Best place in the south of france?

Question

where should i go?

will be there for 3 - 4 days i want to see some nice places, i have a car so can move about a bit - what do you reccomend?

Answer 1

St. Paul de Vence (have a meal at the Colombe d'Or), Antibes, Villefranch, St. Tropez just for fun, Monte Carlo.

Answer 2

I liked renting a moped from Avignon and just driving past fields of lavender, sunflowers, and pears,  I rode to St. Remy de Provence, an old and small village, to Arles, which was nice, and to see Les Baux (cave dwellings high up on a rocky mount).  You could also go see the Roman Aqueduct.

I wanted to go to Aix, but didn't have time.

Annecy is beautiful, but closer to Geneva than Avignon.

As for the Cote D'Azur I stayed in Nice and got a moped and drove along the coast both directions.  Antibes is pretty and Eze had a cool beach.  I also spend a day in Montpellier, which was a very nice surprise!

Next time I go I want to visit Aix, Cannes, Nimes, Cap D'Agde, Collioure, and maybe Marseille.

Answer 3

Drove to Cassis from Marseilles.Lovely little town with a marina.Excellent seafood restaurants.

Answer 4

I love Villefranche, it s really pretty,and right on the sea.

Answer 5

collure. really beautiful beach town outside perpignon.

Answer 6

Hi,I live in france and after 20 years here I would recommend in provence: l'isle sur sorgue,vence,(inland),as for beach I think roquebrune-sur-mer is the best beach  between cannes and menton-laid back,not over-crowded and easy access by train!! .Otherwise for beach going towards spain I would say coullioure!You mentioned that you have only a few days...so I would stay in the cote d'azur as coullioure is 450km from nice and the only other  scenic beach is in biarritz(atlantic coast) and unfeasible by car but there is a direct flight between nice and there every saturday(1hr...compared to 12hrs driving!!). I hope you check -out these places via the net,omegaman.

Answer 7

South of France is a vast area, but I suggest you to visit three main towns: Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Montpellier.

Bordeaux: Nice town, and lovely countryside (Wine,wine...)

Toulouse: You will fall in love with the city centre.

Montpellier: Because it is close to the Mediterranean sea, and you enjoy a very good weather.

These 3 cities are well linked, thanks to the Motorways A62 and A61.

Answer 8

spain or germany, either of them, that country in between is a bit er..french?!?

no no really my bro went with his wife n kids to a place called la tronch (dont speak french, dont know how to spell it even), but apparently it was beautiful. great beach.

approx a 9 hour drive from the eurostar place

Answer 9

Antibes is beautiful. On the Meditteranean - close to Cannes, Nice and Monaco. Near a fantastic marine park, Lots of watersports and you can hire boats for a reasonable price.

I loved it!
