how beautifull they are.. A lot of Italian girls, lot of beautifull strangers!! sometimes you'll have to pay, sometimes you won't ;)

Nice, Cannes and the other places around there are nice too, but this is not as much impressing than Monaco :P some greats disco's out there, check "Juan les pins" too !

thanks merdoc.

My family is from the region and we own a house near the beach in Antibes. Nice is for older folks, Cannes & Jean Les Pins is for younger folks. Don't forget a short car trip to Manaco.
